I'm 4 weeks post-op and still have numbness in my lower lip and chin. My doctor went in under the chin (not through the mouth) and put in the largest impant size. I have tingling sensations in my lip and chin, but no real feeling yet. Will this ever get better?

Answer: Chin implant You should let your sugeon know about this. If after 60 days there is no improvement, removal of the implant might be considered. Your sugeon would be the best person to judge. Good luck,
