Do I have a weak chin/underdeveloped jaw? What would you recommend to improve profile? (photo)

Neat135685Feb 15, 2022

If your chin implant was placed intraorally then you should have it removed the same way in order to avoid a skin incision. If you had it placed from a submental approach, then you have already had a skin incision and as long as it healed fine remove it from the same extraoral incision. You...
