What Are the Options of Chin Augmentation Other Than Silicone?

lyra_cass
I had a silicon chin implant surgery 4 years ago when I was 18. However there'd been noticeable bone resorption and the result, which was ok during the first year after the procedure, has become exceedingly unsatisfactory. I had a doctor look at my recent X-ray picture of my profile, and I was told the bone under the implant had resorbed to 1/2 its original thickness. I'll take out the silicon and get a different sort of augmentation. What are the pro n cons of Medpor? Fat transfer? Cartilage?
