Will a full face motorcycle helmet which is tight against my face and jaw be a problem when I have a chin implant?

Question

I have a XL chin implant inserted a week ago and I am a professional bike rider. Will I be able to use a tight helmet which is pressing against my cheek and jaw without displacing the chin implant?

Michael I. Echavez, MD · Answer

I would recommend waiting at least 6 weeks before wearing your tight motorcycle helmet, as I would be concerned that it could put too much pressure on your recently placed chin implant.  You could check with your particular surgeon to see if their opinion is any different.

Majid Jamali, DMD · Answer

This is best answered by your surgeon, as they know exactly what procedure was performed.  In general after 6 weeks, it should be OK to wear your helmet.
