Does a chin implant move around or is it secured?
Answer: Chin Implant fixation
Chin implants are secured by placement inside a well-fitted pocket and anchoring it to surrounding tissue so it doesn't move. I also use a permanent stitch to hold it in the midline position for silicone implants and for Medpore implants a scew is used.The incision is then closed, and in 30 to 45 minutes the procedure is done, unless the patient has requested other procedures as well.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Securing a chin implant When placing a chin implant it must be secured in place so it does not move around. The key to doing this is to place the implant in a secure and tight pocket between the bone and the periosteum and to also suture the implant to the periosteum blanket. Another important factor is to ensure placement in the center of the chin for even contour. Best regards, Dr. Weiss

Answer: Implant Movement
The risk of chin implant movement is very minimal and will not shift if it is secured with implant screws. You are still able to remove the implant if you choose to later in life but this ensures there is no chance of movement unless sever trauma occurs to your facial structure.

Answer: Chin implant is held in place with normal scar tissue
If the chin implant pocket is precisely made, the implant will not move. Normal scar tissue forms around the implant and I tell my patients that they could be a boxer in as few as 6 weeks. In other words, you would have to be hit in the jaw so hard, that you would break your jaw before you would move the implant.
I rarely would screw an implant in place, but there are some Doctors who prefer that technique. Discuss this in detail with your surgeon.

Answer: Chin Implant Technique
When a chin implant is placed a precise pocket is formed involving both the bone and the layer of tissue just above the bone. Whether the surgeon fixates the implant or not is entirely surgeon preference and not something that the patient really has to worry about. Try not to worry too much about the individual steps of the surgery. Find a surgeon that you like and trust and let them decide how to perform the surgery. Good luck!
