Infection surrounding chin implant. Should the implant be removed?

Dear San Diego - by now I am sure that you have sought attention for the infection in the chin implant area - there is not question that the site is/was infected and immediate attention is required - Keflex is not my favored choice for an antibiotic in this area - Cipro might be a better choice while a culture is taken and specific treatment can be directed.  Hope all works out well and you can decide if another implant will be placed in the site. 

The posted photos indicate an infected implant. I recommend immediate removal and antibiotic therapy. Replacement after 3 months if healed. From MIAMI 

If you do have infected chin implant, it will have to be removed ASAP. Infections around an implant rarely resolve with antibiotics. Follow up with your surgeon. The implant can  be replaced several months later when things have calmed down.
