If chin implant placement is performed as a stand-alone procedure or in conjunction with rhinoplasty, we do not use any dressing for the chin. Commonly, I perform chin enhancement together with face and neck lifts. Then, a neck dressing is used to support the the neck under the chin.
I typically use a stretchy tape dressing over the area for a couple days to help keep down the swelling and prevent implant shifting. There is a non stick telfa dressing directly over the incision line and sutures. the sutures are removed 1 week after surgery.
The use of post-operative garments depends on the implant and the method of fixation. Some surgeons use very few garments while others may use tape and/or elastic garments for up to 72 hours.
Typically I place a stretchy foam tape dressing for two days. This is probably not necessary but I like the idea of having some pressure to minimize swelling in the area. The dressing is only on for two days.
In most cases I provide a chin velcro strap. I have use just taping in the early days of my practice. From MIAMI DR. Darryl J. Blinski
I typically use a small 1/2 inch elasto-plast tape dressing with a small telfa over the minimal incision. This is left on for two to three days and helps to reduce swelling and keeps the implant in position.

You are right. I never noticed that it had a 50% rating on this site. Typically, patients seem to be pleased wiht the surgery and it is a relatively straightforward procedure with minimal recovery time and a higher satisfaction rate consistent with other cosmetic procedures
At six weeks and two operations you still have swelling and scarring from surgery. It is likely that this will improve significantly as the scarring matures. Other causes such as nerve or muscle injury are possible but not likely. Wait for at least 3 months prior to any intervention.
Here's my rationale for advocating an external incision for chin implant surgery: The external incision under your chin heals nearly invisibly in everyone. There is no contamination of the implant from oral bacteria whan the external approach is used, and there is a lower likelihood of...
