Asked By:Jjourney91 in 12550 - Newburgh, NY

I’m considering a chin implant and with preference of it being done under the chin rather than intra orally after reading and seeing other people’s experiences. I wanted to know would some acne( recently breaking out a bit) and facial hair ( I do shave under my chin) around and under the chin be a possible concern for infection of an implant? As That’s one of my biggest fears with this procedure among shifting, and more, etc.
