    This study evaluates a mentoplasty technique using silicone and acrylic implants over 16 years. Silicone implants showed long-term survival but also experienced extrusions and complications.

    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Biomaterials Science

    Background:

    • Mentoplasty is a surgical procedure to augment the chin.
    • Silicone and acrylic implants are commonly used in facial augmentation.
    • Long-term outcomes of these implants require extensive evaluation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the senior author's mentoplasty technique.
    • To assess the long-term survival, extrusion, and complications of inorganic silicone implants used in mentoplasty.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 16 years of mentoplasty cases.
    • Focus on patients who received inorganic silicone implants.
    • Documentation of implant survival, extrusion, and complications.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • The study encompassed 16 years of experience with mentoplasty.
    • Silicone implants demonstrated long-term survival.
    • Complications including extrusions were observed with silicone implants.

    Conclusions:

    • The mentoplasty technique using silicone and acrylic implants is viable.
    • Long-term use of silicone implants in mentoplasty presents challenges.
    • Further research is needed to mitigate complications associated with silicone implants.
