I've envied great chins since high school, and always thought that guys who had great jaw and chin lines had an edge. I even had girls dump me for my brother because he was cuter (with a strong chin of course). I've finally decided to go for it and get a chin implant. I'm really excited...and nervous about what people will say, but I can't wait. After seeing all the great results on here I think my confidence will get a big boost!

Hi, Dr. Chase and I sit down with a table full of implant choices. We eliminated them down until we agreed on the same one that we thought would achieve my goal. We went with the medium sized implant. I didn't want a presidential chin, jus a better profile. Surgery was quick and recovery was not bad. The intra oral incision site is pretty sore as is my whole chin and I have to wear the bandages in place for one week. He gave me good pain meds, so I think I'll live. Thanks!

It's been 5 days and here are a couple of shots. The tape is still on, dr. Chase asked me to leave it on for one week. Otherwise I LOVE the change toy profile. It's not drastic, but subtle and much better I think! I'll post more pics after the tape comes off.

You look great 1 day after surgery ! I only hope mine goes that well ! They did introral route? Wishing you a speedy recovery

yes, intra-oral. it's actually not too bad, just kinda tight, but that's expected. I'm still fairly swollen, but it's getting better every day.

Looks good bro. If you get time describe the experience and the size of the implant.

Good luck. I finally scheduled mine after 20 years of wanting one. My grandmother gave me my inheritance early and I knew it was the #1 thing on my list to do!

Good luck! Be sure to eat really healthy these last few days, drink lots of water and eat fresh pineapple (that's supposed to help with bruising). Also stock up on protein shakes for when you're recovering. Let us know how it goes!

I had a chin implant put in back in 1992 when I was 17! I am now 38. I am SO glad I did it! You are going to look fantastic when everything is complete!

Medium I think, intra-oral to avoid the scar. I've ready got enough of those from other stuff (non-elective) on me. Dr. Chase did spectacular work on my wife, I'm confident he'll do great with me.

Hey buddy! I'm sure everything will turnout fine! Did you decide on size, model and material of implant yet? Are you going sub mental or intra oral? Cheers

Another thing that kinda worries me is my long face, but I'm confident Dr. Chase will do an awesome job!

Good luck! When's the surgery? Please post postoperative pics too. FWIW, I've had cheek implants, rhinoplasty, and fat pads removed from under my eyes with no complications.

Thanks, will do.

Good luck with the surgery! I have my chin augment scheduled for the 2nd of April, im excited but also very nervous about how it will look afterwards.

Thanks, hope yours goes well, too. I'm excited, but kinda worried about side effects and recovery, too. There's some reviews I probably shouldn't have read. I think it will be worth it, though.

I remember having minimal swelling and not too much pain (and I am a WUSS when it comes to pain!). I also remember being very careful not to bump my chin for the possibility of moving it while it was still adhering to the muscle.
