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?

Hi,
Thanks for posting the query,
A proper oral hygiene mainatinence is required after surgery, daily brushing regular mouth wash, i would suggest you to follow the post extraction instructions given to you and proper oral hygiene after surgery and you will be fine.

Take care!
