What supports the structure of our body is bone.

It is originally a hard tissue, but

if it is continuously under pressure,

bone resorption occurs.

Bone resorption means the bone becomes hollowed out.

This can happen not only with side effects from forehead implants

and chin implants,

but also with substances that are thought not to be hard,

such as filler.

First, let’s look at bone erosion caused by implants.

Forehead bone where bone resorption occurred due to a forehead implant

1. This is the forehead bone where bone resorption occurred due to a forehead implant.

When the implant is in place, the line of bone resorption is hidden,

so even if it looks fine cosmetically, if side effects occur,

such as fluid accumulation, blood accumulation, or inflammation caused by the implant,

or if only the border of the forehead implant becomes visible

and you remove only the silicone or Gore-Tex,

?

Once the bone resorption caused by the implant is exposed,

it may become noticeable.

There may also be a sense of loss due to the loss of volume.

Therefore, when removing a forehead implant due to side effects,

if you want natural forehead volume and your eyes feel heavy  forehead lift

if you only want volume restored

 after removal, perform forehead fat grafting

Volume after forehead implant removal

The forehead volume created by a forehead lift

is an additional result of the forehead lift,

so you can think of it as a two-for-one effect^^ The main goal is solving the heaviness of the eyes or wrinkles rather than volume.

In the article on forehead/eyebrow endoscopy,  "An endoscopic forehead lift that removes wrinkles and creates natural forehead volume,"

you can find a more detailed explanation.

2. This is the chin bone where bone resorption occurred due to a chin implant.

As in the CT images attached above,

the depressed area is marked with a fluorescent purple arrow.

If a chin implant is removed because it protrudes through the skin

or because of other side effects,

then as the volume of the chin disappears,

a new problem of a receding chin appears.

Therefore, when removing a chin implant due to side effects,

if you are worried about a receding chin  chin advancement surgery

if you only want simple volume restoration

 after removal, perform chin fat grafting

You can find a more detailed explanation in the facial contouring surgery  chin surgery section.

As long as the substance that causes bone resorption does not disappear,

the bone remains under constant pressure,

and as a result, bone resorption continues.

Many people choose filler treatment because they are afraid of bone surgery.

However, filler treatment may not fully resolve the feeling of a receding chin,

and may instead make the area look dull,

or, conversely, make the chin tip too sharp.

In such cases, dissatisfaction with the shape created by filler often occurs.

In addition, there is a limit to the volume that can be improved with filler,

and with frequent treatments,

instead of volume moving forward in the desired direction,

it often spreads sideways in an undesired way.

It can also be bothersome to receive treatments regularly,

and the mention of bone resorption can be concerning.

What is the solution?

It is the same as the case described above when removing an implant due to side effects.

The bone that is being pressed down

 dissolve the filler and advance the chin tip.

Compared with when the chin was given volume with filler,

the front and side views became more natural.

Because the filler that was pressing on the bone was also dissolved,

there is no longer any concern about bone resorption side effects.

Using filler to supplement the volume of the chin is a simple

and good way to improve the profile.

However, if filler continues to be added,

the bone may recede and the chin tip may feel dull.

This was a time to resolve concerns about bone resorption

caused by implants or filler,

and to regain natural chin volume through chin advancement surgery.
