The : The recovery from a chin plant takes about one week. By this time, most of the swelling has resolved. The final result will take a few weeks though. Donald r. Nunn md atlanta plastic surgeon.

Quick Recovery: Generally a chin implant is a less invasive treatment with a minimal incision performed on the inside of the mouth or under the chin. In either case, the recovery is short and within 3-4 days you may return back to work. Sometimes, people have lower threshold for pain and may require a week to two but that is the exception not the rule.

Chin implant: You could go back after two days. But it is best to discuss this with your surgeon.
