Question: "Can you replace a chin implant with a larger sized implant? I was nervous and went with a smaller sized implant. After asking about going bigger I was told I could not get a larger size because of scar tissue. Is this true? Thanks in advance."


Answer: "In most cases, you can replace a smaller chin implant with a larger one. Scar tissue tissue will not normally restrict this process."
