Can a Silicone Chin Implant Be Secured with Screws?

September 27, 2012
Asked By:sonny86

i have decided to have a chin implant. the issue for me is that i am a boxer, and realistically, i am not going to stop boxing afterwards so it would make sense for me to have my chin implant screwed into place. will this be ok? i have spoken to a plastic surgeon who specialises in facial surgery and he informed me that he only uses silicone implants and that its not possible to screw them in place. can someone elaborate on this, and what they would recommend? i'd prefer to not use medpor.
