Can a MEDPOR Chin Implant Be Removed?

Removing/replacing a medpor implant is not easy and may require more time than you would think.  I prefer using silicone implants.

Although it is time consuming, it is possible to either remove or modify a Medpor implant.  Medpor implants are characterized by tissue in growth which solidly fixes the implant to the bone.  Because of this, removal requires the entire implant to be carefully dissected.  With solid silicone, in contrast, removal generally only requires the capsule to be opened and the implant will pop right out.  Generally after removal, the chin is quite swollen and firm for a while.  In addition, the sensation nerve is at risk of injury and you may end up with a numb chin.

It sounds as though your problem is a technical one with the original surgery.  Most plastic surgeons will not charge a surgical fee for correcting this type of issue but you need to have a frank discussion with your doctor.
