This is driving me insane. I had a chin implant replaced back in August because it was too big (terino square 1 small). I was left with lower lip numbness and tightening that is driving me insane and lip looks bad, went to see the surgeon he said that it should go away with time and he let go that he filed my chin slightly (without my consent). Now my prominent side (right) is way smaller. I'm considering suing but I'm worried that he messed something up and I'm left with permanent nerve damage or something. Suggestions ?
Dear doctors. I hope you can help. I got my chin implant removed, after having it for one year. It was a 6mm silikon implant. As I had the implant removal, I had the chin Lipo at the same time . Now my chin looks so huge, nothing like before. Its also uneven (especially the contour of the chin) and have white lumps. 1was it bad to do chin Lipo with the implant removal ?2. how long is the swelling last (after how much weeks is the swelling to 90%done?) 3. is it possible my chin will look
Hi, I've had my chin implant for 8 years and now considering getting it removed. At least once a year, my chin will swell causing discomfortable and embarrassment. After I take a 10 day antibiotic , things get back to normal. 3 yrs ago, I had another plastic surgeon reopen the incisions in my mouth to do a thorough cleaning but still hasn't fixed the problem. What should I do? Thanks.
Hi, I am a male in my 20's who is active and lean and has some chin recession. I naturally have a hsquare-shaped chin, but am concerned that adding a chin implant may make it appear more rounded. I understand that there are square chin implants already (like the Terino), but they also have roundish corners. Does a chin implant lose or impact some of a male's natural chin squareness/horizontal width? Will post-op swelling also affect the chin contour for several months?
I had a chin implant and neck lipo 5 weeks ago. My chin looks slightly bolbous making it look and feel like it is too big. Could it still be slightly swollen? My lower lip still not entirely feeling back to 100% yet, and the lip looks slightly smaller. I have a little problem eating (the likes of pizza) and sometimes bite my lip if not careful. I can no longer see my bottom teeth but truth be told I feel like it has relaxed SOME. Tho perhaps it is wishful thinking? Is this all normal?
I had Lipo under my chin and a chin implant placed under my chin about 2 weeks and 5 days ago. After looking at photos in here I feel like my swelling should be less, my incision healed more, and Im scared of the dents in my chin. Can anyone give me some input? My next appointment with my PS isnt for another week plus a few days. Ive been following all the rules given by my PS. Im just at a loss if this is not going well and I should call my Dr sooner.
Ive heard that its normal (expected?) that a chin implant will settle 1mm to 2mm over time. Is this true and is this settling seperate from post-operative swelling? If settling is actually expected (with silastic implants for example), what is the aproxmate range of settling?
I noticed my chin implant seemed to be a bit higher about 8 weeks post op. I then started to notice some swelling around my jaw line and the side of my face. The implant looked great after surgery. After asking my boyfriend if he thought it looked different and if my face looked swollen he said yes. So I sent some pics to the doctor asking if it might be infected. He was not concerned because there was no jaw work done. He did prescribe antibiotics. I see my old chin below my implant now
I had chin implant surgery 3w ago, silicone w wings. Shape is perfect and symmetric. But I have a bump on the left side where the wing ends, I can feel and I can see it now that the swelling has subsided. The other side is perfect, I can't feel anything. I thought it was the implant but if I pull my skin or I pull up my face, I don't see it anymore. I went to see my surgeon last week and he said the implant is placed right, he said to give it time to heal. Please give me your opinion, thank you
