i guess youre right, implants are safer and more reliableIt's probably not worth it if you want a total jawline change but since you've asked I think it's Dr. Zarrinbal in Germany, Dr. Brusco and Dr. Triaca both in Switzerland. There may be more doing it but it's just the three names that come in to mind. I think Eppley does it too but he'd end up convincing you to get a jawline implant and rightfully so.
I get where you're coming from but you really gotta see it from what research and medical experience says.i guess youre right, implants are safer and more reliable
i wish i just didnt want "my own bone" lol

Yes an implant is a foreign object in your body and there's even the adaptation that takes place as Eppley stated on the video I linked.
But it's impossible to achieve any amount of versatility that an implant offers without one. You can work with your own bone only yes which is great if you only want some extra forward projection and vertical enhancement to the chin but in my experience it's not what most users here want. Even if you (not talking about you specifically) end up getting a chin wing, you'd most probably want a few touch ups here and there aka jaw implants to match the new dimensional changes from the osteotomy. So that potentially means more downtime and money which is something you don't really want. Plus, there's a much bigger risk for asymmetries and nerve damage from osteotomies.
Really the biggest risk of a custom implant is it ending up too big/small. But I think that's up to how good the communication between you and the surgeon is going to be during the designing process of the implant and of course to the surgeon's experience.
