Chin implant symptoms can be swelling and numbness?

Chin implant: Yes, you can expect to have swelling of the chin and numbness of the skin of the chin and lower lip for a variable period of time after surgery to place a chin implant. Was it done inside the mouth or outside, under the chin? The swelling should be mostly gone after 2-3 weeks, while the numbness may last several months but should resolve completely in time.

Chin Implant: Expect some swelling and numbness for 1-2 weeks after a chin implant. As the swelling starts to decrease the feeling will also start to come back slowly. Usually the swelling resolves first. Please consult with your physician.
