This time, I will explain a chin case in which the chin implant was uncomfortable, so it was removed at the clinic where it had been inserted, and afterward the patient visited because they were dissatisfied with the volume of the chin.
Area of bone resorption after removal of the receded chin implant: purple arrow
As can be seen on the X-ray, the CT scan shows even more clearly that significant bone resorption has occurred.
Please look at the area indicated by the pink arrow.
The yellow dotted line shows the area where the chin bone had been pressed by the chin implant.
When viewed from the side, the chin bone has been resorbed, creating a step-like difference in height. The purple arrow indicates the area that has become step-like.
When performing the surgery,
the height difference caused by bone resorption
is visible to the eye.
After removal of the receded chin implant
When performing chin advancement surgery, the plate must be fixed. Because the area where the plate is fixed is uneven, this is a situation that requires extra care during fixation.

The patient was pleased that the appearance after chin advancement surgery looked more natural than when the receded chin implant had been placed.^^
An anterior chin implant has the advantage of not involving the bone and allowing for a quick recovery. However, bone may resorb, which can cause discomfort, and secondary problems may occur as the implant shifts.
In this post, we looked at a case in which a receded chin implant was inserted, then removed due to discomfort, and the patient visited for chin advancement surgery.

Review of advancement surgery after chin implant removal
The patient also posted a review personally. If you are curious about the recovery period after chin implant removal or chin advancement surgery, this may be helpful as a reference.
During chin advancement surgery, due to the endotracheal intubation tube used for general anesthesia, your throat may feel sore, like a sore throat, for about 2 to 3 days after surgery. Please drink plenty of lukewarm water.^^
Have a great day today as well!
