Does it need to be re-done after a certain number of years, like breast implants, or is it expected to last a lifetime?
Answer: Chin Implant has tremendous longevity
Solid silicone elastomer, which is the molecular structure of the most commonly used chin implant, is designed to last a lifetime. In 17 years of practice, I have not had to replace one for any reason. Dr. G.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Chin Implants are LONG Lasting
As stated by the other physicians, a solid silicone implant can last a lifetime. Solid silicone does not reabsorb and again, because it is solid, there is no concern with it leaking. Best of Luck, Dr. Clevens

Answer: How long does a chin implant last
Chin implants are usually made of a solid material (silicone is most common) and don't have a finite life span. This means that the implant can last a lifetime without a risk of rupture. Once the implant scars into place there usually isn't an issue with shifting, migrating, etc.
However, if you would want the implant removed for any reason in the future, this can be done as well.

Answer: Longevity of chin implants
A chin implant is made of solid silastic silicone and will last a lifetime. The implant, if placed in the proper position, should not shift, move, or migrate or disintegrate and will last indefinitely as long as the patient wants it. However, if the patient should no longer desire the implant, it can easily be removed.

Answer: Chin Implant
Chin Implants are permanent in the vast majority of cases. There is a chance of infection but this is very rare. The beauty of this procedure is that you have long lasting results and don't need repeated injections. It is one of my personal favorite operations -- but talk further with your surgeon about your overall facial harmony and options.
