How soon can I brush my teeth and eat after chin implant?

Question

I have chin inplant insertion inside. How long will i be able to brush my teeth or start eating/chewing?

Larry S. Nichter, MD, MS, FACS · Answer

If your implant was placed through an incision beneath your chin you can brush your teeth the same day., The sutures (if they are not self dissolving) will be removed after 5–10 days. If your chin augmentation was performed through the mouth, you will be on a liquid or soft-foods diet for a few days while your mucosal skin heals. You will rinse your mouth out regularly to keep the incision clean. Ask your surgeon but I allow for my patients the use a soft toothbrush careful to avoid the incision. . The sutures will dissolve on their own over the course of a few weeks. Once the skin heals you can attempt eating solid foods but I recommend you follow the directions given to you by your doctor so there are no problems. #chinimplant#chinimplantpostop
