As anyone ever had a bone graft?

Question

i had one 10 weeks ago so i can have a dental implant, bone took from lower jaw (chin).

now i don't know if its my imgenation or if i was getting one before, but i'm sure ive got a slight bum chin coming on :/

i got recommed to one of the best surgeons in the area and he garenteed me noone would be able to tell i had bone removed from there (except maybe if i felt around the area).

but yeah any experiences with these, could it be still swelling or what, it doesn't look like theres any swelling there - just seems i have a slight dint there.

Answer 1

Dave,
The surgeon is correct. Nobody will be able to tell you had a graft. It's normal to feel swelling in this areaafter the surgery.
In a few months everyhing will even look normal on x-rays. Don't be alarmed. This swelling should vanish after 2 weeks.
