My 16-year-old son is interested in getting a nose job and a chin implant. Since he is on his high shcool wrestling team, is it possible for the chin implant to be knocked out of alignment after the full recovery?
Answer: No
Once healed, chin implants are solid and heal directly against the bone. I believe that you would have to sustain a blow directly to the chin so hard that it would be more likely that you would fracture your jaw, than move the implant.
Chin implants are one of my favorite operations and combined with a rhinoplasty the procedures can significantly enhance one's appearance and self confidence. The chin is an important part of the face as witnessed by the many phrases we have in our society like: "keep your chin up", "he took it on the chin", "by the hair of your chiny chin chin" etc.
A recent study of the CEO's of Fortune 500 companies showed that not only are CEO's taller than the average poplulation, but they also tend to have a stronger chin than the general population. With the exception of people who started their own company, as opposed to being hired for the job. Such as Bill Gates, who has a soft chin.
Good luck.
Be sure to discuss your concerns with your surgeon, and they will advise you accordingly.

Answer: Chin Implant Shifting
Yes, chin implants can shift if trauma occurs early in the recovery process. As each week passes, it becomes much more difficult for this to occur. Ultimately, the chin implant should become integrated with the body so that shifting can become more difficult.

Answer: Not after proper placement and full healing It is impossible for the chin implant to be knocked out of alignment if it has been placed in the proper anatomical position. The implant is placed underneath the skin and the muscle and the periosteum and is placed directly over the bone. And after a one-month healing process it is solid and cannot be knocked out of place.

Answer: Chin implants can shift with enough force Eric, In general, chin implants are very stable. However, early after surgery, before the body has fully incorporated the implant, it is possible for it to shift. Even over time, if there is significant force, it would be possible for it to shift. My advice would be to hold off on the surgery until your son is not participating is such activities.
