I have complications with 44 year old chin implant. How difficult are they to remove?

Asked By:Selfie147 in Washington, DC

When I was 16, I had a chin implant to accompany a Rhinoplasty. The implant is now causing me some pain and tenderness, not a lot. I fell about two months ago and am not sure if this affected the chin. What types of implants would have been used in 1970 and how difficult are they to remove? How is the type of implant determined? There are no medical records that survived.
