Hello everyone. Just a little update fr me. It's been 14 weeks since the removal of my chin implant. I have not experienced any sagging but I do have a few small dimpling on one side of my chin. The dimpling appeared about 6 weeks ago, sometime they show on my chin and sometime they don't (they are not there 24/7). Maybe there are times when something is simulateing my mentalis muscle (I don't know) I absolutely hate those dimpling and looks like my chin has been shot by bullets. My chin has pretty much returned to the pre-op shape and appearance except the dimpling I mentioned. I don't know if I'm going to risk any further dimpling as the swelling continue to subside. I'm just very depressed and tired to deal with those.

Mina84 & Sophie1, When your docs removed the implants, did they sew the mentalis muscle or the skin layers? I saw it somewhere that if the mentalis muscle is not sew back, the chin will look sagging.

When I asked that to the nurse of my doc, she said that there's no need to sew them because the chin will automatically shrink by itself. I don't know if my doc is lazy and does not want to do extra work or really the chin will shrink back by itself.

I might have my chin implant removed by next week. I feel so dumb and regretful to have it done and wasted soo much money. I could have used those money for something more meaningful. Sigh....

Mina, how's your chin? Did the swelling go away completely? Keep us posted. : )

Hi Sophie, how long hv u had your implant sitting in your chin? I have mine 1.5 yr and I'm planning to have it removed in the following 2 weeks. Since I've them for so long, I'm scare to death that my chin will look uneven, have dis-formality or my chin bone will get shorter/smaller/weaker compared to my org. chin due to a bone erosion. Please keep us posted. Many thanks

Mina84, I was wondering if you experience any loose skin or dis-formalities associated with your chin implant removal? I had my chin implant surgery last year in June but now I absolutely hate it. I'd rather go back to my original chin and have decided to removal it. Can you tell me how do you feel? How should I expect it? Many thanks!

Wait at least a year to hv a revision. As the ear cartilage will get absorbed a bit by your body and it will even out by itself.
