Chin Reduction Soft Tissue Combined with Sub Chin Lipo, Buccal Fat Pad Removal and Rhinoplasty - Excellent

Hi My surgeon is {edited}. He is based in Bondi and consults in Brisbane twice a month. Dr Zac operates through the Cosmetic Surgery Advisory Centre based in Hawthorne. Do a quick google to find Dr Zac's own website and also CSAC to find the advisory centre. They are moving to Kangaroo Point soon, however Hawthorne is still their current address. I am now 7 weeks post surgery and the results just get better and better. The chin form is looking fabulous and (apparently) there is still some swelling which is yet to reduce further. I still have some residual numbness at the incision area and movement in the lower chin area is still slightly restricted, but again it is improving slowly so no concern, just need to be patient. The nose is also just fabulous and balances the new chin perfectly. That is one thing to give special mention to and that is Dr Zacs artistic eye and his more conservative approach to too much change or reduction to ensure facial balance. Good luck with it. Kind regards M

Hi Meg2010, Please keep us updated on your progress. I'm particularly interested in your chin reduction. I need to get my chin reduced by a fairly large amount but would like to hear about other patients' experiences before taking the plunge. Thanks for giving us some feedback. There are so few chin reduction patients posting their experiences on the internet.

Hi Rudi Thanks for the email. I am now about 10 weeks post surgery and the results are just getting better and better. I am slowly gaining full mobility in the chin (no one else can notice, only me when I try talking with a full smile) and I still have some residual numbness which again is slow subsiding. From all the surgery I had, I must say that I love the chin the most as it was this which started the whole journey. There is still some very slight and uneven swelling, again no one could tell only me as I am inspecting it daily! The scar is right underneath the chin and I have difficulty in viewing it as it is well concealed. At this stage it is still purple, however this too is fading very rapidly (more rapidly than I expected) The only thing I am anxious for is regaining full mobility and feeling in the chin - most numbness is at and around the sight of the scar. I didn't have any loss of sensation or mobility in the lower lip which seems to be a more common complaint with other chin reduction candidates. I do have confidence that it will completely return as already I have had most of it correct itself, so I am confident that the nerves are repairing. I will need to get organised and post some photos. Just to remind you, I only had soft tissue reduction and not a full bone reduction procedure, so my results may not look too dramatic (to anyone else, but has mad a world of difference to me) Also, the issue I had was when I moved my mouth and smiled my chin would popple, so it is difficult to show the improvement through still photos. Overall, I am really happy with results, and would do it again 100 times over. Of course, everything i.e. your results and recovery are largely in the hands of your surgeon, choose wisely. Good luck Meg2010
