Are Chin Implants a Good Idea?
Chin implants are used to mask a small chin, and many surgeons will use them to improve a patient’s appearance. They are a relatively simple fix to the problem of a small chin, but they only cover up the problem temporarily. With time, chin implants erode the already small bone of the chin that lie beneath them. The result is that as time goes by this bone becomes smaller and weaker. As the bone underneath the implant gets smaller and weaker, the implant itself moves backwards causing the return of a small appearing chin.
