Avoiding Bone Resorption Under Plastic Chin Implants

Soft-Tissue Response Rate to Chin Skeletal Advancement in Patients with Lower Facial Burn Scar

“…There is some skeletal remodeling, and an important cause of this remodeling, bone resorption, 13 occurs mainly at the sharp superior border of the caudal segment of the chin and also at the anterior surface of the mandible above the osteotomy line at which the locking plate is fixed. 14 However, as discussed in the literature, bone resorption is not associated with significant displacement of the soft tissues.…”

Sliding Genioplasty for Correction of Chin Abnormalities

“…Morbidity associated with alloplastic mentoplasty include bone resorption, infection, extrusion, dehiscence, inappropriately sized implant, asymmetry, displacement, capsular contraction, lower lip retraction, and chin ptosis. 7,8 Bone resorption has been blamed on many factors, from subperiosteal insertion to tension caused by the overlying skin, subcutaneous tissue, or musculature. Pearson and Sherris, 9 however, showed no significant difference between supraperiosteal and subperiosteal placement of the Silastic implants in a study on adult hounds.…”

Proplast chin augmentation

“…Extensive dissection is avoided to minimize the possibility of implant shift in the crucial early stages. 7 Meticulous hemostasis is carried out with electrocautery.…”
