My New Chin

I truly cannot believe how fast time goes. I know that I haven't updated with a photo, but to be honest that is because I have extra weight on, not because of the implant. I would have thought by now that I would no longer feel anything in my surgery area, but it still doesn't feel quite normal. No pain or anything, just a sensation of knowing that something is there. And still a little tight in the smile. I am still getting bumps on the underside of my tongue, and never having had them before, and now getting them so frequently, in my mind I can only attribute it to the implant. Only needed antibiotics once, thank goodness. Not sure what the bumps are all about, and hope one day they will no longer be a problem. Point of implant was to improve my profile, and I would say: goal achieved. With that, I am happy. Of course there has been a trade off, but, at this point, the pro does outweigh the cons.

Dear... you have to stop worrying about improving your face and start working on improving your self-confidence. While you may not have achieved perfection I would say you have received improvement on your nose, and you are still only in the healing phase. Revision surgery is always an option if necessary, and much more preferable to suicide. Please, take a break from all of this obsession with your looks, you are doing yourself harm. Get involved with helping those less fortunate than you, and then when you look in the mirror you'll be very happy with the person looking back at you.

I never really had an issue with my chin looking crooked, but in my first week my face was looking really square, so maybe I was too swollen to even tell. I am happy to be able to assure you that my face no longer looks square. At one wk I would assume you're still quite swollen, and would say from my experience, to expect things not to look or feel right for a while more.

Hi there... before my surgery I too looked for as much info as possible to calm my nerves before surgery. That is why I am posting about my experience. I'm trying to think of the best things to tell you since for me it is behind and for you it is ahead. I guess my best advice would be to really try to keep emotion out of it as much as possible. Don't go forward unless you've researched that your Dr. is competent, and then trust in him/her. Expect to be uncomfortable, and for quite a while, but BE PATIENT. Remember that if anything goes horribly wrong you can always have it removed. Each person's experience will be different, and you never know, your healing might be a breeze. Wishing you the best...

Nice result!
