Fear of chin implant long term side effects: Is it worth it risk vs. reward? (Photos)

Asked By:pella in Seoul, South Korea

Hi, I'm hoping to get some honest advice for my chin implant concerns. I had 6mm silicone 5 years ago and no major issues. Not 100% with the appearance as it's a bit unnatural but it is an improvement and I'm ok with it. However I've been thinking of removing or replacement with a sliding genioplasty (3-5mm) as I'm worried about implant longterm issues like bone erosion (I have mentalis strain closing mouth), infection, displacement. Is it worth it risk vs reward? What's my best option? Thank you!
