Abstract:
Using just a small number of alloplastic extended mandibular implants can fulfill more than 95% of the needs of the facial plastic surgeon in chin and prejowl augmentation to restore balance to a patient's jawline. Current chin implants are artistically designed to impart good form and fit and give significant improvement for a somewhat uncomplicated procedure.
