Chin augmentation surgery is a method in which the chin is placed on the chin through the inside of the mouth after local anesthesia, and the position is determined and then completed. An obvious postoperative condition after chin augmentation surgery is local swelling. It usually takes 2 months after chin augmentation surgery to completely subside. Therefore, how long it takes for chin augmentation to remain undisplaced is about the same as the recovery period. If chin augmentation surgery If performed at the same time as other facial plastic surgeries, facial swelling may last up to 4 months. Thereafter, after chin augmentation surgery, the incidence of hematoma, rheumatoid arthritis, and damage to the facial nerve and parotid duct is extremely low. In order to shorten the recovery time of chin augmentation, patients should pay attention to the following precautions:
1. Within a few days after chin augmentation surgery, the surgical area will be swollen, and you will feel some discomfort when smiling and talking.
2. During the recovery period of chin augmentation, remember not to participate in sports that may shock or hit the face to avoid displacement of the chin augmentation prosthesis.
3. Pay attention to oral hygiene after chin augmentation surgery. The diet should be liquid, gradually excessive, and have certain restrictions to prevent inappropriate movements from moving the prosthesis position.
4. Chin augmentation recovery should be fixed with a fixed belt for 3 days to reduce swelling and discomfort. The intraoral sutures will be removed approximately 10 days after surgery.
5. Some patients’ intraoral sutures will fall off on their own.
The incisions for chin augmentation surgery are usually removed in about 5 days
