Most patients experience relatively little downtime after their chin augmentation procedures and can resume most activities within seven days following surgery. You may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which you can manage by taking pain medication or icing the area.
Swelling should subside approximately a month following surgery, and you’ll start noticing results. Your final outcome should appear roughly three months post-surgery.
It is essential to follow Dr. Hamwi’s care instructions to ensure safe healing and optimal results. These may include following a soft food or liquid diet after surgery, rinsing your mouth after meals, sleeping face up with your head elevated for one to two weeks, and no strenuous activity for approximately four weeks.
