Male Med Student: Want to Improve my Looks - Europe

DrMar, since I am looking for a vertical projection implant like yours can you suggest where you found your options! or did your doctor suggested the one for you ?

Hey. Good eye on the movement of the dimple! No, it doesn't bother me at all. I'm really happy with how everything has turned out. About the implant then.. I chose, with advice from my surgeon, a large extended implant from eurosilicone. They are a bit simpler, but easier to place in a lower position since the don't enclose the tip of the mandible in the same manner. You can check out the different product catalogues and compare different measurements and shapes of the implants. I know only of implant tech that make those square looking implants. But what I understand is that all implants with extended arms will give you a more square/wider look. And I also read that those terrino implants often can look a bit unnatural, which is something I really wanted to avoid. Hmm, I have not read much about the ones with dimples. But what I know is that dimples are not much affected by the mandible/implant, instead it is the soft tissue above that gives the dimple. Hope my answer was helpful. And best of luck!!

Hey RH709! Thanks, buddy. Yeah, I was going for a subtle change so I am really happy. You know what, i'll tell you something really interesting. I was checking implants for different brands such as Implant Tech, Polytech and Eurosilicone. I realised that the height of the implants from Eurosilicone was much lower than the others. Also the shape of it made it easier to position it a bit lower giving me less anterior projection but a bit of vertical projection. According to the size it is considered large, since it can give 8 mm of projection, but the height is about 9 mm while the other brands have a height of 14 mm. So even though it is a "large" implant its volume wise much smaller. Any thought about how you want to do your? Size? Material? Route of incision?

Wow, you do not look like it was 8mm of projection. That is actually quite a bit. Your doctor did very well. I am about to schedule a consult with Dr. Mabrie who is on this site and seems to do fantastic work. He is only a 3 hour drive from be and some think he is one of the best. My guess is that I need roughly 8 to 10mm of projection and some neck lipo. I'm a thin dude but for some reason my neck blends into my chin, which is what I hate the most. Im thinking something like the medium or large implantech middleman pre-jowl chin. But Ill know more after a consult. As soon as I set up the consult, Ill begin to write a review. I think Im a great looking guy from the front but the lack of chin projection ruins my profile.

Oh oops, Ill be going with the submental incision.

Yeah I was only looking for 5-6 mm projection. My surgeon pointed out that my chin was not that receded but more a bit short. Hence the decision of placement. But I do have big lips which holds the effect back a bit. Dude, your country is so big. A three hour drive sounds like forever to me. I had a 10 min walk to my surgeon.. lol. I get it though that you want to do it with a good surgeon. I not saying you should take my next sentence to seriously but it needs to be said. A chin augmentation is not a difficult procedure to perform, so I don't think you have to be the best surgeon to be capable of doing a good job. I saw your pics, and you are right about your looks. You are a good looking guy from the front but I understand why you would want to have a chin augmentation. Looking forward to follow your progress! And thanks for your input on my progress.

Funny you say that cause 3 hour drive is nothing. The closest plastic surgeon who does chin implants is 1.5 hours away. Might as well just drive the 3 hours to see one of the best.

Hey! Yeah, it is not a big difference. I got a large one from Eurosilicone. As I told someone earlier, I had the implant placed a bit lower, which decreased the anterior projection but gave me a couple of mm vertical projection. Lack of bruising might because I am dark skinned. Sure thing, i'll upload it. Check again in 5 min.

Its incredible that even with your setback, the wound has healed so quickly.

Yeah, that was the part I was most worried about. I have friends that would have loved to give me a hard time about it, so I am relieved. Next step will be to see how long before I can go for a clean shave.

Yes I do feel lucky. Yeah, you are so right, it is very individual. Actually I have gotten the impression, that women tend to take more time to recover. But it can also be that women feel more comfortable about sharing some of their pain, unlike us men :). I am gonna go ahead and take some pics now so I can share with you guys.
