Chin Implant- So Glad I Did It!!(26 YO Female - Toronto, ON)

Yes we do pick ourselves apart way to much! Most people don't even notice half the things we are insecure about.

thank you…appreciate the feedback very much

Hi Modesto818- I feel like it balances the face overall. For me it did and I had a small chin and bigger nose. I had a large extended anatomical silicone chin implant. It balanced my face perfectly and gave me definition. Pictures on my profile.

Hi there. I don't exactly have a "nice" nose. It has a significant bump in it but to be honest I have grown accustomed and don't think i could ever change it- it is the same nose that my father and grandmother has. I have had people ask me in the past if I broke it and I have others tell me it is very victorian and aristocratic which really is not a compliment. I really think a chin implant can very greatly balance a nose though. For me, I am more comfortable with my profile now because of my new chin and I think my nose is no longer an issue although to be honest my nose doesn't really bother me. I very rarely see people who I think would ever need a nose job but a chin implant is such an easy and drastic change that I think a lot of people could benefit from. Honestly, this website is a very positive community and I think maybe posting a photo to get opinions may be helpful. I see a lot of people who get surgery but REALLY look wonderful and are just too hard on themselves.

Oh wow, thank you! I never allowed my profile to be shown in pictures so Im happy I remember to take a couple day of surgery! Good luck with your surgery- its quite an easy process to go through although the full results take quite a few months to look natural ( at least in my case)

Really? How many months would you say?

I guess it's different with everyone. Mine looked natural right after surgery and still does.

For me it was about 4 months. But I lost a bit of weight and found that helped as my implant was a bit square on me- so losing weight helped thing my face out

Mine was a bit square and took time to settle. I also lost a bit of weight which helped it look more feminine. Perhaps I just wasn't comfortable with it for a few months. Everyone is different- glad you were so happy right away

Which kind of implant did they use? Was it the extended anatomical chin ? Mostly what they use for women faces.

I know what you mean though it's crazy we have something in our face! :)

Thank you so much! I am really, really happy with my profile overall which is why I had the surgery in the first place. It can be hard to be positive when you see a new reflection and cannot get used to it but I am trying to be 100% positive. No matter what it is an improvement and that's what I need to focus on. I hope you get the results you want...It is really not a painful recovery or surgery and it makes a pretty big difference. Good luck to you!!!!

Glad you are being positive. The front has changed a slight bit but not for worse, just different. However, the profile is utterly fantastic. I hear your apprehension because something you liked has changed a little. That can be tough to cope with. Just know that from an outside perspective, I see the change but think it still looks good. :)

Thanks-the side view is definitely an improvement for sure and you are right, I think I am just going to take some time to adjust to my new face :) Overall still happy I did it though.

Thank you!

How is the implant? Has it caused any "bone erosion" of the gums?

From what I can tell there doesn't seem to be any erosion. I don't even feel the implant at all whatsoever anymore, it just feels like a natural chin.

That's good. I am 3 days post op and it feels mostly normal now. What about you AmyS33? Have you noticed any bone erosion throughout the years? (I heard that could possibly happen, worries me!)

Im not sure- I just know it was the XL size. Anything smaller would not have adjusted my profile enough so overall I'm happy :)
