During your chin implant procedure at Luna Clinic, your surgeon will make tiny incisions inside your mouth or beneath your chin.

The chin implant type selected during your pre-surgery consultation will be placed into a small pocket directly in front of the jaw bone by your surgeon. Depending upon a patient’s desired results, your surgeon will select a porous polyethylene chin implant (Medpor chin implant) with a size and shape that fits you well.

 The chin implants, which are made using non-reactive surgical materials, have different sizes and shapes. The chosen implant will be anchored to the bone with a screw. Do not worry about the stitches placed inside the mouth. They will dissolve in two weeks.

After a chin implant surgery, you will stay at the hospital for a night and be discharged the following day. You have to bring a family member or a friend to accompany you and assist you. Do not be alarmed by the swelling and bruising on the lower face and neck after the surgery – it’s expected. It all goes away by day seven or ten after the surgery.

Sutures placed inside the mouth during the surgery are all dissolvable, and any sutures beneath the chin will be removed after five or seven days. Doctors will suggest taking one week off work following a chin implant. But some patients are able to get back to work four or five days after the surgery.
