Is bone absorption due to chin implant reversible?

September 6, 2017
Asked By:bhillsla in Los Angeles, CA

I heard some doctors say it's not a true erosion but it's just a dynamic settling of the bone. When you remove the implant, will the bone go back to the original shape and position (expand) since there is no longer pressure or wait on top of it?
