Is chin implant painful? Can you open your eyes while surgery is going on?

Pain is variable.  Generally patients do not complain of a lot of pain.  If it is combined with neck liposuction it might have a little more discomfort but it is still worth it.  Don't let pain scare you away - that is temporary.

Chin implants are typically performed under general anesthesia, and the patient will not feel anything during surgery. Pain following surgery is minimal, and pain medication will be prescribed for any discomfort the patient experiences. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck.

Chin augmentation with an implant can be performed under different types of anesthesia, but should not be very painful under any type.  The procedure can be done with general anesthesia, where you would be completely out or it can be done with IV sedation with local anesthesia, where you would be sleepy but not unconscious.  I typically perform the procedure with the IV sedation and find this works out fine for my patients and gives them a quicker recovery from the anesthesia.  Most patients just sleep through the procedure and do not open their eyes.
