Ive always had a weak jawline and hated my side so hopefully this will help. I originally thought i needed rhinoplasty as well but Dr. Stoeckel helped me realize that it was because my weak chin. Which surprised me because most plastic surgeons would agree and encourage it to make more money. It really helped solidify my decision to go with Dr. Stoeckel. Ive also been having some trouble breathing and knew i could possible have a deviated septum, which Dr. Stoeckel confirmed...so may do that as well. So far a good experience.

So, just got back from my pre-op appointment. I think it went well. He showed me some pictures and showed me a few different implants. He asked me if i wanted to have an average chin or have a stronger jawline and I told him id rather it a little stronger as opposed to just have average/not very strong jawline...so he said hes going to make an operating room decision on whether he uses the large or extra large implant...I trust that he will use the one that makes me look the best. And I am going to be geting septoplasty from him as well.

BTW, cost is just for the chin implant.

The swelling has now pretty much gone away and I am happy with the results. I knid of wish my chin was a bit bigger but what can you do. When we were discussing implants and how big it should be we were trying to chose between the large and extra large. I originally wanted the extra large cause I wanted the bigger jawline etc. but he thought the large would look good. And honestly, as the surgery was getting closer and closer, I was kind of happy that he was doing the large instead of extra large because the extra large might have been too much and i wanted it to look natural so I would have probably would have awitched back to the large anywways if we agreed on the extra large...but now seeing the results, i think the extra large would have been the way to go....but hindsight is always 20/20 and even with the large i look much better so I am content with it. Only thing i didnt expect is the right side of my face is numb and may be that way permanetly....doesnt affect my smile and i dont really care but just thought id add that.

Sorry not the entire right side of my face...just...

Thank you so much for adding the pictures - it is so helpful to see what changes people get. Your chin looks really nice! It has definition, but definitely doesn't overwhelm the rest of your face. :)

Thank you so much for being so faithful with your postings! This is a great review. You mentioned you would add photos if anyone was interested - I'm definitely interested! I'm always amazed at what a difference a chin can make.

Please keep us posted on what goes on with the numbness. Hopefully as time passes the feeling in that little area will return.
