Can prosthetic chin lead to gingival atrophy?
Hello, the first thing I can be sure of is that you won't. Because the chin prosthesis is placed next to the edge of your own chin. And even if its incision is inside the mouth, it will not hurt the gums.

However, it should be noted that the prosthesis pad chin has a certain range of adaptation. It is necessary that your chin does not deviate from the lower jaw (that is, we often say that the face is crooked), but simply the chin is retracted or the chin is short. Otherwise, the prosthesis will further enlarge your mandibular deviation problem.

In fact, the silicone prosthesis used in plastic surgery will not cause harm to the human body. However, in some cases of prosthesis plastic failure that we occasionally see, such as swelling and hyperplasia of chin, or prosthesis peeling off the skin during rhinoplasty, most of them are caused by improper placement of prosthesis by surgeons. Or the sterilization operation in the hospital is not handled properly, which makes the prosthesis contaminated before being implanted in the body, so it will cause some subsequent adverse reactions.

Therefore, prosthetic plastic surgery itself is no problem, but you must choose a regular hospital!

I hope my answer can help you.
