Jaw implants recovery. Is this normal?

Question

I have had jaw implants 6mm a month and a half ago and I still have noticeable inflammation around the cheeks and jaw, is that normal? how long should I wait for the inflammation to go?

Jonathan Kulbersh, MD · Answer

This is difficult to tell without before and after pictures. I recommend following up with your surgeon about your concerns. Swelling and inflammation can be typical and will last for several weeks. Hope this helps.

Faisal A. Quereshy, MD, FACS · Answer

We have patients that can vary in the length of time for swelling and inflammation to resolve; but typically between 1-3 months is the average (obviously its an average based on patients individual circumstances);  Not to worry you have time to heal. Hope all will work out well.
