There are many people who misunderstand retruded chin, so I'm leaving a detailed review. I had surgery on the 3rd, and today marks exactly one week. My situation> I'm currently undergoing orthodontic treatment and am wearing a retainer only on the lower jaw. They told me not to wear the retainer for just one week because of the risk of bacterial infection, but I was worried my teeth would become crooked, so I disinfected it thoroughly and wore it well until today... Retruded chin surgery is possible even during orthodontic treatment. However... because you can't brush your teeth, people undergoing orthodontic treatment will probably find it very uncomfortable... It bothered me a lot too. I had about 9 mm of silicone inserted in my chin. Pain and inconveniences> From after surgery until now, there has not been a single time when it hurt. Not during surgery, not when I woke up from anesthesia, and not now at one week post-op... The only inconvenience is... because tape is applied, it's hard to open my mouth. Eating is very difficult. For about one or two days, you need to eat liquid food through a straw, and they say most people can eat meals after about 3 days, but because of my orthodontic treatment, I started chewing little by little from day 4. S i d e e f f e c t s> I was also very worried about side effects from retruded chin surgery, so I thought about it a lot, and I asked the director a huge number of questions. The side effects we usually know about are, in fact, often very exaggerated or distorted. 1. If an implant over 6 mm is inserted, does the bone erode???? You've probably heard a lot that implants are usually placed under 6-7 mm and that side effects occur above that. I had 9 mm inserted. I was also very worried, so I asked the director everything in detail. He said that when doing chin surgery, they don't insert the entire shape as-is; they cut and sculpt it to fit your own chin, so it's okay. And regarding talk about bone erosion, he said that over time silicone may press on the bone, but that isn't a problem, and people don't remove implants because of that kind of situation. 2. Can tooth sensitivity occur???? If you search, it says that if a retruded chin implant is placed incorrectly, teeth can feel sensitive. I asked about this too, and he said it can happen if a nerve is touched incorrectly. Compared with the forehead, the nerve branches around the mouth are larger, and if those are touched incorrectly, that phenomenon can occur, but he said the nerves recover over time. 3. The biggest side effect is inflammation!!!!!!!!! He said the most important thing to watch out for in retruded chin surgery is inflammation. If inflammation develops, the implant has to be removed... That's why he said to gargle well and be careful not to open the mouth too wide, and that the biggest side effect to watch out for in retruded chin surgery is inflammation. ->Because I kept asking a ton of detailed questions, he said many people worry in advance about things they don't need to worry about because of the internet.. He said if I have questions, he'll tell me everything, so instead of looking online, I should come to the clinic often and he'll explain it.... Hearing that made me feel at least a little relieved, and I just hoped the shape would turn out pretty...^^ I hope other people who have had retruded chin surgery don't worry too much either.
