ive always wanted a chin implant, but im always afraid of it moving. i think about all the times my chin is exposed or under pressure. i play sports, i get hit in the face, and i also like sleeping on my face and perform oral sex. is any of those things going to make the impant move out of its place?

Answer: Chin Implant Questions Dear weakchin69, Chin augmentation is performed frequently in patients with active lifestyles and involvements in sports. As long as the chin implant is placed properly during the procedure then you should be fine without concern of shifting. There will be a recovery period after surgery that you will need to reduce your activities. Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.

Answer: Chin implant moving It is rare for a chin implant to become dislodged but strong direct trauma can do it. I had one case wherein a young woman struck her augmented chin against a windshield in an auto accident causing her chin implant to become mobile and need revision. The implant probably protected her against the jaw being fractured. if your sports are contact sports like soccer, boxing, wrestling or martial arts think about deferring most facial plastic surgery until you no longer do them. Sleeping and oral sex should not be a problem after chin augmentation.
