Asked By:Damien 86 in Uk

Good day, I am 7 days away from getting Medpor jaw angle implants and a chin implant . Chin implant (submental) jaw angles (intra orally). My biggest concern is regarding infection . What are the rates of infection with this material and approach and are there any measures I can take personally to reduce the risk. I have quit smoking now for 2 months and have been absolutely alcohol free for over a month now to try and have the best shot at recovery. Any advice appreciated
