Plastic Surgeon : Thank you for your question. After you have a chin implant removed, you will still show some effects of having the implant. You had surgery and you have scarring beneath the skin where the implant was located. It takes 1-2 years for the surgical area to fully soften in response to the removal of the chin implant. Once your lip has not shown changes for 6 months, you can assume that is how your lip will be. If at that time you are not satisfied with the appearance of your lips, you should see a board certified plastic surgeon who can discuss your options with you. The stiffness of your chin will continue to soften.
Customer :

Thank you so much for your response, actually there is stiffness in my lower lip too and I can not smile so wide do you think if the stiffness goes away from my lower lip too, it is gonna change a little bit and back to normal look, it is about more than i year after removal the implant and still i have stiffness in my chin and my lower lip,by the way one more thing i had stiffness in my chin and my lower lip even when they put in the implant and at that tie my lower lip looked thineer as it used to be so full. so I have so much stiffness in my chin and lower lip from the time the put in the implant and after 8 months take it out and now still after more tham one year i have the same stiffness ,it is getting better but it is too slow,there is no nerve damage at all thank you so much again for giving your time to me

Plastic Surgeon : When a chin implant is removed, it m
Plastic Surgeon : When a chin implant is removed, there may be stiffness in the chin area for 1-2 years depending on how much scarring there was around the implant. Do not become discouraged, the area will improve. Just do not let anybody do anything surgically to that area. It may become worse. Your lip will improve.
