Chin Implant Removal and Sliding Genioplasty - New York, NY

Thanks for uploading! You look amazing, your outcome couldn't be any better! You made a beautiful bride!

You look beautiful! Happy the genioplasty worked so well for you. Did your previous implant have the extended anatomical wings? Did your doctor ever say why out feel below your chin bone like that? Thanks, and all the best!

The transformation is just unreal... You look like a top model!

Excellent results!

I'm happy you got such a great result.
Who was the surgeon did that your chin implant, and why do you feel you had all those issues? Was it silastic?

Is your lower lip smile position higher than it was pre implant and/or pre SG? thanks!

You look beautiful! Dr. Jamali did a fantastic job!!!

Unreal! You look amazing. You inspired me to get a SG. I just had it and I am 2 weeks post op today. Thanks so much for this update. Couldn't have come at a better time. Again - you look amazing. Jamali did great work!

You look absolutely gorgeous! I would love to see some more "before" photos, just to see the comparison. PLEASE POST!

Hello, it's great to see how your surgery changed your life. I might do the same but hesitating because some reviews are not as happy as yours. Does your teeth feels numb, and your scar less tighten?

Dear Cbart, I laughed out loud when I read your line: (paraphrased) "I have pretty eyes and a really nice nose and I'm tired of making everything about my damned CHIN!!" As my laughter might indicate, I suffer from the same problems, and had to put up with it for SIXTY-FOUR YEARS!! I am married to the dearest of men, who happens to be a periodontist (gum surgeon). He thinks (or says he does) that all his friends tell him he is so lucky to have me for his wife and that he does not need ONE THING changed about me. But he could tell that my appearance was really bothering me, especially the bane of my life: "my damned CHIN!". My weight has increased, and with 4 pregnancies, I no longer had a tiny waist line. As one ages, of course, the fat everywhere (including your face) falls toward earth's center, and with such a recessed chin, my maxilla appeared larger (probably is!) than the lower mandible, so of course this increased the look of protruding upper teeth. I am very fortunate, it could have been a lot worse! I married Randy 14 yrs ago, and despite him being a periodontist (gum surgeon) he never suggested I should fix my teeth/chin. When we discussed it (at my request) he encouraged me to get braces (I used Invisalign, worked perfectly, and I only used them when I slept (contrary to the "rules". Just takes longer.) But they can turn brown with coffee or tea and one cannot chew gum to keep breath fresh. Anyway, $10,000 later, my teeth were properly positioned and my "overbite" was for the most part corrected. I was thrilled. Not one dentist had in my WHOLE life suggested I needed braces. If they had, my parents would CERTAINLY have had me wear them. So, that was about 10 yrs ago when I was 54 - 56. But, but, but ....THE DAMNED CHIN still was recessed. I threw out all photos that gave a hint of my profile, I hated it so much. Randy discussed a sliding genioplasty, but at my age I wasn't quite sure it was the right thing for me. So, went to 2 PS for consults: both recommended an implant (probably like the rotten one you got: big difference, an OUTSTANDING plastic surgeon. I also had eyelids shortened, brow lift, lips augmented (I was never as stunning as you are, but I've always been considered "cute and pretty"...but in your 60s all of this goes the way of all things. LOL I also had cheeks augmented (all augmentation with my own fat), facelift (no more jowls) and philtrum (I think that's what the tiny distance between bottom of your nose and upper lip) shortened which enhanced my (always commented on) smile by rolling up the vermillion so upper lip better matched lower lip. SO! A ton of work! And just 7 weeks earlier I had a tummy tuck/liposuction. Dr Huntly in Savannah is an ARTIST! Just as your wonderful PS showed you (were those drawings ever interesting, thank you so much for posting!) I knew exactly what he was going to do and went into surgery with no fear whatsoever. My waistline is back and my thighs and flanks are SO MUCH slimmer, it took 5 lbs off me and I've lost another 20! And "my damned chin" looks perfect (or as perfect as it can given my bone structure). I truly cannot feel it AT ALL, and even only 15 days post-op I can rest my heavy head on my palm as we all do with no pain, no numbness or lack of movement, seriously, I forget I had that done it's such a non-event. I think the diff between your implant and mine has to do with the skill of the PS, and I am certain you think so too. Some of the other procedures were very painful and I am glad of the Percocet (needed for 6 days)...but my skin looks so young. I applied for an new credit card at the register to save 10% -- you know how they do this. I had to give my birthday out loud, and I will be 65 in two months. The nice lady at the register turned and looked at me and said, "Wait-- does that mean you're going to be SIXTY-FIVE????" And then, "There's NO WAY you are 65." Well, exactly 2 months ago I definitely looked tired and drawn, unfit, (belly and thighs from my mom, chin from my dad...but they passed on a lot of good stuff, too!!! ;-) ) and now I look, feel, act so much happier, THRILLED, it's like a miracle! We are all so hard on ourselves...I KNOW no one else cared about my profile, BUT I DID, TERRIBLY. I never thought I would have plastic surgery, but let me tell you, I am a BIG FAN since, like you, my life was turned 180 degrees to the good! Thanks for sharing your story -- I loved seeing your transformation and knew you were right, the first was an unsuccessful surgery. But I think what Dr Jamali did for you was much more appropriate at your age. Since I have absolutely NO awareness of this little implant, I suspect it'll last out my life. But if I'd been in my twenties I would do it the way you did! Cbart, your style is outstanding, so is your courage, and I love how you took a lemon and made lemonade. I admire you so very much. Thanks so much for sharing, I think your post will inspire others to ENSURE you get the right surgeon who can "see" your face as it is meant to be! Good luck always, and God bless you for helping others. xox Maggie

OMG you are so gorgeuos now!!! Glad you're happy!!

Could you tell us what a consultation with Dr Jamali costs?

Thanks so much for sharing your story! There aren't many places online to learn about real results from SG, your experience has helped me a lot! Out of curiosity- did you have any mandibular protrusion before your procedures (not that you look like it)? My old orthodontist had mentioned that my teeth position sorta protrudes more- now I'm concerned what the results of SG or chin implant would be in conjunction with that. Having a hard time finding out post-surgery results for people with similar issue.

Wow and I just read your thorough review of Dr. Jamali! So many of my concerns answered right there! Awesome! Thank you so much for sharing your story and providing all of the details. If you do happen to sign back on, could you comment on weather or not you can go through metal detectors and have MRIs? LOL I was wondering this myself! Alas, I may have already made a consultation by then.
