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?
Answer: Chin Implant and Bone Erosion There isn't a significant risk of bone erosion. A chin implant can create a stronger profile and improve vertical length. When well placed by an expert, a chin implant can last for decades or a lifetime. You can choose a chin with will give you a better projection and smooth the jawline. Liposuction can further define the jawline. A consultation with a board-certified facial plastic surgeon is important; for the patient to be evaluated, their goals discussed, and a custom treatment plan decided upon. I hope this helps.

Answer: No reason to be terrified Your concern is a theoretical one that has no real clinical significance. With good surgical technique, the implant is placed with a layer of tissue between the implant and the bone. It’s a non-issue that you should not be concerned with in the least in making this decision. Best wishes.

Answer: A slight bone erosion after a chin implant is normal and is compensated oftentimes by a soft-tissue envelope around the implant A chin implant placed in the right position should not cause significant bone erosion. It is important to place the chin implant over the bottom portion along the mandibular cortex that is very thick that supports a chin implant. I remember a guy that came to me for a revision chin implant and he had the chin implant placed so high that it was eroding into his dental roots because the bone there is thin and does not tolerate an implant. The encapsulation that goes around the implant can somewhat compensate for the bone erosion if there should be any but obviously there cannot be a guarantee of a 1:1. You really should not need your chin implant ever removed so this should not be an issue. Looking at my patients over the years, they really maintain their position. That is why I use only silicone implants. Gore-Tex implants flatten over time and Med-Por can also do the same not to mention the infection risk and the impossibility of removing them. Hope this answer helps.

Answer: Chin Implant Bone Remodeling Some passive bone remodeling under/around a chin implant can occur but this is a benign process that has no adverse effects. The concept of 'bone erosion' implies some active inflammatory process that is destructive and is inappropriately used for this common phenomenon. Passive bone remodeling is normal around many implants throughout the body and should not be of concern in chin implants.

Answer: I want a chin implant, but I'm worried about bone erosion When removing old chin implants, we notice bone remodeling, not erosion. Bone is living tissue and remodels around an implant. This is only an incidental finding. The bone in the mandible in that location underneath the chin implant is usually approximately a half an inch thick, and we've never seen a real problem with bone erosion in 26 years performing chin implants.
