What is the standard recovery time from cheek or chin enhancement surgery?
These surgeries are usually performed on an outpatient basis, allowing you to go home the same day. For one week, a limited diet is prescribed, after which patients may return to normal activities. The jaw is not wired, and only minimal dressings are used. Most patients return to work in 2-7 days. Bruising and swelling can last longer, and lip numbness may last 3-6 weeks.
