This procedure enables your Los Angeles chin implants surgeon to reshape the chin with an implant placed through a small incision
inside the mouth (this surgery leaves no external scars). Many times
chin surgery is recommended to a patient having rhinoplasty in order
to achieve facial proportion, as it can help provide a harmonious
balance to your facial features. Besides balancing the face and
improving mouth posture, chin implants can also often improve jowls
and give a more masculine jaw line to men or a more elegant neck
and jaw line to a woman.
Typical Recovery Time after Chin Surgery in Los Angeles
Stitches inside the mouth are usually removed at the one-week point. Patients should rest in bed for the first day or two after surgery. In most cases our Los Angeles and Beverly Hills chin implants patients can be back at work within a week. It is important to avoid strenuous activities and regular exercise can be resumed in about two weeks. Patients should avoid contact sports or any activity that may result in the face being affected. For most of our LA and Beverly Hills chin implants patients, swelling subsides over a period of several days after chin surgery.
