How many days to pad your chin

Everyone's appearance is determined by nature, and it comes from the genes of their parents. Therefore, whether one's appearance is beautiful or not is not something that can be determined by the individual. However, with the advancement of medical science, many people choose to undergo plastic surgery when they are dissatisfied with their appearance, such as nose and chin augmentation. However, there is a recovery period after the operation. Let’s take a look at how many days it takes to recover from a chin augmentation surgery?

method

There are many ways to pad the chin, including injection chin pad (injection materials: hyaluronic acid injection, autologous fat injection), artificial prosthesis chin pad, chin osteotomy anterior chin pad, etc.!

As for which chin augmentation method is most effective, it varies from person to person. Hyaluronic acid chin padding is the simplest and safest method, but due to absorption problems, the effect of hyaluronic acid chin padding can only last for half a year; anterior osteotomy chin padding is suitable for people with severe chin retraction; relatively speaking, many plastic surgery experts still prefer prosthetic chin padding.

Material

1: Silicone prosthesis Silicone prosthesis is a common chin pad material, suitable for a variety of filling plastic surgery including chin plastic surgery. The manufacturing technology of silicone prosthesis is already very advanced. Silicone prosthesis used for chin plastic surgery is non-toxic and harmless, and is not highly rejected by the human body, so it can be used to raise the chin. Silicone prosthesis fixed by special techniques is not prone to infection or displacement. The material itself is easy to carve and shape, the internal micropores are conducive to the growth of fibrovascular tissue, and can be fixed to the bone surface with titanium nails.

2: The autologous cartilage used in autologous cartilage chin augmentation is generally derived from the rib cartilage, and the size of the cartilage here is suitable for chin augmentation surgery. The advantage of autologous cartilage is that it is the body's own tissue, has high affinity, no rejection, and good fixation after transplantation. However, autologous cartilage chin augmentation also has disadvantages, that is, the shape of the chin requires precise symmetry, but the cartilage is relatively brittle and difficult to shape; and some people back off when they hear that the rib cartilage must be taken from the body.

Precautions

Preoperative precautions

1. The applicant should be in good health, without organic lesions of important organs, such as heart disease, hepatitis, nephritis, pneumonia, etc.

2. No sources of oral infection, such as caries, periodontitis, oral ulcers, etc.

3. Women should avoid surgery during the menstrual period.

4. Routine blood and urine tests, chest X-rays, electrocardiograms and other routine health checks should also be performed before surgery.

5. Routinely take frontal and lateral facial photographs for postoperative comparison and efficacy assessment. If conditions permit, a three-dimensional head CT scan can be performed. Take a maxillary X-ray to understand the degree of development of the maxillary sinus. In some cases, a facial mold should be taken to accurately measure the amount of bone that needs to be removed.

6. Rinse your mouth with compound borax solution 3 days before surgery

, oral cleaning can be performed if necessary. If the incision is external, use 1:1000 Sanisol foam.

7. Stop smoking before surgery. Aspirin, birth control pills, and certain anti-inflammatory drugs can increase bleeding, so these drugs should be stopped some time before surgery.

Postoperative precautions

After hyaluronic acid padding the chin, there will be slight redness, swelling, itching, and the epidermis may feel granular depending on the individual's physical condition. This is a normal phenomenon. Do not press the injected area within one week after the injection, and moisturize it to promote the effect. Please avoid touching the injected area within 6 hours after hyaluronic acid padding the chin.

During this period, you can gently use water and soap to clean and lightly remove makeup. Before the initial swelling and redness disappear, please avoid extremely hot (sauna or sunbathing) or extremely cold places (such as swimming, etc.). Do not take aspirin, birth control pills or other similar drugs, which will increase the possibility of bruising or bleeding in the injection area.

Paying attention to postoperative care is the key to ensuring the effectiveness of hyaluronic acid chin padding. Women who have undergone surgery need to pay special attention to this. These small details will have a serious impact on the effectiveness of hyaluronic acid chin padding. So for safety reasons, you must strictly follow what the doctor tells you.

Postoperative Care

1. Generally, you must abstain from food after surgery. You cannot eat any irritating food, such as chili peppers, ginger, garlic, etc. You must not smoke or drink alcohol, and you must not stay up late. 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.

2: Experts explain what to do after chin plastic surgery. Two days after the surgery, you should remove the skin-colored tape by yourself, and be careful not to touch the chin and nearby areas. It is worth noting that you should adopt the correct posture when sleeping to avoid a crooked chin. Pay attention to what to do after chin plastic surgery. You need to be careful not to squeeze acne or pimples after the operation to prevent wound infection. Because the artificial nose bone needs about 2 to 3 months of fitting period, it is normal if you feel pressure or tightness.

3. Also, during the period from the end of the chin plastic surgery to the removal of the stitches, the wound must be kept clean. Do not do uncivilized actions like picking your nose when no one is around. If there is bleeding on the day of the chin plastic surgery, don't be nervous, as it is normal. Just apply ointment as instructed by the doctor. If the situation is serious, please contact the doctor in time.
