Abstract

We describe our experiences with a new silicone bag-gel chin implant, developed in two phases over a 4-year period. Fifty patients received the Phase I implant, and such complications as internal and external soft tissue erosion, indentation, slippage, asymmetry, infection, andd late bone resorption (two cases) were seen. Subsequently 28 patients received the Phase II implant, and have been followed up to one year. So far, the only complication has been asymmetry in one case.
