Hi,does bone resorption happen for sure after an implant ? How will this take ? Any way I can stop this from happening ?
Hi Franki,
Any solid implant placed in front of bone will place pressure on the bone causing it to resorb a bit. There is no known time limit for the process to occur. The larger the implant placed, the greater the speed and amount of absorption. If the implant has to be removed for any reason and replacement is not part of the surgical plan, then you face the possibility of a visible change in your facial skeleton. The only option I can see to minimize absorption is to try non-surgical chin augmentation with an injectible filler or fat grafting, or have surgical chin augmentation via a genioplasty (an operation that surgically breaks the chin and moves it forward.) I hope this answer was of help to you.
Warmest regards,
Dr. Shah
How hard is it to remove a chin implant and how long is the recovery?
Typically, removal of a chin implant should be an easy procedure. I have removed several in my office with local anesthesia. It is very important that you see a board certified plastic surgeon to ensure the best possible outcome. The surgeon will need to determine the type of chin implant used in addition to how it was implanted. Overall, this should be a relatively simple procedure.
Thanks for your question.
