Chin Implants During GLP-1: 5 Consultation Questions

Considering a chin implant during GLP-1 treatment? Bring these questions to a consultation before choosing surgery.

1. What change would the implant make?

ASPS describes chin implants as a way to augment an underprojected chin. Ask the surgeon to identify the proposed change in your profile and discuss alternatives. [1]

2. Where would the incision go?

An implant is placed directly on the bone, through an incision inside the mouth or beneath the chin. Ask which approach is proposed and how you would care for it. [1]

3. Could the implant move?

ASPS lists implant displacement and thick scar tissue around the implant among possible complications. Ask how these would be assessed and whether another operation might be needed. [2]

4. What other risks should I discuss?

Possible risks include infection, asymmetry, persistent pain and altered skin sensation. Ask which symptoms require a call and who provides follow-up care. [2]

5. Who sets my medication instructions?

For general anesthesia or deep sedation, disclose GLP-1 use. Most patients can continue medication; agree on preparation with the anesthesiologist, surgeon and prescriber. [3]
