Ive read some studies about the high likelihood of bone resorption with silicone chin implants, and that a larger implant presents more risk (Id be getting a larger one). My question is what is the risk, both in terms of health and the Appearance of the implant. If the implant keeps shifting back because of bone resorption, wont I eventually end up with a much weaker chin than when I got the implant? Many thanks!
I am a year out from a chin implant surgery and was curious as to whether facial exercises would be able to move the implant? Some of which are movements such like smiling widely, or blowing air into one or both side of your cheeks while your mouth is closed and holding the air for a specific interval, as well as other various exercises
I had my chin implant done about 4-5 years ago. I believe the implant is silicone and was not secured. It was placed from under my chin. I recently noticed a weird feeling and a bump in my gums/lip area and realized the implant or wing had shifted. It has been this way for several years, but I just now noticed. The surgeon said that surgery is too complicated and that my face is already asymmetrical. He basically said I look fine from the outside and nobody will be looking that close. Advice?!
I got a chin augmentation in silicone through the mouth one week ago. Yesterday I got hit in the chin by my dog, he bumped into it with his head from below. Im so scared the implant has moved. I saw my doctor today but be could not see if it has moved because of the swelling. Is it possible the implant har shifted?
I got a chin and cheek implants about 2 weeks ago. Ive come down with a really bad virus and have been throwing up non-stop. When I throw up I feel so much pressure in my face and the implants feel sore. Can the pressure from throwing up displace the implants in anybway? They are not screwed in. Also can they become damaged by this?
Hello. I had a silicone chin implant inserted around 32 weeks ago and was curious if running and/or weightlifting would move the implant. I clench my jaw hard sometimes and worry that using the chin muscles would move it. I also still feel the implant and while it doesnt bother me much, I imagined the feeling of it on my chin would of gone away by now.
I had a chin implant which the doctor sown into place 3 months ago. I used to sleep on my stomach before surgery but now when I try to sleep on my stomach I get nervous because I'm afraid the pressure from me pressing my face into my pillow will cause my implant to shift or move caused by the pressure on the implant, can this happen?
I just received a rhinoplasty/chin implant combined procedure about 2 hours ago. When I got home, I laid down on my bed and was holding up my phone while watching a video, when one of my hands slipped unto my face. I didn't hit myself hard, it was just a regular hand drop, but it dropped directly on my chin implant. There was mild pain that vanished in 2 minutes, but I was wondering if dropping a hand or phone on your face so early post-op could cause damage or a shift in an implant/nose job.
Hello, I have a chin implant that is slightly crooked and my doctor said re-positioning it with surgery would run a huge infection risk. He said we could massage it a few times a day to try and move it slightly. Thoughts on the massaging and infection risk of shifting and implant would be greatly appreciated.
