A member asked:

I had genioplasty about 4 weeks ago, how long till numbness and all swelling subsides and i have full mobility of chin? still looks hard

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Genioplasty Recovery: I would recommend discussion with your plastic surgeon. But typically numbs and swelling can take several weeks to subside. Sometimes numbness can take up to one year to resolve. Good Luck, Gaurav Bharti
