Scar Tissue Capsule in Chin - Removal and Revision Options? (Photos)

aymay9853
I previously had a chin implant that was later removed, but the scar tissue was left behind by my previous surgeon for an "augmented look." This has created a noticeable bulge in my chin that I'm unhappy with. I'd like to know: Can this scar capsule be permanently removed through an intraoral incision (so there are no external scars)? Is removal alone enough or would you recommend combining it with a chin reduction/shortening for better balance? What kind of improvement can I realistically expect compared to my natural pre-implant chin? Thank you in advance!
