Regular headaches after chin implant: I got a large chin implant about six weeks ago.

January 10, 2018
Asked By:Scottie01 in Scottsdale, AZ

I had a lot of swelling at first, but things seem to be healing nicely now. I still notice some tightness in my lower jaw and I have a slight headache almost daily. Is this from my chin implant and the jaw strain causing the headache and does it go away over time?
