Editing Chin augmentation (section)

==Potential risks and side effects==
The usual complications are relatively minor and include swelling, [[hematoma]] (blood pooling), weakness or numbness of the lower lip, which usually does not last long. Other, less common risks include infection, bony changes, displacement of the implant, and nerve damage.<ref>Costantino PD. FriedmanCD: Soft-tissue augmentation and replacement in the head and neck.

Chewing should be kept at a minimum immediately after this procedure, and patients are recommended to eat only soft food and drink for a time after the surgery.
