Chin and gonial angle implants vs genioplasty?

August 6, 2020
Asked By:john156 in UK

Hello, I am considering getting jaw surgery done on my lower jaw to improve my jaw line and make it appear more chiseled. I am not sure if the best option for my case would be custom made PEEK implants or genioplasty. Is there a possibility of bone resorption with PEEK implants? Does genioplasty make the chin appear more pointy? A few photos are attached. Thank you for your help John

How common is masseter dehiscence after jaw angle implant surgery?
Michael J. Yaremchuk, MD (license resigned) says:

If this operation is done correctly, the incidence should be low (not 0%). Things that I do to help avoid this include an intraoral incision which allows for a pocket to be created between the mandible and the pterygomasseteric sling rather than completely cutting the muscle. I hope this helps.
