How long does it take for the expanded chin to return to its natural appearance?

Due to genetic reasons, many women have shorter chins, and some even have retracted chins. In order to be more beautiful, girls will choose to go to a plastic surgery hospital to have their chins done to make their facial features look three-dimensional and stylish. However, after having their chins done, many girls found that their chins looked particularly unnatural, and some chins even became a little red and swollen due to the implants. Does this situation mean that my plastic surgery has failed? In fact, it takes time to recover after the expanded chin is done.

1. After a chin augmentation surgery with expanded polytetrafluoroethylene, the stitches are usually removed about a week after the surgery. Some people can return to normal work one week after the surgery, while others need 2-3 weeks to return to normal work.

2 Chin augmentation is mainly used to treat unclear jaws, unclear facial contours, lack of proper facial lines and beauty, which affects the coordination of the entire facial features. After the chin augmentation surgery, you must pay attention to oral hygiene. The diet should be gradually transitioned to liquid and have certain restrictions to prevent inappropriate exercise from causing the prosthesis to move. Remember not to participate in any sports that may cause vibration or impact to the face within a few weeks after the surgery.

3. After chin augmentation surgery, you need to wear a fixation band for about 3 days to reduce swelling and discomfort. The stitches in the mouth can be removed after about 10 days, or there may be no need to remove them. If the chin augmentation is done through an extraoral incision, the stitches will be removed after 5 days, and there will be a few days of postoperative care. The chin augmentation surgery area is swollen and you will feel some discomfort when smiling and talking. The recovery time for chin augmentation is 7 to 15 days, and you need at least 7 days of rest time. If you are not too busy at work, it is best to stay at home for about 15 days. It will take 3 to 6 months to fully recover.

4 While performing chin augmentation, the surgeon will select an appropriate prosthesis and implant it in front of the chin. Generally, an incision is made inside the mouth along the lower lip, but sometimes an incision is made under the chin and the implant is placed directly in front of the mandible. In order to achieve the most ideal and perfect effect of chin augmentation, post-chin augmentation care is very important. Generally, the chin needs to be fixed with tape after the operation to help us reduce swelling and discomfort. The sutures are removed 5-7 days after surgery. If there is any intraoral sutures, they will fall off on their own. Pay attention to maintaining a good mood, do more exercise, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and eat a low-salt, low-sugar, low-fat, and low-cholesterol diet.
