How long after jaw surgery can I get chin filler? (photos)

Question

I had double jaw surgery but still have a minor set back chin and wanted to go do filler instead of genioplasty. How long after jaw surgery should I wait? It's been three months. I'm till somewhat numb in my chin and lower lip area

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

I encourage you to speak with your surgeon who performed the jaw surgery as she/he is most familiar with the details of your surgery and how you've been progressing through recovery.  If all is healing appropriately you likely will be able to have filler at any time.
