Chin implant screw fixation or suture fixation Dr. Philip Young of Bellevue: I would like I talk about the importance of screw fixation for chin implants. Screws help to keep the implant from moving. This is important to keep the augmentation stable and to more accurately predict what the final result will be. Without screw fixation your implant can move, and with that asymmetry and irregularities can happen. Also screws can keep you from getting more augmentation than you need. Fluid under the implant can create more augmentation and give you a larger chin than you want or a longer chin than you want. Screws can also keep infection from happening as well. Fluid under the implant can be nutrients to bacteria and can be a nidus for infection. Read more about chin implants on our chin implant web page.
