Yes if it is silcone: It should be a silicone implant. So yes, it can esily be removed if it is a silicone implant and it isnt secured to the bone (the ones I do are not secured - they fit precisely in a pocket i make).

Absolutely: Chin implants can be removed. However, it is important to discuss your goals with your surgeon before surgery so an implant of the correct size is used. Most patients are very satisfied with the results of chin augmentation when performed properly.
