I had been wanting to get a chin reduction for years and of course when you are thinking about messing with your face there is a lot of apprehension and fear but I decided life is too short not to change something about yourself that you dont like. The reason I wanted to get something done... Read more

I had my first consult with a plastic surgeon when I was 19 years old. I am now 46 and just went for my second consult to address a weak chin. The first doctor told me they would need to break my jaw. I declined. This time Dr. Ceydeli recommended a large chin implant. He seems very nice and I... Read more

I just had genioplasty surgery done about 7 days ago (so there is still swelling) and I am upset because I feel like the difference isnt even noticeable... The doctor said he moved the bone out 4mm, but I'm starting to think that wasnt enough. Not sure if I should keep waiting for the swelling... Read more

3 weeks after surgery my smile was still quite crooked. My surgeon told me that I shouldn't worry and that my smile should return within 2 to 4 months. I got a second opinion from a different facial plastic surgeon and a third opinion from an MD off the internet. It still didn't make me stop... Read more

About three years ago I decided to take the plunge and get a little work done. My chin was always a little square for my liking and I wanted it to look more "feminine." (Never mind that in retrospect it looked fine as it was....). Anyway, I convinced my rather reluctant PS to give me some chin... Read more

I am almost six weeks post op from having a chin reduction and rhinoplasty ( including septoplasty and turbinectomy) with Dr Warwick Nettle. I just want to say that rhinoplasty for me was way more intrusive then I anticipated... And the chin reduction was actually pretty painful and I have a... Read more

I had a chin that jutted out of my face like a witch's chin. I've always been extremely self conscious about it. However, I never did it until now because of the horror stories I have read. It's over a day later and. Have full feeling in my chin and lip and not any bruising. He... Read more

My experience (7 weeks post op) has been, thus far very mixed. I had a chin implant inserted in 2000 for a short jaw and receding chin but remained unhappy with my profile, however face-on I was happy with my face. Last Summer a saw a specialist Maxillo-facial and oral surgeon who recommended a... Read more

Dr. Pryor removed a sebaceous cyst on my neck. He listened well, remembered all my concerns and responded thoroughly. The incision was precise so there was no bleeding after stitched up. Healed quickly with very faint scar after 10 days, which will disappear with more time. I'll refer my... Read more

I chose "chin surgery" from the list: I had both liposuction on my neck and a chin implant. I had a small chin and fat on my neck that gave the appearance of a double chin, which I didn't like. I'm not overweight but the fat deposit on my neck made me look heavier. Also my face... Read more

In July of 2009 I had reconstructive jaw surgery to correct my open bite. I was unable to close my mouth comfortably, grinded my teeth badly, snored badly, and had an overall unappealing look to my face due to my weak chin. I do not know the number of millimeters in regards to the repositioning... Read more

Hello, I've had both a chin augmentation & neck lipo procedure performed about 7 weeks ago. And i just felt the need to write this for all those that are worried about nerve damage to help put their mind at ease. By my 3rd week I had trouble speaking, numbness, soreness & was... Read more

I had a large chin, specifically chin pad (fleshy bit on chin tip) which dimpled and extended down to produce 'witchies' chin. A family trait I always disliked. In addition I always felt my nose and nostrils were too wide and high across the bridge and that my face was quite 'fleshy' all round... Read more

I totally regret my chin reduction. It looks worse than before, with a very elongated looking face, pointy chin. Horrible. I could cry every time I look in the mirror.I trusted my doctor because he had done my "nose-job" two years ago and it turned out to be good. This time I feel like... Read more

Hello. I just had a chin implant 3 weeks ago. Since surgery, I cant close my lips. When I do so, I feel my chin tight. Is this normal? How long will I be like this? I'm scared. Please help! Thanks. Read more

It was a bit uncomftable at first as it was my first surgery ever but i thought it was worth it as my face looks more masculin right now and i have a better profile.i certainty think that no one should have a chin that he doesnt like and go for a genioplsty because it has a very pleasing results.

My chin was large - a little too long and wide, and very "fleshy"/fatty. I had lipo on it to make it more defined and a little smaller. A year later I decided to have the bone shaved down a little to make it look even more refined (because it was looking kind of square after the... Read more

VERY disappointed with genioplasty (he was supposed to have been an oral/maxillary specialist) which moved the chin forward. I am petite and repeatedly requested only a mild/subtle forward movement-it appears that "one size is suppose to fit all". I ended up with a deviation of chin to... Read more
