I searched the internet about getting a chin implant and all I seem to see are bad experiences and horror stories. Or, is it mostly just unhappy people that flock to those message boards?

Answer: Chin implant satisfaction One of the problems that affects chin implant surgery and can be associated with the satisfaction is the difficulty in planning. Most people feel that the degree of change they require is more substantial than one they would actually enjoy. 3D imaging and simulation can help to bridge this gap and make the outcome of surgery more predictably aligned with expectations. Insufficient correction is generally a source of moderate disappointment, whereas overcorrection can be scary to a lot of people also because they fear that their chin tissues would become overstretched and would not return to normal when the chain size is reduced.

Answer: Post op chin implant recovery Based on my experience, my patients recover in 7 days. I use a submental incision and use a silicone implant. I perform the majority under local anesthesia and oral sedation. There is tape that stays on in front of the chin and sutures under the chin for this period. You are not completely healed because there is some minor swelling that still needs to go away but you look good enough to resume work and go out.
