What to Expect During Chin Implant Surgery
The chin implant procedure is done on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia:
- An incision is made inside the lower lip or under the chin, and an implant is placed inside
- In an alternative method called sliding osteotomy, a portion of the chin bone is permanently moved forward
- After surgery, you will go home with a small pressure dressing over the chin
- Initial discomfort is easily controlled with oral medication
Swelling, tenderness and possible local numbness gradually subside within a month or two
