Chin Implant, Extremely Positive Experience

Had a chin implant, with excellent results.
Chose to do it under local anesthesia, just my preference.
Clinic appointments take around 2-4 weeks, shorter, if you are willing to come at short notice. I opted to go in for a chin implant and was explained the procedure, risk factors, and benefits.
Procedure: The hospital and Mr Townley’s team get in touch with you, with advice on the admission and things to do prior. Such as showering and traveling. Saw Mr Townley pre-op and later wheeled into the theatre. The procedure itself took less than an hour. Was done under local injections and hardly felt a thing. The only thing I can recollect was the grating sensation on my jaw. It’s painless but does remain with you for a while. So local anaesthetia may not be everyone's cup of tea.

Post-op: Nursing care was kind and helpful. Pain relief and paperwork were provided. Mr Townley met me before discharge and gave me an an advice sheet and creams to be used.
Day one was the most painful, more so as I traveled back by train. The dressing was kept for 1-2 days before I changed it. The use of ice and facial support helped. All the post-op info was provided, along with a direct number to the specialist nurse. She usually got back very quickly, even out of hours. Which was more sort of for reassurance, as things went smoothly.

As explained, the first week saw swelling and pain, with some bruising and having to take a
liquid diet. Later on, things got better, the wound looked fine, and began to more semi-solid food.
Should say by 7-10 days it all seemed to be going nicely, with the wound now looking healed. As per the instruction leaflet then started using the cream, as well as returned to work.
Week 2-4 you start seeing the real you, as by now most of the swelling had subsided
For the first time, I could see and feel the outline of my jaw.

Overall, was very impressed and extremely happy with the care provided and the results.
