Would an infection after genioplasty affect the teeth?

Asked By:mikejp in Coffeyville, Kansas

If genioplasty gets infected(I know it's very unlikely), or plates or screws get infected, would it affect teeth near it? And how would this type of infection be treated? Just antibiotics would be enough most of the times?
