Instantly regretting Medpor chin implant. How soon can it be removed?

Thank you for your question and I am sorry you didn't get the results you wanted from your chin implant. I would recommend removing it as soon as possible to avoid tissue integration that could make the removal process more challenging. I typically use silicone implants for this procedure, since they are the easiest to remove if a patient makes that choice in the future. This procedure should only be performed by a very experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon who has the expertise and skill to produce the best possible result.

Considering tissue ingrowth typical for Medpor implants, it is best to have implant removed ASAP. You should ask your surgeon to do it and replace it with different shape/size silicone implant in the same setting. Good luck.

It should be removed immediately. Once healed then you could think about having a sliding genioplasty.
