Things to note after chin augmentation surgery

Because the chin can modify the face shape, everyone in life will perform micro-plastic surgery on the chin to adjust the face shape and make the face look more refined. The most common chin augmentation surgery is chin augmentation, which is mainly performed on people with short faces. By raising the chin, you can make your face look like an oval face. However, you need to take good care of yourself after chin augmentation, otherwise the operation will fail. Today we will explain in detail what you should pay attention to after chin augmentation surgery.

1. Eat liquid food 6 hours after chin augmentation surgery, semi-liquid food 12 hours later, and gradually transition to a normal diet. You need to rinse your mouth with mouthwash before and after eating to keep your mouth clean. Do not eat irritating foods such as hot peppers, ginger, garlic, etc., and do not stay up late. You cannot eat irritating foods after having your chin augmented. Usually, irritating foods refer to meat products such as beef, mutton, rooster, shrimp, crab, scaleless fish, and spicy vegetables such as leek, coriander, fennel, onion, ginger, etc. Beef is a food that can cause allergies, so it should not be eaten after chin augmentation surgery.

2. You can wash your face normally after chin plastic surgery, but the wound should not be touched. It should be cleaned with special saline solution, and then some ointment should be applied to keep it clean and dry.

3. After the chin augmentation surgery, local pressure bandage and shaping are required. The patient is not allowed to loosen or remove the gauze without permission. There will be slight edema in the first two days after the surgery, which can be relieved by ice compresses.

4. Avoid touching your chin and nearby parts. It is important to adopt the correct posture when sleeping to avoid a crooked chin. 5. After chin augmentation surgery, you need to wear an elastic sleeve for shaping for 1-2 months. Be careful not to do facial massage in the first month. After a period of time after chin augmentation, you may feel your expression is a little stiff, and speaking and smiling may be a little uncomfortable. This is because the wound is still healing and the patient is not yet fully adapted to the prosthesis. Pay special attention to the precautions after chin augmentation, because only if you take good care of yourself after the operation can the operation be truly safe and successful.
