What to do if the prosthetic chin grows

Because the chin occupies a large position on the human face, if a person has a good-looking chin, it can add a lot of points to his or her appearance. But not everyone has a good-looking chin, so some people go for plastic surgery to add fillers to their chin to make their face look pointier. But how to solve the problem of chin hyperplasia after the chin prosthesis is completed?

1. What to do if the chin grows after the prosthetic chin is removed?

The chin augmentation implant is removed after five years. If there is no infection or hyperplasia, it will take about three months to recover naturally and will be no larger than before. If hyperplasia occurs, it means that the postoperative care was not good and an infection occurred. Therefore, postoperative care is also very important.

2. Will there be any growth after chin augmentation with prosthesis?

The chin prosthesis is padded with subcutaneous peeling, so there will be some hyperplasia, but it will naturally subside after a period of time. The chin augmentation surgery can be recovered within a week, but there may be swelling of the soft structure, which will have no impact on study and work, so the recovery time of chin augmentation surgery will take about a month. You need to pay attention to your diet after chin augmentation surgery. You cannot eat hard food and should mainly eat liquid food to avoid affecting the effect.

3. What to do if the chin implant becomes infected?

Under normal circumstances, there will be no symptoms of infection, but if the surgical operation is not standardized and the instruments are not thoroughly disinfected, the probability of infection is very high. Be sure to choose a regular plastic surgery institution. Thorough and strict disinfection and mold removal are required before the operation. Antibiotics must be taken for 35 days after the operation to prevent infection. If infection occurs after chin augmentation surgery, the prosthesis needs to be removed. It must be removed in a formal manner to avoid worsening of the infection.

4. Postoperative care for chin augmentation

1. The sutures inside the chin augmentation surgery can be removed about ten days after the surgery, and the sutures under the chin can be removed about five days after the surgery.

2. The recovery time for chin augmentation is 5-7 days. The swelling will subside on the second day. The fixation belt should be worn for 3 days to reduce swelling and discomfort.

3. After the operation, you need to pay attention to oral hygiene, mainly using liquid food, so as to prevent excessive movement of the jaw from causing the prosthesis to move.

4. For a period of time after the operation, the facial expression will be stiff and there will be discomfort when speaking and smiling. This is because the wound is still recovering.

5. The face should not be vibrated or hit after the operation to avoid hitting the prosthesis and causing displacement.
