I had a chin implant done 4 years ago. Lately I've been experiencing a lot of pain in my chin and teeth area. Based on CT, this is likely a result of the chin implant placed too high up, now touching some nerves or teeth roots.

I would like to still have an implant but I am in pain, not sure if I can have a revision or just a removal.
