How Can I Fix My Failed Chin Implant?
Q: Dr. Eppley, I need some advice from someone experienced with chin implants. I have had two failed surgeries in 7 months. Now I need a third one. I prefer if that is the last one.
I have been looking at Implantech for the third surgery. The one my norwegian doctor used is sebbin:
My face was “long enough” as it was. I didn’t want any downward projection of the chin implant. I wanted forward projection. As Dr Eppley will see from the CT scans. Its the opposite of what I am after. Now its a lot of downward projection. An not much forward. This is due to the wrong placement downward and also that it has be sinking down after surgery as well. I prefer not below my own original chin at all if that is possible. Which implant would be best for me is the quest here.
My surgeon for the first two surgeries would be very happy to join med on a call
A: As your scan clearly shows this is an implant placement problem not an implant style-size problem. It doesn’t matter what the chin implant is if it can not be placed properly.
I do not talk to surgeons to teach them how to handle their complications, that is not my responsibility nor what I am willing to do.
