Can a MEDPOR Chin Implant Be Removed?

julie1898
I had a MEDPOR chin implant 2 years ago, the sort of implant that bonds to the tissues, but the implant moved up one side, down the other side. I feel it so much on the upper side near my teeth, it's extremely uncomfortable, and it looks horrible. Can it be removed without butchering my chin? Will I have to pay additional fees for the correction/removal of the chin implant?
