So, my bruising is slowly fading, but I still have two bright purple splotches on my jowls and yellow/red/brown across the rest of my Cindy, jaw, neck and a bit of upper chest. It is going to take at least 2 weeks to resolve at this rate.
I also have pain in one spot on my left jaw that actually radiates into a couple of teeth as well. I just emailed the PS to seek if tips is anything to be concerned.
swelling in my jowls has gone down some, but the left side of my chin is still really swollen and sticking out. Underneath my chin is also swollen and my scar is raised. At this point, my face appears longer and narrower than before. I am hoping this, is mostly due to swelling that will resolve. I will try to post pics over the weekend.
No numbness in my lips or really even in my chin. Still really tight feeling tough and my smile is crooked-a bit like a sideways "s". Can only see my top teeth.
Not looking forward to 2-6 months for all this to resolve, and I am a bit concerned about the pain that goes into my gum/mouth.

I think you look great and well done by taking action with your life. Old saying but time is a healer.

Your story really hit home with me. Last year, I was blind-sided with my wife of almost 10 years telling me that she didn't love me anymore and resulted with her filing for a divorce, which went through this March. I was and still am completely devastated. My self-worth and self-esteem are at an all time low.
I've been unhappy with my weak chin since I was 14 years old (42 now) and have finally scheduled my implant surgery for next month. I'm very excited and nervous to go through this. I know it takes more than a change of my physical appearance to heal my emotional trama, and I've been working on that too, but I need a "kickstart" to get me feeling better about myself. I plan on sharing the results and I hope it's a good decision.
I hope you are feeling better mentally and physically and on the road to recovery and a happy life.
Oh wow subjecting yourself to physical pain while going through emotional pain is going to be tough! I hope the surgery worked out well and you're feeling better.
How you doing now buddy?
It takes much longer than you think to recover... I am 16 months out and I am glad I did it... Did I really need it, prob not, am I more balanced and proportionate, def. hang in there, it gets better with each day!
I haven't had my done I've booked a consultation on the 14th July 2014, what key questions do u think i should i ask? also may i ask what do u think of my side profile?
David :-)
I looked at your pics and u look just like I did... I'll repost my pics... I can see why u want one, but keep in mind the front is the most important view and u look fine from that angle... If you have it done, u may be happy you did it in time, but get ready for an emotional roller coaster ride
thanks for the message, did it affect how you feel inside about yourself now?

Thanks for posting your photos. I think it looks good! That's from a laywoman, but your jaw looks masculine if still a bit swollen. I hope your headaches go away soon and that over time you like your results. I hope you're able to take your kids trick or treating!
I just had chin implant which dr cruise last month too, which size you got, medium?
I got a large sized implant. How has it worked out for you? Are you happy with the results? How long did it take to settle down to 90%'done? Thanks
i have a medium from dr cruise, i really like it. But i think a large would do better for me, i should talk to him if i can make it to the large in my one month visit.
As about you, don't worry ok. you will see all the swelling, numbness, and bruise go faded each day and each day. I was exactly like you, don't worry. those all will go away, just focus on the result. I wish i could get a large :(
Not bad after only 5 days post op... Bruising should be totally gone by week 2.... Swelling will take months... I'm 6 months post op and swelling is finally gone
Hi! I am two months post op and my swelling has finally started to go down and look normal! Under my chin is still swollen where the incision is but my cheeks and chin were swollen for some time. I am finally starting to look normal. Remember healing takes time. But it will be worth it :-)

Wow, looks great! I think the implant is most definitely an improvement! Your doctor did a great job -- the results look really natural. Hang in there! I'm sure once the bruising subsides that it's going to look perfect! I have my chin implant scheduled in two weeks. I'm also pretty nervous and hope my results turn out ok!
Hey there, It's been a month and I'm wondering how you're doing now and what you think of your results?
