hello I had upper and lower jaw surgery this wednesday as well as chin augmentation, I dunno if that's why you also have that bandage/tape around your chin too, but when did yours come off? did it come off by itself? did u wait until u saw your doctor again to take it off? cuse mine is driving me crazy.

My surgeon took it off the day after surgery. Why don't you just call your surgeon's office and ask them if you can take it off?

Hey does it hurt when you come out of surgery? I'm only 15 and a little scared.

I didn't have any pain really, was a bit uncomfortable though. They give you meds before you wake up.

While you are in the hospital, they are mostly given through an IV, then they will give you a prescription for liquid medications. They gave me codeine and Advil prescriptions.
