The steps of the chin surgery procedure

Anesthesia: Chin aesthetics usually require general anesthesia for the patient.
Making the surgical incision
The patient agrees with his doctor on the place where the surgical incision is to be made for chin surgery. This incision is usually simple and discreet and recovers quickly and well when the doctor's instructions are adhered to. Sometimes the surgical incision is made from inside the mouth.
Operation procedure
The operation is done according to the patient's condition, so some implants are implanted, or fat is injected in the case of attempts to enlarge the chin. Some fat is removed, or the bones of the lower jaw are reshaped to obtain the ideal shape of the chin as desired by the patient. After that, the surgical incision is closed - the dressings are placed, and the patient is awakened - the bandages are removed to see the results.

After chin surgery

Patients can stay in the hospital for 1 to 3 days if the doctor deems it necessary. You should not eat food for the first 6 hours after the procedure. Minor symptoms such as mild swelling, skin redness, and pain in the jaw area may be seen for about a week. These effects will go away with time, and the pain can be relieved with medications prescribed by your doctor. After the operation, the patient must raise his head, even when sleeping and resting. This position must be maintained to avoid swelling and bleeding. The first week after the surgery, you should eat liquid food. If necessary, mouthwash can be done according to the doctor's recommendation. After this period, the transition to regular foods is carried out gradually.
Oral cleaning is of great importance. It is necessary for patients to thoroughly rinse their mouths after the procedure, especially after every meal. Biting plates specially designed for the patient should be used. These plates maintain the space between the lower and upper jaw and prevent the jaw from making involuntary movements. You should not do heavy sports for three months after the operation, but light sports can be practiced.
