Background: The frequency of indwelling chin implants in patients that present for custom jawline implants occurs almost 30% of the time in my experience.

Once healed no long-term postoperative complications can usually occur from the bone. Also since it is done intraorally it has no visible scar. Like all operations, however, it has its own Read More…
