Asymmetrical pain after Medpore implant for chin augmentation

It is rare to experience pain, three months after a chin augmentation. I do not like putting in Medpore implants in and around the Jaw because they are inflexible and require very large incisions (consequently resulting in long scars) in order to put them in. Also, more dissection is required with an increased possibility of a mental nerve bruise/damage which may be the cause of your lingering pain. I advise you to return to your original plastic surgeon for further clarification. more
