I am very seriously considering a chin implant, but I am concerned about possible pain or future problems because I have a tooth implant in my lower right jaw. This tooth implant was a mistake that I was convinced to put in by a dentist many years ago. It has caused intermittant pain and problems for me over the years which is another reason i'm hesitant about proceeding w/the chin implant now. Any feedback on this would be greatly appreciated.
There should be no relationship between your dental issues and placement of a chin implant unless there is residual infection or abscess formation associated with the dental. If your dentist can assure you that there is no infection in a properly placed implant, the chin implant will not affect it.
I've had TMJ for years. I've also had a weak chin. I was diagnosed with ETD in my left ear a year ago but was provided no cause. My jaw joint on the left side is where I have mild locking and inflammation. My ear is still plugged and I am going to start diagnosis again next week with a different ENT. Is it possible that jaw surgery may be my best option if the TMJ inflammation is causing the ETD? How do I protect my ear and get a chin? Can jaw surgery correct both? I have a bite guard already.
From evaluation of your photos I don't believe you have a weak chin so aesthetically would not recommend a chin implant. Placement of a chin implant would have no effect on either your TMJ pain or eustachian tube dysfunction.
I had a XL chin implant 5 weeks ago, and it's too large. I want to reduce the size to a medium. When is a good time to perform the revision? Also, if implant was placed via intra-oral surgery, is it advisable to have revision done via the submental approach as it is supposed to be less prone to complications? Thank you.
Chin implantation usually causes some persistant swelling, especially with placement of a large implant. I would wait a minimum of three months before making any decisions about changing the size of the implant. Regarding approach, I prefer the submental approach but this is a matter to discuss with your surgeon as personal preferences differ.
