Procedure
First of all, the surgeon discusses with the patient regarding the changed
look of the face after the procedure. Some surgeons sometimes, follow
computer-imaging process to show the patient how his or her face will
appear after the surgery. All types of chin surgery including plastic
and cosmetic surgeries are generally performed keeping the patients under
an impact of intravenous anesthesia.
The surgeon begins the procedure of the surgery by making an incision
either underneath the chin or inside the mouth. The advantage of making
an inside mouth incision is to avoid having an external wound. A chin
surgery takes nearly thirty minutes.
There are different chin implants that are effective in efficacy. Silicone
and Gortex are two common chin implants that are done to reconstruct the
damaged chin with optimum result.
The type of chin implant depends on the anatomy of an individual’s
chin. The surgeon places an implant just in front of the mandible and
deep into the soft tissue of the chin to increase the projection and alter
the contour of the chin under treatment.
The place of incision is stitched up and the chin is covered with a sterile bandage for three to four days after the surgery. Overall improvement is visible six to seven weeks after the surgery.
Recovery
You will initially find it difficult to talk, smile and chew right after the surgery. You will feel discomfort due to pain and swelling in the incision area of the treated chin for a few days. Absolute recovery after the surgery depends on some factors like dental hygiene, intake of liquid food and restrained movement of the jaws and teeth. It will take you two or three weeks to recover.
