Cosmetic Procedures - Chin Advancement - After Surgery
A chin strap is usuaully used after surgery to control swelling and help the overlying tissues adapt to the implant or bone. Bruising is rarely seen but swelling is common. Sutures inside the mouth are dissolvable and do not need to be removed. Sutures in the skin under the chin are removed in one week.
Chin implants are extremely well tolerated and infection is very rare. When the chin bone is moved, there is usually a short period of lower lip numbness which completely resolves by one month after surgery.
