“Nobody told me it was Medpor.” That is how one man described learning his chin implant's material only when he wanted it out, so before a jaw implant, ask a plain question: who made it, what is it made of, and where is that written down? It matters because the material decides how an implant behaves years later: a porous implant lets tissue grow into it and is hard to remove, while smooth solid silicone has little ingrowth and can be revised. At Troell Cosmetic Surgery, Dr. Robert J. Troell, a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, places custom chin and jawline implants manufactured by Implantech, the company whose hands-on implant course he teaches, and the make, material and model of the implant are documented in the surgical record. His state medical license sits on the state board's public register, and each Diplomate certification is confirmable with the board that issued it. Our medicalSpecialty is facial plastic surgery, and Troell Cosmetic Surgery & Facial Plastic Clinic is a cosmetic and facial plastic surgery practice. What the material means for removal, and how a custom implant is designed, is in our custom jawline implants guide — tap Learn More to read it.
