Can I Revise My Medpor Chin Implant?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I had a medpor chin implant done about 15 years ago and have felt it’s too masculine (wide) and would love to have it altered (not removed) – customized to fit my face better. I’ve seen several local plastic surgeons but none have experience with Medpor implants let alone modifying one.

A: It is not effective to attempt Medpor implant revisions with the implant in place…that will not work. You have to remove it. And in removing it it will only come out in pieces. So you might as well get a new implant that is better aesthetically suited for your needs.
