I heard the body can get sick or reject implants when they are put in. Is this true? And how common is it? Are implants worth the risk?
Answer: Chin augmentation In 30 years of practice I only had one patient with an infected chin implant. The implant was removed, the wound healed and a new implant was inserted without any consequences. So, the risk is very low. In my case, I insert the implant intraorally and the patient opened up the incision when bitting into a whole fruit. Other than the localized infection, the patient had no other symptoms.Hope this helps!Sincerely,

Answer: Rejecting an Implant Than you for your question. The risk of infection or the body rejecting a chin implant after it is placed is extremely rare. This risk goes up slightly if the implant is placed through an incision in the mouth. If an implant does become infected, it can easily be removed to allow the body to heal. Usually, a new implant can be placed once the infection has resolved. I hope this helps!

Answer: Can the body reject chin implants? In our practice, it's extremely rare for a chin Implant to get infected. We do place patients on antibiotics to prevent it. For over 25 years, we have used Implantech brand of chin implants with an excellent success rate. For more information and many before-and-after chin implant examples, please see video below

Answer: Can Chin Implants Reject Dear Ali52, I prefer to use a submental approach which reduces the risk of infection and less chance of any nerve damage causing numbness.
