Can 25 year old chin implant be safely removed or made smaller?

Leslie3
I had a chin implant put in almost 25 years ago because of a slightly weak profile protrusion. It was a huge mistake. It lengthed my already long thin face and gave me a squared off masculine jaw. I was a busy mom and I reluctantly left it in but I always hated it! I would love to finally get it removed, It is a Silicon Flowers mandibular glove. I am looking for someone in the Southern California area woth a lot of experience removing or "modifying" old implants. I would appreciate any advice!
