I just had a chin implant done 5 days ago.  The implant was made from an incision below my chin. Since my post op, Ive developed a 2 inch hard lump under my chin, which is tender. From my reviews on other sites, this seems to be more typical than not.  What I do find a bit perplexing is how many P/S, never bring this up or seem suprised by this occurance.  What should my expectations be in the swelling to go down and treatment such as cold or warm compresses?
Welcome to Chat Doctor .1. The symptoms seem to me like an infective etiology in post-operative site with collection within with tenderness in the area.2. In this case an antibiotic treatment would be helpful / if the lump is larger, a small incision and Chat Doctor. 3. Before that an ultrasound scan of the lump to evaluate the nature of the lump, its source and extensions.4.Meanwhile as a remedy I would recommend not to interfere the lesion like pressing, scratching as it will delay healing process, maintain local hygiene.5.
