Can jaw surgery and chin implant removal be performed at the same time?

Question

I had a chin implant placed one year ago and it wasn’t long until I regretted it. I’ve realized that my issue goes beyond just aesthetics and I should’ve opted for jaw surgery instead. If I decide to go down that route, would they be able to remove the implant and perform the jaw surgery at the same time?

Hello ! thank you for your question yes, you can have the surgery again after removing the implant and cleaning that area, the most important point here is to choose a very well experienced surgeon 
Thank you regards !

It’s certainly technically possible to do John‘s surgery and implant removal in the same procedure.
Whether that’s a good idea or not needs to be determined by having a proper assessment.
If you’ve had consultations then ask the providers. If you have not had consultations that scheduled in person consultations with oral surgeons in your community.
During the consultation you can get an assessment and tell the surgeon what your concerns are and what you’re trying to achieve.
Sufficiently talented provider should be able to make an assessment and explain what can and cannot be done and what the recommendations will be.
Without further information we can’t give you an assessment or recommendation.
Removing a chin implant is pretty simple and could be done as a local anesthesia procedure.
It should not be difficult to do in combination with an oral surgery procedure.
I suggest patients schedule multiple in person consultations to find the most appropriate provider for your needs.
Best,
