Question

Bianca Knoll, MD · Answer

thank you for your question. Onlay bone grafts have a high absorption rate over time. Interpostional bone grafts can be an option where it is anatomical feasibale. Chin surgery or orthognathic surgery and facial advancements might be another option for you as well. Some of theses surgeries can be quiet extensive. During your consultation your plastic surgeon will be able to discuss this with you. Best of luck

Barry L. Eppley, MD, DMD · Answer

Cranial bone grafts can be used for interpositional cheekbone osteotomies/onlay cheek grafts and as an onlay grafts to the jaw angles. They will not create the same effect as fillers or actual implants and the differences in their aesthetic outcomes would need to be clearly understood. Bone grafts as onlays tend to undergo some resorption. For the chin rather than an onlay graft it would seem more effective to do a sliding genioplasty which does not have the resorption issue of onlay bone grafting to the face.
