Plain English
This study looks at a rare case of pain in the mental nerve that happened ten months after someone had chin surgery to add an implant. The patient didn't report any trauma initially, which makes this situation unique since similar cases haven't been documented before. Understanding this complication is important for doctors so they can properly inform patients about the risks of chin augmentation.
Who this helps: This helps patients considering chin surgery and their doctors.
