Answer: Swelling and Flying Typically you can fly in a day or two. I like to see my patients at day 5 to remove tape from the chin and then would say it is ok to follow up in a month. With an implant there is always an inherent risk of an infection so you would have to fly back if it happened. The swelling lasts for 10 days or so.

Answer: How long does chin swelling last after a chin implant? Most of the visible swelling has subsided after two weeks. It is certainly acceptable to fly an airplane as long as the healing process is going well. Always best to check with your surgeon about traveling After surgery. Full healing takes several months.

Answer: Chin Implant and Swelling With any surgery you will have some swelling. Using ice for 48 hours will greatly reduce this. You may notice swelling after a week or so, but others will not. It is usually safe to fly within a couple of days post op.
