Sliding genioplasty for vertical augmentation - is the bone is still able to grow back together?

JamesSimJul 25, 2022

In my opinion, extrusion of a chin implant is very, very uncommon. I have actually never seen it occur. You might want to have your surgeon examine you, just to make sure there is no issue with your implant.
