What is the recovery time for Genioplasty in Spain?

The recovery period for genioplasty typically spans 2 to 4 weeks. Patients are advised to:

  • Avoid strenuous activity for at least 2 weeks
  • Follow all post-operative care instructions
  • Attend regular follow-up appointments for monitoring

Most patients experience mild swelling and discomfort for the first few days. Post-operative discomfort is manageable with prescribed medications. Since the incisions are internal, there is no external scarring. Some recovery time is necessary, and patients are advised to follow their surgeon’s advice for optimum healing.

Can Genioplasty results be permanent?

Yes, genioplasty provides long-lasting results, with most patients enjoying their enhanced profiles for the rest of their lives.
