Chin Implant - real level of pain/discomfort seems different views from surgeons versus patients. What's realistic expectation?

Asked By:jdrealself in London, GB

I have committed chin implant in a 2 weeks. But am concerned with realistic level of pain, as surgeons feedbacks vs patients seem quite different. Surgeons say most pain is in first few days, easily manageable with pain killers, with swelling to go down first wk & recovery in couple mths. But patients from forums says pain can last several wks (some quite painful 1st week or more) and recovery is more than 2 mths, can be 6 mths. Appreciate opinion regarding pain, swelling & recovery expectation.
