How long after rhinoplasty & otoplasty should I get jaw/chin implants?

Question

I had a rhinoplasty & otoplasty done together about 4 weeks ago, but I would also like to improve the lower third of my face by correcting my weak chin & jaw. I was therefore wondering how long I should wait before I can get jaw & chin implants/fillers. Thanks in advance for your feedback

Chin augmentation can be performed with rhinoplasty for a better facial balance. Your healing is well underway. You can have any of the procedures that you mentioned at any time.

Douglas J. Mackenzie, MD · Answer

If your recovery is going well from your previous surgery you should be able to do the chin implant anytime.  The anesthesiologist would need to know and be gentle during induction, avoiding pressure on your nose and ears.

Thank you for the question and you can go ahead at any time.  Many surgeons would have done the chin augmentation at the time of your rhinoplasty and otoplasty.Dr. Corbin

Dear valen90, Personally if you were my patient I would have performed the chin augmentation at the time of your rhinoplasty procedure to help balance your profile and overall facial aesthetics. As far as fillers go in the cheek area I  usually wait about four to  six weeks after rhinoplasty for the swelling to dissipate. If all is well with your surgery then you should be able to proceed with these procedures at anytime. Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.

As long as your revery from the previous surgery has been normal you can have the chin/jowl augmentation done anytime that is convenient.
