I had a Chin Augmentation 3 weeks ago, and I'm concerned because I have intermittent sharp nerve pain down near the base of my chin. I am really scared, and was wondering what I could do, and if it would ever go away. I can say I had significant swelling, which caused dehiscence, athough that has all healed now. I am not sure if that has anything to do with it. In the same token, within days post-op I touched the area inside my mouth with my tongue and an electrical shock went through my lip. However, if I touched my chin from the outside of my mouth, this does not occur. I appreciate any feedback.
I would suggest that you return to your original surgeon and express your concerns. Most patients in this time frame are excercising and have returned to normal activity without the symptoms you describe. Without the benefit of actually examining you, there is little else I can say.
