A member asked:

How long does it take for swelling to subside after a chin implant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Short time: Most of the swelling is down within a week or two after a chin implant. There may be a small amount of swelling which persists longer, especially under the chin. 90% of the patients look pretty good within a week!
