It appears from your photos that orthognathic surgery would provide a more balanced face. See Dr. Barry Eppley  for a consultation. Good luck

You can remove the mental hardware from your chin after a sliding genioplasty. It can be removed anywhere from 3 to 6 months after surgery depending upon what type of chin bone movement was done.

Dear Diana,I am sorry you did not end up with what you have expected. If you do not like the implant, and I agree with you that it made your chin look wider, then definitely you can remove it. The question remains what id best that suits you to replace it. Sliding Genioplasty might be an answer...
