Chin Augmentation Material

Filed under: Chin/Cheek Augmentation — Tags: , , , — Dr. Edward D. Buckingham, M.D. @ 3:40 pm

Mike,

Thanks for your question regarding chin augmentation material.  We use a company called Impantech for our implants.  We usually us silicone implants.  Silicone is a polymer of siloxane.  It can be made into a liquid, gel, semi-solid or solid depending on how many molecules you link together.  In the case of chin implants it is a flexible solid, ie bendable but maintains its shape.  We also will us autologous fat to augment the chin in certain circumstances.  I hope you find this information helpful.  Please feel free to contact us with any further questions.
