Other Important Information:  
Sometimes chin augmentation is performed in conjunction with other procedures, particularly cheek implants, lip augmentation, and rhinoplasty.

 
Questions to ask your doctor:  
  • Are the desired results I described realistic?
  • Where is the surgery performed? How long will the procedure take?
  • Am I good candidate for chin augmentation? Why or why not?
  • What kind of anesthesia is used?
  • How much does it cost?
  • What is your experience in performing this procedure? (How long has he/she performed this procedure, and how many he/she has performed in the past year?)
  • What percentage of patients have had significant complications? (The physician should disclose this information to you.)
  • Will you repeat or correct procedures if it does not meet agreed upon goals? And if the procedure must be repeated / corrected, will I be charged again? (The physician should provide you with his/her policy on this issue.)
  • May I see "before and after" photos of recent patients? The physician should provide many photos of recent patients.
  • May I have the names and contact information for several recent chin augmentation patients? (Follow up to get first-hand information on the procedure and the surgeon.)
  • Could I observe the exact procedure I am considering before I decide to have the surgery? (Either on videotape or ask to view one in real life.)
  • What should I expect post-operatively, in terms of soreness, what to watch for, medication, bathing, and level of activity?
  • Who will be assisting during the surgery? What are their qualifications? (Does the plastic surgeon perform the entire surgery?)
  • Have you ever had your malpractice insurance coverage denied, revoked, suspended?
  • Do you offer patient financing?
 
Be sure to:  
  • Tell your doctor about any allergies you have (to foods, drugs, environmental elements)
  • Tell your doctor about all medications you are taking (both prescription and non-prescription)
  • If the implant involves an incision inside the mouth, notify your surgeon if you smoke or if you have a history of dental or gum problems.
  • Carefully follow any instructions your surgeon gives you regarding eating and drinking, smoking, and vitamins.
  • Avoid aspirin and aspirin-containing medicines for two weeks prior to surgery.
  • Arrange for someone to drive you home after surgery.
