A member asked:
Genioplasty recovery time? when will pain subside, when will i be able to move my face and eat etc
A doctor has provided 1 answer
2-4 weeks: Reconvery from genioplasty is usually in the range of 2-4 weeks. Pain usually subsides after several days. Genioplasty is a well proven surgical correction of the chin, but other less invasive techniques are available that may require little to no recovery. Long lasting injectible fillers may be an easier and more cost effective form of treatment.
