Hi, 10 yrs ago at the age of 20 I decided to do something about my week chin and jawline. Unfortunately, the medpor implant i ended up with is too broad for my face, it doesn't fit my features and looks masculine. I had it trimmed (carved) 6 yrs ago by another surgeon who fixated the implant with 2 screws but the improvement really is insignificant. So, at this point I wonder if i have to accept things as they are or if removal is possible? Would i have to fill the cavity?
