How long should I wait to remove a chin implant?

Technically, a chin implant could be removed anytime after it was placed. It normally does take several months for most of the swelling to subside after a chin implant is inserted, so the appearance of the area will be affected for a few months. I would recommend waiting at least 3 months to have a better idea of your results before having the implant removed.

The implant can be removed at any time so there is no minimum amount of time to wait. However, I would recommend waiting 4-6 weeks to allow for the swelling to resolve and you can better assess the aesthetics. One week is very little time t make that determination unless you are completely dissatisfied with the appearance.

You wait as long as it takes until you are certain that what you seeing is the actual result and not swelling. In general one usually has a reasonable idea a chin augmentation result by 4 to 6 weeks after surgery.
