Asked By:hest in Denmark, SC

Hello. I'm goining to get a chin implant(7 mm, silocone) in december. At the consultation my doctor told be me that the implant will naturally grow together with the bone, and a screw will therefor not be necessary. I just need to wear some tape for a week, he told me. I worry: is this the common procedure? I thougt a screw was necessary, and I didn't thougt you needed to wear tape for that long?
