Chin Implant after Mandibular Advancement?

F
Forceful33879Jun 1, 2023

I was curious if there are any risks to getting a chin implant after having mandibular advancement surgery? For context, I had mandibular advancement surgery around 10 years ago and I’m looking to get a chin implant but concerned about the stress on my jaw and chin. I’m also slightly concerned about bone erosion with the implant. Does this happen with all chin implants?

This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. Buccal fat pad gives slimming not symmetry. Masseter botox will make you slimmer and make the jawline more loose. Fillers help give shaping and contouring. If you want perfect or close to perfect symmetry...
