Can filler be put onto a silicone chin implant?

ilaamia
Years ago I got a silicone chin implant, this was not enough so I did lipofilling also. They took fat out of my legs and put it in the area of my chin. There is still loss of volume, so I would like to take chin fillers to see if this would fix the problem temporary. My surgeon says its okay to put fillers onto my chin cause of the lipofilling (fat of my own), but filler specialists say that its not possible cause I have a silicone chin implant and it can give infections. Who is right?
