What do you recommend? Can a chin implant be knocked out of place? I will stop competing after all this but will still be hitting the mma gym daily. I also grind my teeth a lot and have trouble falling asleep. What my best option?

Answer: Chin implant candidate? Chin implants are placed for patients with a weak and recessive chin profile and desire an augmentation of the mandible. Severe trauma to the chin and disrupt the implant, so it might be best to wait until after year fighting days are over. Chin implants are manufactured in a large variety of sizes and shapes, are composed of Silastic, and are usually placed through a small incision underneath the chin as an outpatient surgical procedure. In our practice, we use implantech brand of chin implants with an excellent success rate for over 25 years. For many examples and more information, please see the link and the video below

Answer: MMA/Jiu Jitsu competitor. I am looking forward to a chin implant or jaw surgery? Hi, I have performed many Chin Augmentations using chin implants for over 30 years and have performed this procedure on military, law enforcement and professional fighters. From the photos, your chin is weak. A weak chin creates an imbalance making the nose appear larger, the mid face top heavy and the lower face look short that de-emphasizes the lips and allows early formation of a double chin. Chin augmentation using a chin implant will add projection to the chin creating harmony and balance to the lower face. I have found that placement of a silastic chin implant, through a small curved incision under the chin (also allows excess skin removal) to be very safe, quick, highly effective and far less invasive than a sliding genioplasty. I perform chin implant surgery in 30 minutes or less, often using a local anesthetic alone. In my opinion, you are a good candidate for chin implant surgery. The chin implant, if properly placed, should be secure at 1 month post-op at which time you could resume training and/or fighting.Hope this helps.
