I’ve heard of adverse reactions to silicone, like people getting sick and only getting better once their implants were removed (these were testimonials from breast implant patients but still). So what is the safest and most reliable facial implant? Is there a way to stop the body from negatively reacting to the foreign object, I.e. in this case an implant?
Answer: Medpor So it does depend a little on what type of implant you are looking for. Aside from silicone, MEDPOR implants are commonly used, and are usually well tolerated by the body. (If you are looking for a chin implant, would recommend looking into a genioplasty first). If an implant does become an issue, it is usually a sign the body doesn't like it, and will most likely have to be removed. There is no proven way of telling how your body will react to the "foreign object" but for the most part, surgeons only use products that are well tolerated by people.

Answer: Facial implants I personally prefer solid silicone implants for the face but there are other FDA approved implant materials in the United States. The relative ease of placement and removal make silicone a good choice. I have never seen an adverse reaction with silicone in 30 years. If you are simply wanting to change your chin projection, you should consider a genioplasty and avoid any need for an implant.

Answer: Facial Implant Materials All facial implant materials that are commercially available are safe and their infections risks are similar. They are solid implant materials which should not the confused with a breast implant which is a gel material in a containment shell. That is a completely different implant type with its own unique risks.

Answer: Foreign bodies The majority of foreign bodies placed during surgery and never excepted by the body. Instead the body will form a thin membrane of scar tissue to seal off the substance called a capsule.
