A member asked:
Does a brace or compression strap need to be worn after chin augmentation? what sort of support or dressing is worn after chin augmentation, and for how long?

As : As a rule, no. However, this can vary with different types of surgical intervention and if you have neck liposuction at the same time, you may need to wear the compression device.

A : A compression dressing doesn't necessarily need to be used after an isolated chin augmentation. This may vary depending on the surgeon, though. A compression dressing is more commonly used after neck liposuction, neck lift or facelift surgery.
