Introduction
Microgenia may be corrected through augmentation or osseous (sliding) genioplasty. Alloplastic implantation is often performed using solid silicone (Silastic) and high-density porous polyethylene (Medpor). Infection rates are exceedingly rare, with incidences less than 1% reported in the literature1,2. We describe a case of augmentation genioplasty complicated by chronic infection from an odontogenic source, leading to implant removal several years after the initial surgery.
