Prior to the procedure, you will have a pre-operative history and physical exam performed to ensure that there are no health concerns prior to your procedure. You will be given instructions on what to do before, during, and after the day of surgery and you will be given prescriptions for medications that you will need to take after the procedure.
In general, you should avoid anything with aspirin, ibuprofen, or any other medication, such as Advil, Motrin, any blood thinners, some herbal supplements, etc. for 3-4 weeks prior to the procedure and 2 weeks after the procedure. This helps reduce the bleeding during the procedure and the degree of bruising that you will have after the surgery.
The recovery process after a chin implant can vary from patient to patient, but typically involves some common experiences. After the procedure, the patient may experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the chin and surrounding areas. This is normal and can last for several days to a few weeks, depending on the individual. Pain medication may be prescribed to manage any discomfort during this time. The patient will need to keep their head elevated and avoid any strenuous physical activity for a few days following the surgery.
The results of this procedure can vary depending on the patient's unique anatomy, facial structure, and the type of implant used. Generally, patients can expect a more defined and prominent chin that balances the facial features and improves overall facial harmony.

When choosing a surgeon to operate on any part, most experts would agree that experience is the most important factor to help maximize the chances of a good result. Many surgeons perform facial surgery and may even be board-certified to perform the procedure, but may not have had much training in the procedure. Ask your surgeon how many facial and neck procedures they performed in residency. There are many plastic surgery residency programs where the residents finish their training having performed only a few facial procedures. In addition, even if the surgeon received good facial plastics training, it may not be a central portion of their practice. For example, a plastic surgeon might perform many surgeries, but those surgeries might be mostly breast augmentation or liposuction, which are drastically different from facial plastic surgery. The bottom line is that you want to be sure your surgeon has the utmost training and experience in facial plastics. You should choose your facial plastic surgeon with the utmost care.
The consultation is the chance for you and your surgeon to meet and get to know each other. This relationship is important for several reasons.
