This section of the forum is dedicated to discussions on enhancing or correcting the cheeks and chin through alloplastic implants, fat transfer, lifting, fillers, etc.
If you receive an extended anatomic style that wraps around the lower jawbone, my honest opinion is that type of implant is for a lifetime. Of course, you could have it get infected but that usually occurs early on. Also, erosion in general is something that is not seen clinically but almost everyone has a little bit that is visible on an x-ray.
