Why do silicone chin implants cause bone erosion?

Asked By:modestie in Boston, Massachusetts

I see one doctor say micromovements due to not being secured by a screw cause the erosion. Is that true? Mine is not screwed in - should I revisit my surgeon and request that he place a screw to prevent bone erosion?
