Can you eat as normal right after getting Post-Precision TX in the jaw/chin area?

Question

Can you eat as normal right after, the night of, next day etc after Precision TX of the chin/jaw area?

Deborah Marciano, DO · Answer

It depend on the type of anesthesia used for the procedure. Most of the time Precision Tx is done under local anesthesia and you should be able to eat soon after the procedure.

Thanks for your question. Yes you can eat soon after the Precision Tx- there is not a specific waiting time though it might feel strange while you are still numb to be chewing. The lidocaine wears off over the course of a couple hours. You would be wearing a supportive wrap to reduce swelling- so you just loosen that or remove it while eating and then put it back on. I hope that helps.

Patients may experience some light bruising and swelling and will be required to wear a compression garment to help with the healing process and support the area treated, however, they will be able to return to normal activities within a day or two. Yes! You absolutely can eat the same day.
