There is inherent risk with any type of activity. An individual’s decision to undergo a surgical procedure is based on risk versus potential benefit. While most patients do not experience these complications, you should discuss each of these with your surgeon to make sure you understand the risks, potential complications, and consequences of chin augmentation.
Bleeding – You might have problems bleeding during or after surgery, but it is not common. If bleeding occurs after the operation, emergency treatment may be needed to stop the bleeding, or a blood transfusion may be needed. Please do not take aspirin or anti-inflammatory medications for ten days prior to the surgery, as it increases the risk of bleeding. Over-the-counter “herbs” and dietary supplements can increase the risk of bleeding during surgery. Hypertension (high blood pressure) that is not well controlled medically can cause bleeding during or after surgery. Blood under the skin can pool, delaying healing and causing scars.
Infection – Infection after surgery is rare. If an infection occurs, it may be necessary to treat it, for example, with antibiotics.
Scarring – While good wound healing following a surgical procedure is expected, abnormal scars may form both within the skin and the deeper tissues. Scars can look unsightly and may be a different color than the surrounding skin. You may see marks from the stitches. Surgery may be required for other treatments to control scarring.
Damage to deeper structures – During surgery, deeper structures such as nerves, tear ducts, blood vessels, and muscles can be damaged. The likelihood of this depends on the type of chin augmentation procedure done. Damage to deeper structures can be temporary or permanent.
Unsatisfactory result – There is a possibility of an unsatisfactory result of chin surgery. Chin surgery may result in post-operative deformities that are visible or tactile and are unacceptable. You could be disappointed that your chin surgery didn’t turn out the way you wanted it to. If the result of chin surgery is not satisfactory, additional surgery may be needed.
Dislocation & Capsulation of Implant – It is possible, although uncommon, that you may have an issue with dislocation or capsulation of the implant after surgery. Should this occur, additional surgery or other treatments may be needed.
Numbness – Permanent numbness in the lower lip and chin may occur after chin augmentation. This is unpredictable. Reduced sensation (or loss of sensation in the skin) may remain in the lower lip and chin after chin surgery.
Asymmetry – The human face is normally asymmetrical. Chin procedures can have uneven results from side to side.
Chronic pain – It is very rare to have chronic pain after having chin surgery.
Skin disorders/skin cancer – Chin surgery is a surgical procedure to reshape the bony contour of the chin. Skin problems and skin cancer can happen without chin surgery.
Allergic reactions – Rare cases of local allergic reactions to tape, suture material, or topical preparations have been reported. More serious systemic reactions may be caused by drugs used during surgery and by prescription medicines. Additional treatment might be needed for allergic reactions.
Delayed healing – Wound separation or delayed healing of the wound can occur. Some areas of the face may not heal well and may take a long time to heal. Skin areas can die off. This may require frequent changes of dressing or further surgery to remove the tissue that has not healed.
Smokers have a higher risk of skin loss and wound healing complications.
Long-term effects – The chin may change appearance later on because of aging, sun exposure, or other factors not related to chin surgery. You may need more surgery or other treatments in the future to keep the results of a chin operation.
Surgical anaesthesia – There are risks with both local and general anaesthetics. All forms of surgical anesthesia or sedation have the potential for complications, injury, and even death.

Additional Advisories
Deep Venous Thrombosis, Cardiac and Pulmonary Complications: Surgery, especially long procedures, may be associated with the formation or increase of blood clots in the venous system. Pulmonary problems may occur secondarily to blood clots (pulmonary emboli), fat deposits (fat emboli), or partial collapse of the lungs following general anaesthesia. In some cases, pulmonary and fat emboli can be life-threatening or fatal. Air travel, inactivity, and other conditions can increase the incidence of blood clots traveling to the lungs, causing a major blood clot that can lead to death. If you have a history of blood clots or swollen legs, it is important to discuss this with your surgeon, as this may contribute to this condition. Even without symptoms, there is a risk of cardiac complications from surgery and anesthesia. Seek medical attention immediately if you experience shortness of breath, chest pain, or unusual heartbeats. If any of these complications were to happen, you might need to be hospitalized and treated further.
Smoking, Second-Hand Smoke Exposure, Nicotine Products (Patch, Gum, Nasal spray): Patients who smoke, use tobacco products, or nicotine products are at a greater risk for significant surgical complications such as skin dying, delay in healing, and additional scarring. Those exposed to secondhand smoke may also be at risk for similar complications due to nicotine exposure. There is also the possibility of a significant adverse effect of the anaesthesia and recovery from it, with coughing and possibly increased bleeding. This type of complication has a much lower risk in people not exposed to tobacco smoke or nicotine-containing products.
It’s important that you do not smoke at least six weeks before surgery and until your surgeon says it is safe to return, if desired.
Female Patients Information: Inform your surgeon if you are taking birth control pills, estrogen replacement, or if you suspect you might be pregnant. Even some medications interfere with the preventative effects of birth control pills, such as antibiotics that can cause pregnancy and conception.
Intimate Relations after Surgery: Surgery involves coagulation of blood vessels, and any increased activity may open these vessels, causing a bleed or hematoma. Intimate Relations After Surgery. Increased activity that makes your pulse or heart beat faster may cause increased bruising, swelling, and the need to return to surgery to control bleeding. The best thing to do is to avoid sex until your doctor says it’s OK.
Medications: Many adverse reactions are caused by taking over-the-counter, herbal, and/or prescription medications. And be sure to check with your surgeon about any potential drug interactions with medications you are already taking. Stop the medication immediately and call your surgeon for further advice should you have an adverse reaction. In case of a severe reaction, go to the nearest hospital immediately. If you are taking pain medicine as prescribed after surgery, be aware that it can affect your thinking. Avoid driving, operating complex equipment, making any important decisions, and drinking alcohol while taking these medications. If you are prescribed medication, be sure to take it exactly as directed.
