Can Bone Cement Be Used As Cheek Implant?

Not in the USA!! It is called off label use and maybe even illegal. So be careful out there asking for things you want that may harm you. 

Regarding: "Can Bone Cement Be Used As Cheek Implant?
Recently i heard that a friend got cheek implants made of bone cement. Is bone cement a better material as cheek implants compared with other materials such as medpor, silicone, etc.?"

The BEST Implant would be one that does not get infected, the body readily takes up and our vessels penetrate to bring in infection fighting white cells and red cells to supply the scarring incorporation process, one that does not move, does not thin the underlying bone or the overlying skin, that can be customized to each face, that is cheap, that does not require removal from one part of the body creating donor areas complications and that is relatively cheap.

Such an implant does NOT exist. Methylmethacrylate, the bonding agent used to glue in joints, is mixed just before use and gives off a significant amount of heat. It can be molded for a few minutes before it becomes rock hard. It can be mixed with antibiotics which would then leach off and reduce the rate of infection of the glue but I do NOT think it is superior to Medpor implants which are porous, can be sized much more accurately and placed more accurately where they belong. I suspect it was used because it is significantly cheaper.

Good Luck.
