- For the first 5 days following the Mentoplasty the patient should only eat liquid foods and use a mouth wash.
- Avoid smoking and drinking alcohol both of which interfere with the wound recovery.
- In case of any concerns it is recommended that you consult the surgeon directly rather than consulting other people who may have had chin surgery.
- The majority of patients can return to normal daily activities as of the 2nd day following chin surgery.
- Recovery does not happen immediately and the exact recovery period varies from patient-to-patient.
