Age 23, can chin implant be removed & will chin return to pre-op state?

Asked By:Anna1808 in Los Angeles, California

Hi Docs! I’m looking into removing my silicone implant due to unforeseen anxiety I’ve developed regarding having an implant in my face. My question is, based on me being 23 and having had this medium implant in for less than a year, can I expect my chin to return to its original pre-op state? I’m not expecting an 100% return to normal, but am nervous about having my skin sag post removal. Is recovery time and swelling the same as putting in an implant?
