Changing a chin implant

Postby tinkerbell » Wed Sep 23, 2009 7:13 pm

Hi Dr. Lam:
Thank you for this forum. In February I got a medpor chin implant. I am satisfied with the chin portion - but I do not like the wings that extend down my jaw (my jaw is now too wide). They have changed my face shape too much. I would like to get rid of the wings. Do I have any options? Could a doctor bur down the wings, could I have them cut off, can the medpor implant be removed and replaced with a silicone implant or the same implant with no wings? Is this something you would be able to help me with? Thank you!

medpor is near impossible to remove. that is why i don't use it. i would go back to your doctor to find out what exactly was done and what can be done. i am not excited to try to remove your implant. ask your doctor. this is not within my sphere of knowledge, experience, or desire to work with. i'm so sorry.
best,
sml
