I hate my chin implant to I want it out now but I was told I need to wait; ( It's been 8 days since I had this stupid implant I hate it.

What you needed is jaw surgery, not implantation. I recommend searching on youtube "bixmax jaw surgery", and watch the video "erin has jaw surgery". The results are AMAZING and will correct your problem :)

I just read your story and i completely agree that you looked much better before the implant. I'm glad you got it taken out. That was NOT swelling! Good luck to you moving forward!

Who was your doctor? I'm looking to get mine removed but unfortunately years after getting it done so I am even more afraid of tissue ingrowth/ deformities

The first 4 are from 1 day after removal,

The next 5 are pre-implant.

And the last 3 are with the implant in 2 months after surgery.

did u also get a buccal fat removal? it really seems like u did more than just a chin implant. just wondering?

No, no fat removal or anything like that. This was supposed to be a simple, small implant, and a subtle change to my profile. I do not really understand how it went so bad. And now I have scheduled x-rays with a completely different doctor to look at my face. Something isn't right.

I am glad you took that out! You are a good looking guy and never needed the chin implant.. it looked really hideous.. shame on the Doc who suggested you to get a chin implant!

One day after chin implant removal

I had the medpor chin implant removed yesterday. And I am much happier. I like my looks better already even with the swelling whichisn't to bad actually. It is not painful at all today. There was a bit of pain along the jaw for a few hours after surgery but that went away in 4 or 5 hours. I will post up some pics of today. I am back at work, so these are form my work computer in the office, sorry about the quality. First 4 are from Aug. 15/14, approximately 24 hours after removal. The rest are all pre-implant surgery. And yes, I was able to go to work the next day.

Thank you for sharing. You look great! You looked perfect before the implant from both front and side.... What made you decide to get an implant?

Thanks. Kinda long story why I did it. I wanted my nose smaller and a little more refined but the doc said a chin implant would give me of the result I wanted. And when I talked to him,about my nose it did not seem like we were on the same page at all. So I went with the chin. I always wanted slightly more chin projection. I still can't believe I did it. I never do things like that. But to shorten the story, I think I was trying to compensate for a bad left shoulder injury and resulting deformity that stopped me from going back into fitness modeling 3 years ago. Sad as that is.

Tx again for sharing, glad that you are happy with getting it out....a wild journey but just know that you were not alone in the process. There is a weird bond that we all share on here and anything we can do to help just reach out.

I had mine removed today after only two weeks of having it in place. Right away I new I didn't like it. I am happy to have my old chin back now~ :)

Hi we see many many pre implant and post implant removal photos ...yet only one implant photo that only shows the bottom third of your face and is quite a poor photo. Do you have other post implant photos? Would be interesting to see

You def didnt need an implant in the first place. You have a nice profile already. Thank you for posting about porus implants.
