Is a Chin Implant Painful?

Most of our Cleveland patients experience mild discomfort, swelling, and tightness for the first few days following surgery. This pain is typically well-managed with medication and eases off naturally as the incision heals.

How Many Appointments Will I Need?

Chin implant patients in Cleveland will need a pre-operative consultation, surgery, and one or more follow-up appointments to monitor their healing and final results.

How Long Until I See Results?

Initial chin implant results are visible once the swelling subsides after a few weeks. Our patients report their final results typically appear after 2-3 months once all swelling has completely resolved.

Can I Combine a Chin Implant With Other Procedures?

Yes! Many of our patients combine chin implants with other plastic surgery procedures, such as rhinoplasty , neck liposuction , or facelift surgery, to enhance overall facial harmony. Discussing your overall aesthetic goals during your consultation is important so Dr. Gentile can recommend any combination procedures that could help you optimize your recovery time.

What Are the Risks Associated With a Chin Implant?

As with any major surgery, there are risks involved. These risks are rare but may include infection, implant shifting, or temporary numbness. Dr. Gentile uses the latest industry technology and advanced techniques to minimize these risks and ensure optimal outcomes.
