How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Do Not Go for Intraoral Incision!
Hey guys,
If you decide to go through the intraoral method - incision through the mouth. Know that after the implant is placed inside and stitched, there will be a lump that you can feel. Basically, your mouth feels different. As if food is stuck there and you try to swish with water to get it out, but it doesn’t. The lump is there and you have to get used to it. I didn’t know this and I wouldn’t have gone with this method had I known my mouth would feel weird.
The other issue that I experienced with the intraoral method was that the implant shifted upwards, away from the bottom where it should have stayed. And the tape that the surgeon applied to put pressure on the implant to stay where it has to be, didn’t help, and now, it’s positioned in the middle of the chin, and it looks awkward.
The third issue with said method is that speaking, eating, yawning, are all harder because of the lump, and I believe less flexibility due to cut nerves to make way for the implant.
So if you guys want to go for a chin surgery, consider extraoral method - incision through the chin. Yes, there will be a slight scar, but how often can people see it? Not really. Also, I’ve read that malposition- implant shifting to another place, and infections, both occur less likely with this compared to the intraoral method.
Be warned if you proceed with the intraoral method!
