Abstract
Ten patients with microgenia had their chins augmented with HTR® polymer implants. The implants were inserted intraorally and fixed rigidly with a titanium screw. The postoperative course was uneventful except in one patient who had wound dehiscence and was resutured. This patient and all the others were clinically and radio-graphically stable at one year follow up.Keywords
