Chin Implant: Under the Chin or Through the Mouth?

asfar as I have been able to find in the literature, the rates of infection, numbness, etc, are the same for either intraoral or under the chin approach.  I prefer the intraoral approach since the scar is hidden and have never had any significant problems with that approach.  I would address it with your surgeon and seewhat they are comfortable with.  Ultimately, it is up to you where you would like to have the scar, but in reality, the long term results shouldbe the same.  I hope this helps.

I am not sure about whether any study has shown increased nerve damage with one approach over the other but there are concerns about a higher infection rate with the intra oral approach. Injectable fillers are an option as Dr. Aldea has discussed.
