Swapping/replace chin implant out for bigger one?

May 1, 2015
Asked By:modestie in Boston, Massachusetts

When I originally had my surgery, my surgeon told me he could not fit the larger and more preferred implant because the skin would not close. He put in the biggest one he could. Now, about a year later, I'm wondering if the skin is stretched enough to allow a larger implant?
