Asked By:Seraffe in Oklahoma City, OK

Had jaw reduction.The surgeon took off about 4 millimeters! of my chin,as examined on CT scan. Now my excess chin skin dips under my chin bone.Now 2 dimples on chin. Everything about chin feels out of place(v.uncomfortable).Thinking of having chin implant to put my chin back to where it was.Will have it tailor custom made, according to my CT scan,wish to have my old chin back.What's probably a safer chin implant material?Silastic silicone, acrylic PMMA,what's good choice?What's not so safe?
