I'm 12 day post op from chin implant and I'm getting scared because the right side of my chin and right side of my lower lip are still numb. I heard that for some ppl the numbness could be permanent. I don't mind if it's only a small area that is numb but right now half of my lower lip is numb! Is this normal at 12 days post op??

hi, I had one almost two months ago, along with some other work, and know what you're talking about - the numbness can really be annoying (left side for me). It's my understanding it can last three months or so. Don't worry - it's normal. My lip is finally almost completely fine now, and my chin isn't near as numb as it was, but all this regained feeling is relatively recent - the last week and a half. I see your post was over a week ago, I hope someone else was able to reassure you sooner than I! Good luck - wishing you a fast recovery!
