Is It Even Noticeable? - Seoul, Korea
I just had genioplasty surgery done about 7 days...
I just had genioplasty surgery done about 7 days ago (so there is still swelling) and I am upset because I feel like the difference isnt even noticeable... The doctor said he moved the bone out 4mm, but I'm starting to think that wasnt enough. Not sure if I should keep waiting for the swelling to go down (I think it will only get smaller though) or look for a revision before the bone heals...

Looking at the pictures you posted it does seem there is a change. In the "before" picture it looks like your head is tilted up slightly more than the "after" picture (using the grout lines in the background as a guide) so if anything your chin would have been more accentuated in the "before", but it looks more prominent in the "after". I agree with you that it is a pretty slight change, but a nice one none the less. Please keep us posted how things are looking and how you are feeling about it as the swelling continues to go down.
It doesn't look much different to be honest. You should go back and see your Doctor soon. It is easier to do a revision before the bone heals as you mentioned.
