Sharp Nerve Pain After Chin Augmentation

January 5, 2009
Asked By:lildzl82 in Maryland

I had a Chin Augmentation 3 weeks ago, and I'm concerned because I have intermittent sharp nerve pain down near the base of my chin. I am really scared, and was wondering what I could do, and if it would ever go away. I can say I had significant swelling, which caused dehiscence, athough that has all healed now. I am not sure if that has anything to do with it. In the same token, within days post-op I touched the area inside my mouth with my tongue and an electrical shock went through my lip. However, if I touched my chin from the outside of my mouth, this does not occur. I appreciate any feedback.
