How long until I can smile correctly after chin implant?

Question

Hello. I had a chin implant done yesterday I was wondering how long until I can smile correctly. I start school in 2 weeks and I was wondering by then if my chin will feel a lot better and I'll be able to chew by then. Thanks!

Tpically the muscles surrounding the mouth will function more normally in a couple of weeks. You will not feel completely normal until 6-8 weeks after the procedure.Wishing you all the best,Talmage Raine MD FACS

While you may still feel as though your smile is off in 2 weeks, no one will notice.  The muscles need to soften and relax following chin implant surgery.  In 2 weeks, you will probably feel normal, but slight swelling may continue for a couple of months.
