How safe and appropriate are PMMA implants (not fillers) for jaw augmentation?

July 5, 2015
Asked By:tfwiii in London, GB

A surgeon has recommended a custom PMMA implant to augment my jaw.  I have read some cautionary stories about PMMA injectables but have found very little about PMMA implants for this kind of use. Are PMMA implants considered to be safe and suitable for jaw augmentation? Would silicon or another material be a better choice?
