Been on fence for a long time about a chin implant. 2 major reasons, one is because im scared that it will have to be removed at some point and to me that kinda defeats the purpose. If im getting this done, I would want it to stay with me til the end. I see a lot of people on here getting them removed years down the road. One reason is bone erosion. Secondly, I don't want to look different just subtly improve chin, basically without anyone friends/coworkers really noticing.. is that possible?

Answer: Silicone chin implant Thanks for sharing. You appear to be a great candidate for a chin implant. The silicone implants have been used for many years. Silicone is an inert substance and should sit quietly and permanently for life. Reasons to remove would be infection or placement issues which is uncommon. I have never hear of an implant being worn out or expired or removed for boney erosion. They come in various sizes so it is up to you how subtle you would like your result to be. Discuss with your surgeon. Best of luck as it is a highly satisfying procedure.

Answer: Chin Implants Chin implants are permanent and will never need to be replaced because of structural failure. Some chin implant patient's do under revision due to initial miscalculation of implant style or size or implant placement issues. Many chin implant's will have some degree of partial implant settling into the bone (what is erroneously termed as bone erosion) but this is not a reason for implant revision or removal. There has to be other aesthetic issues with it to have further surgery.
