Do I Need A Custom Implant Design To Correct A Chin Implant Asymmetry?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I am unhappy with a medpor chin implant that was placed 5 months ago. It is too long, wide, square, and adds to the the asymmetry of my chin. I am interested in replacing it with a smaller implant but I am worried that it will still add to the asymmetry. Is there a way that I can put a smaller implant in without wings while also countering or just not increasing the assymetry? Would a standard implant be able to achieve this or would it have to be custom?

A: This is a self-answering question….persistent asymmetry after a standard chin implant means the next proper step is a custom implant approach.
