I would consider a jaw implant, but can it be done under a local anesthetic. What type of implant would widen my jaw?, What are the risks and do they need replacing after a certain period of time like breast implants do.
Chin implants give some of the best and most striking cosmetic improvement in the patient who is a good candidate for a chin implant, The procedure can be easily done under local anesthesia. While I prefer the sub mental incision (under the chin) it can also be done through the mouth. I prefer an extended silicon rubber implant which I place under the periostium of the jaw bone. This will make the implant fix firmly to the bone and not be moveable.
With any surgical procedure there is always the risk of bleeding and infection which in this procedure is very rare. Also there can be nerve injury to the sensation of the lip and movement of the lip. These are extremely rare. Since all jaws are asymmetrical the chin implant will always be a little crooked but it can be overly crooked but again this is rare. I have never seen a chin implant that needed to be replaced except for one that was not put in correctly or was infected.
Does it need to be re-done after a certain number of years, like breast implants, or is it expected to last a lifetime?
As stated by the other physicians, a solid silicone implant can last a lifetime. Solid silicone does not reabsorb and again, because it is solid, there is no concern with it leaking. Best of Luck, Dr. Clevens
hi there,this is lubna, i wanna know that is the chin implant(silicone) is permanent?with the passing of time is there will decrease its volume/bone absorbtion and as a result it will be like before chin implant? after few years do i need to be replaced the old one(silicone)? actually my problem is my double chin and my doctor says to do chin implant,i dont want like this complications, if i want to do neck lift/chin lift for my double chin instead of chin implant then what is your suggetions?
As stated by the other physicians, a solid silicone implant can last a lifetime. Solid silicone does not reabsorb and again, because it is solid, there is no concern with it leaking. Many of my patients that are seeking to Improve their chin and neck elect to have chin implant surgery along with necklift surgery. Without seeing you first, it is difficult to suggest what procedure or combination of procedures might best address your concerns. Best of Luck, Dr. Clevens
