How long after chin augmentation can I eat?

You cannot eat for 7 days after chin augmentation because the wound caused by the prosthetic chin augmentation is inside the mouth. Eating before the wound has healed will cause bacterial infection. In addition, the chin needs to be wrapped with shaping gauze for one week after the chin augmentation surgery, which makes it inconvenient to open your mouth and chew. In order to shape the chin as soon as possible, it is better to reduce chewing activities as much as possible after the chin augmentation, and it is better not to chew rice.

After chin surgery, start eating liquid food

Generally, you can eat 7 days after chin augmentation. It is best to gradually transition from liquid food to semi-liquid food.

After the chin augmentation, you may want to try some thick rice soup, brown rice tea, steamed egg custard, egg drop soup and other liquid foods. After 3-7 days, you can eat some semi-liquid foods, such as lotus seed porridge, white rice porridge and so on.
