If I get a Chin Implant done, how long will it last? Will the Chin Implant need to ever be replaced, or will the results be permanent? I've also heard Sliding Genioplasty is another option? Can getting a Chin Implant done have just as good results as a Sliding Geniplasty?

Answer: Chin Implant A chin implant, like all facial implants, is a permanent implant. The implant itself will never degrade, break down or need to be replaced because of material failure. They are differences between a chin implant and a sliding genioplasty and the consideration of both have to be done on each inidividual patient's need and desired dimensional chin changes.

Answer: Chin implant versus sliding genioplasty A sliding genioplasty is performed as a stand-alone procedure by an oral surgeon under general anesthesia in a hospital setting with an overnight stay. It involves breaking the mandible, and setting in proper position with plates and screws. A sliding genioplasty is recommended when the teeth are significantly out of alignment. A chin implant procedure involves placement of a small Silastic chin implant through a half inch incision underneath the chin. The implant is permanent and will last forever. A chin implant will not affect the dentition of the teeth. For many examples of chin implants, please see the link and the video below
