LAM FACIAL PLASTICS

Dear Dr Lam,

I was wondering the recovery process is like after getting a chin implant? Normally how long before a patient can go back to work?

Thankyou.

Hi,
I would say a week would be sufficient in most cases. If you have some bruising, I can typically eliminate that bruising when I see you on the 7th day to take out sutures. The laser can minimize the bruising in 24 to 48 hours following the treatment. Generally, there really is not a lot of bruising. If you want to take a look at someone who had a chin implant and neck lipocontouring a day out and a week out, please visit the video journeys section of my website. The easiest thing to do is to go to my media center and click on the video journeys section and find the video on chin implant. Hope that helps.
Best,
SML
