MRI After Sliding Genioplasty

October 4, 2010
Asked By:yu241 in NY

Would it be safe to do an MRI on the body after a sliding genioplasty? Before MRI there be a form asking me to declare any metallic implants in the body. As there is a titanium screw to secure the chin/jaw bone together, can i choose not to tell the nurses or doctors about it?
