But will my natural chin be the same or is it damaged now? (Photos)

March 3, 2019
Asked By:Dana80 in Runnemede, NJ

I had a chin implant put in 20 years ago that I’d like removed. Do I have to worry about erosion or something else? I think the implant was silicone but I’m not totally sure. It was put in in 1999. I just want to look like my old self again, without any implants. How can I find out ahead of surgery if there is erosion or other damage?
