Chin Implant: Screws or None?

April 14, 2013
Asked By:AnonymousGirl1901 in Egypt, EG

Hello, I am considering getting a chin implant in the future. I don't like the idea of a screw in my bone (whether its safe or not its still not for me), however I have read that implants without one can move even after healing. If I choose one without screws will I be able to feel the edges of it or be able to "wiggle" it? Also, I have read that it can shift if you get hit in the face. And contradicting all this I have read that the bone "grows" onto the implant without screws. Is this true?
