How Safe Is The Chin Implant Removal Surgery?
I had a jaw osteotomy and genioplasty 25yrs ago. Have suffered numerous gum infections and unresolved dental issues(2 teeth have died) this year. Could there be a connection with the chin implant used in the genioplasty surgery and if so, how safe is removal surgery?
