How to Best Time Chin Implant Surgery?

Hi, I'd like to have a chin implant, but I'm confused about the timing. I'll start working as a news anchor at a TV channel in 3-4 months. I don't know how my chin will look like at that time.. I mean all those swellings... Do you think that if properly done, I'll be able to work without anyone noticing my implant? And do you think that I'm a good candidate for a chin implant or should I search for another option? Sorry if my English is bad, I'm not a native speaker of English. Thanks!

Best time for chin augmentation

It is certainly acceptable to undergo a chin implant at this point. The chin implant is placed through a small submental incision and you could be on-air within one month after surgery. No one should notice your chin implant if properly performed.
