If the incision is made in the fold beneath your chin, no special diet is required. If the incision to place your chin implant is made inside your mouth, you will need to be on a liquid diet for the first few days after surgery. Swelling and bruising can occur but will subside within 5 to 7 days. You might feel tightness for the first few days. Smiling and talking may also cause some discomfort. Most patients are able to return to work or social activities a week after surgery. Exercise and other strenuous activities should be avoided for a few weeks. Following Dr. Romanelli's instructions will speed your recovery and enhance your results.

Chin implant results tend to be beautiful and are permanent. Once your final results are achieved, your facial features will look proportional and balanced.

Across the country and here on Long Island, chin implant surgery is one of the secret gems of facial plastic surgery. Chin implants create dramatic results without drawing attention to the surgery or augmentation. To find out if a chin implant will help you achieve your desired appearance, call Romanelli Cosmetic Surgery located in Huntington, New York at (631) 424-3600 today.
