What will I do before my surgery?
To avoid complications and reduce risk factors you need to stop smoking, drinking alcoholic beverages, taking hormonal pills, herbal supplements, and medicines (other than those that your doctor allows you continue), at least two weeks before your schedule. People with diseases need surgical clearance from their medical specialist.
Will there be obvious scars?
You could either have an inconspicuous scar under the chin or no visible scars at all, depending on whether an extra-oral or intra-oral surgical technique is employed.
What is the recovery time?
Pain and swelling will gradually diminish over 1-2 weeks for chin implant and up to 3 weeks in chin advancement surgery.
What will I expect my after surgery?
There will be a temporary limitation in movement of the mouth and lips. Your doctor will order dietary restrictions until your incisions heal. Discomfort may be more severe and prolonged with chin advancement than chin augmentation.
What are the risk and possible complication?
Some risks of surgery include bleeding, adverse response to anesthesia, infection, delayed healing, asymmetry, nerve injury, and need for revision surgery. When an implant is used, skin thinning could develop over the implant, or trauma to the chin could lead to implant displacement. Without these complications, the silicone implant can stay in place for your lifetime.
