Abstract
A method of chin augmentation employing a newer synthetic material (Proplast®)‡ is presented. The characteristics and biocompatibility of Proplast are detailed. Technical considerations and results of short term clinical trials in 20 patients are discussed. One implant necessitated removal secondary to trauma four months after surgery. All other implants including over 30 additional cases have been without incident.Keywords
