Have You Ever Had A Jaw Angle Implant Pop Off?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I had jaw implants about 5 years back and one of them ended up popping off when I yawned. I then got a hematoma shortly after in the middle of the night prior to the removal of it. So I’ve been very hesitant and afraid to have it redone as you can see. I do know that they were not custom made and the r one she picked which were the smallest size he had were still a little big on me so maybe that’s the cause? Either way, I have always disliked my lack of jaw definition and would like to have it redone but want to know if you’ve ever had one pop off on someone or end up with a hematoma after it popping off? 

A: I have never had or heard of such a complication occurring from jaw angle implant surgery. But that is undoubtably because I secure all my jaw angle implants with screws which would avoid such a postoperative problem.
