Dr. Dunaway is a very experienced surgeon, and this showed during treatment. I had custom PEEK jaw implants last year (Dr. Dunaway is one of only a hanful offering this procedure) and Dr. Dunaways skill during surgery made, what is usually a very intense recovery period, very easy indeed. Next to no pain post surgery (stopped take pain meds after two days), swelling gone after 2 weeks, and no post-op infection...Back to work after cast was removed 5 days post surgery.
Implants were inserted via external approach, which I suggested, because of my concerns over potential infection if placed via intraoral incision. Small scars are hidden under jaw angle and are not noticeable...Also easily hidden with light stubble. Surgery went well with no problems, and the team Dr. Dunaway had eased any pre-surgery anxiety. As mentioned the easy recovery period made the whole process a breeze. I believe Dr. Dunaway offers a year of checkups & free consults for a certain period after surgery, which I have not used due to working overseas for the last 8 months...But which wasn't required anyway due to no problems arising.
Implant design around the jaw angles was maybe not as large as I wanted, but still an improvement...Especially are the chin area, in which a solid amount of width/projection has been achieved. PEEK implants also feel just like real bone, look completely natural and have no problems with shifting/movement, or tissue ingrowth (thus are simple to remove), so are worth the extra cost in comparison to Medpor and Silicone. If I do decide to get the jaw angle area redone then Dr. Dunaway is the only surgeon I would consider, due to his trustful nature, experience with facial procedures and surgical skill.

Hello how is your peek jaw implant

Hi there. I'm hoping you could let me know how much you paid for your peek implant. I am trying to compare the cost of PEEK vs a standard silicone. Hope you're doing ell with your new chin :)

I believe it is approx £2000 more. I will let you know when I’ve had my consultation.

How large are the external scars? Are they noticeable now when you are clean-shaven?

And how many millimeters were your projections for the implants at the posterior mandible + chin?

Thank you again,
