• Posted to Pretty Smile Gone, Long Chin Even Longer Now After Implant - Los Angeles, CA on 17 Apr 2012

  I agree.
  
  You might be experiencing 'old man droopy chin' or 'pointy chin.'
  
  This is a side effect while healing and it should not be permanent.
  
  Bristol Palin had this when she first had her chin surgery last year.
  Try googling some photos of her and check out her healing process.
  
  I also found out on my own that you will need to learn how to talk and smile to compliment your implant.
  
  My chin implant is 12 years old. I am not 100% happy but I have greatly improved its appearance by
  learning how to move my mouth differently.
  
  I have somewhat of a pointed slant to the right if I push my bottom lip downwards.
  
  Mine took 6-8 months to heal.
  I didn't get any compliments until about 6 months after most of the swelling went down.
  
  Don't be depressed! It gets better!!!!!
  
  Surgery takes a long time to heal.
  If it makes you feel better when I had my nose job (same day as chin) my swelling took 2 YEARS to go down.
  Then I had that elegant slender nose I wanted.
  Most guidelines say 1 year.
  
  I thought I was going to need a revision!!!!

  @VERYWORRIED,
  
  It is so soon!!!!!
  You won't even know anything about your chin for about 4-8 months!
  
  Read my Review as I had more surgeries with my chin implant and I am not sure if this affected the healing time, process, etc.
  
  Yours looks great!
  Is it only doing the right side droop when you smile?
  
  Mine does that and it has been 12 years if I smile hard!!!!
  
  Try smiling softer and practice sticking OUT your lips (especially the bottom) a little bit rather than pushing the bottom lip down so hard on top of then chin implant.
  
  For some reason your mouth shifts to the right.
  
  This is how I 'corrected' mine from doing that.
  
  You have an implant now! It is going to do its thing every time you move your mouth.
  
  I am sure the ladies with breast implants understand what I am saying.
  Those things don't move like natural ones do!
  
  You gotta learn how to work your new implant!!!!!
  
  P.s.
  Don't you hate it when the doctors don't tell you these things!
  
  It looks great!
