How Long is Chin Implant Pain Normal?

As far as the pain after chin implant, it really depends on individual, but on average should subside after a week or so. You still might feel some sensitivity after that at the site of implantation, which is normal. It is important to take regularly recommended by your surgeon pain medication and follow his instructions to keep the incisions clean. Be alert; any redness and swelling might be a sign of an infection. In that case, contact your surgeon immediately. Pain could be a serious sign of malposition of implant and pinching on the nerve.

This gradually go away. Lasting pain is rare. In the meantime, try eating softer foods that minimize the tension in your jaw and mouth.

Chin implants are an important procedure performed to normalize facial proportions. Generally, the placement of chin implants is performed through a submental incision under anesthesia. After surgery, you may experience residual pain and discomfort associated with the surgery and also straining of the mentalis muscle. This will subside with time and acclimation of the muscle and chin implant.

This is not unusual and will likely settle over the next week.
You did not mention if you underwent neck liposuction at the same time but this is a similar combinatio of procedures to perform. It is not unusual to hurt more in the week after liposuction is performed due to the recovery of the nerves and sensations of "pins and needles" with hypersensitivity called dysesthesias which is similar to the painful way your leg wakes up after being asleep.
Take your tylenol or prescribed pain medication as recommended and follow your physician's instructions regarding activity limitations.
It is also not unusual around 2-3 weeks after surgery to experience tightness in the neck and jaw area from the scar tissue (good scar tissue) which is the result of liposuction to improve the neck contour.

The pain usually tends to subside in the first 2-3 weeks post op. It
really depends on the client however and if the incisions are kept
clean to minimize infection.

The pain tends to subside over the first two to three weeks after the surgery. The reason that the chin implant is painful is that it was placed on the bone underneath the periosteum. When implants are placed on the bone, the swelling, edema, and pain takes longer to heal and settle down. The pain usually disappears completely at approximately one month after the surgery.

 Hi, I have performed many facial shaping procedures, including Chin Augmentation with dermal fillers or silastic chin implants, for over 30 years.  if you are concerned, you should speak with your surgeon about this or any other aspect of your post op recovery.  Pain is highly variable based upon: degree of tissue undermining (far less when the implant is placed through a small incision under the chin versus through the mouth); the length of surgery (less time dissecting the tissue results in less bruising/swelling and discomfort) which is directly related and proportional to the degree of experience of the chin implant surgeon, patient variability in post op activity and of course variations in pain tolerance.  Our experience is that there is minimal discomfort for a day or so.  When the chin is weak, this creates an imbalance making the nose appear larger, the mid face top heavy, the lower face looks short, de-emphasizes the lips and allows early formation of a "double chin".  
 Proper placement of a silastic chin implant adds forward projection to the chin thereby creating harmony and balance to the lower face.  Using the same incision, liposuction can be performed to reduce the fat and further shape the neck.  Excess skin, from below the chin, can also be removed through the same incision.  
 I have found that placement of a silastic chin implant, through a small curved incision under the chin (also allows excess skin removal) to be very safe, quick, highly effective and far less invasive than a sliding genioplasty (requires extensive tissue dissection, bone cuts and placement of metal screws and plates to secure the cut segments of bone).  I perform chin implant surgery in 30 minutes or less, often using a local anesthetic alone.   There are numerous shapes and sizes of silastic chin implants, some of which are rather old shapes that do not yield the desired "natural" aesthetic results.  The Curvilinear shape is an example that is similar to the old "button" implants (had no wings or lateral tapering elements of the newer EAC design) that created a "pharaoh" shaped chin.  The EAC or extended anatomical chin implant style offers, in my experience and humble opinion, the most natural, aesthetic result when augmenting the chin.  Proper placement and the appropriate approach (placing the incision under the chin and not inside the mouth) are also key to obtaining the best aesthetic result.  I prefer placement of a  silastic chin implant through a small, curved incision under the chin (submental) instead of through the mouth for the following reasons:
*The submental approach is sterile while the intra-oral approach is not.
*The submental approach requires limited dissection as it is much closer to where the chin implant needs to be placed along the center (front) and lower most sections of the chin on each side (where the wings are placed).  The intra-oral approach by contrast requires dissection all the way down the entire section of the chin in order to reach the same areas for chin implant placement.  The intra-oral leads to several issues in my humble opinion.  The attachment of the chin muscle to the bone must be cut during the tissue dissection, the sensory nerves (mental) and motor nerves (marginal mandibular nerve) that move the muscles of the lips and mouth) are all in much greater jeopardy of injury because of the added dissection required. In my opinion and experience there is no need to secure a silastic chin implants with sutures and screws when the following conditions are met:
 * Select a silastic chin implant ( I prefer the EAC) that doesn't have too much projection (thickness) as this becomes a problem stabilizing the implant under the periosteum when the implant is too thick.
 * Place the implant through a small curved incision under the chin which allows direct access to the periosteum (under the mentalis muscle) while preserving the muscle attachments.  This prevents upward migration of the implant which can occur when the intra-oral approach is used that severs the muscle attachments.
 * While the center or body of the chin implant should be placed at a perpendicular angle the chin bone in order to provide the proper forward projection to the chin, the "wings" of the implant should be at a lower level and follow the inferior (bottom) edge of the jaw line on either side of the chin.  When properly dissected and placed, this will be below the mental nerve foramen and be just wide enough of a dissection to accommodate the tapering wing.  There isn't enough room in this technique to allow the wings to migrate upward and contact the mental nerve.  In contrast if the dissection, along the sides of the chin (jaw line) are performed too high...this will place the mental nerve in danger and if the side dissection is too wide, the wings will have a space within which to migrate upward.
 * We have all of our chin implant patients avoid touching and feeling their chin implant for 1 month post op.  We also ask that they sleep on a U-shaped airline pillow for the same time.
  Our experience when following the technique described above is that the silastic chin implant does not need to be secured with sutures or screws and does not move.  I have placed silastic chin implants in military, SWAT, LE, professional fighters, as well as actors and many regular people who are active.  In addition, I have had the opportunity on numerous occasions to replace silastic chin implants (placed by others) that had been screwed into the bone.  During the replacement it was evident that the metal screws pushed right through the soft silastic implant as it was tightened down on the hard chin bone.  Which makes perfect sense.  So in the long run, these fixation methods alone are no guarantee that the implant won't move.  Proper placement, proper implant pocket creation and meticulous closure of all the tissues layers is what is required in my humble opinion.
Hope this helps. 

The
recovery from chin implants is generally easy and relatively quick
compared to other surgeries; however, keep in mind that each person's
recovery is unique. What you describe sounds normal for at least the first week or two. Follow your surgeon's instructions closely, and if you are still concerned after a few weeks, you can consult her/him.
