I want a chin implant, but I'm also terrified of bone erosion. Would x-rays be an option to control the implant?

Asked By:Thhea in Los Angeles, California, USA

Im tired of having HA fillers so often to keep the result im looking for. I want a permanent solution to my short chin, and genioplasty is no option. But im terrified of getting bone loss as a result of an implant. What if i get bone erosion and have to get it removed, there would be nothing left of my (already before the implant) short chin. If i take x-rays of the chin every year would i be able to notice a possible bone erosion early? And get if removed before it makes a visible damage?
