What complications from jaw implants?

If you are referring to chin or mandibular angle implants (as opposed to dental implants) aside from the usual surgical risks of anesthesia, bleeding, infection, potential problems to be concerned about are implant shift, asymmetry, sensory nerve injury and implant rejection/extrusion.
