Question:

I’m nervous about putting any foreign object in my body and was wondering what exactly a chin implant is made of.

Answer:

Currently in the United States most implants are made of either solid silicon or Medpor. Both are very safe in regards to their composition, but carry the risks of displacement and infection requiring removal as all implants do.
