10 weeks post chin implant, insertion via inside of mouth. Still slightly numb on my bottom lip, and 1 side is lazier than the other when talking/smiling. The implant obstructs biting into things, and food gets stuck in the elevated groove created inside my mouth. I feel like its placed high on my chin (we wanted it to improve my profile, not elongate my face) Is it possible my mental nerve is being squished/damaged? What are my options if so? My own doctor has told me to be patient.
I had a chin implant which the doctor sown into place 3 months ago. I used to sleep on my stomach before surgery but now when I try to sleep on my stomach I get nervous because I'm afraid the pressure from me pressing my face into my pillow will cause my implant to shift or move caused by the pressure on the implant, can this happen?
I feel like my chin implant is cut too short because I dont have a smooth jaw line. The size is what I wanted but from the front it doesnt look quite right. My surgeon did say that he was very conscious of my nerves in the chin area and trimmed the implant accordingly. I feel that I can see marionette lines as well. I also just found out that my surgeon is leaving the practice this month so he wouldnt even be the one to revise it.
This is really important for me because i have no idea what to do. Its been 3months since the removal of my small 5mm silicone extended anatomical chin implant which stayed in very short time. Its been 3months some parts soften but in the center of my chin and the area above incision side is still very hard like a bone i guess its scar tissue right? Should i massage that area? To soften ?? Please tell me i dont want to mess it
Hi, I had a neck liposuction and a sub mental chin implant placed in when I had an extensive revision rhinoplasty in December 2016 (almost 3 months) but now I am concerned it sticks out too much resulting in pre-jowel depressions on either side. Could this be due to swelling? I do not like how this is looking so far but am willing to give it 6 months before giving it the boot. If I have it removed before a year will my chin go back to pre-implant shape? I believe it's a small silicone implant.
I had a large chin implant put in approx. 2 1/2 months ago to improve my profile, which it did and am really happy with that part of it. However, the front view change, which is expected, except it didn't change for the better. I now have a very asymmetrical face and looks terrible in photos, I am told it doesn't look bad in person but I disagree. I go to the doctor for a 3 month check up soon. I will talk to my doctor about options when I meet but would like other opinions in the mean time. Thank you.
The implant made my face look really long and wider from the front. It looks terrible. I am REALLY scared that my chin will never look similar to pre-op. I had the implant put in almost 3 months ago. Can my chin ever return close to how it was before??? Please help. I thought the surgeon used silicone, but now I found out it is Gortex and I wouldn't have had it put in if I knew it would be difficult to remove.
I got a chin implant 3 months ago & It's an improvement but not what I expected. The implant is too small & I discussed this with my surgeon and said he would swap it out if I tell him exactly how many mm I want it. The one in there now is a small silicone one that was placed through the mouth. I included a pic of what I would like my new implant to look like. My question is how many mm should I tell him or what kind of implant? Do you think a rhinoplasty would improve my profile?
I had the implant put in 3 months ago. I was told it was large but not huge. I am very unhappy with it and want it out. I know it can be removed easily (not an implant the scar tissue grows into) but I want to know about the chance of having aesthetic side effects. The doctor mentioned lumpiness in front of the scar. Or drooping skin. Is it likely that these effects will be minimal after only three months? does anyone have post removal pictures? Can anything be done to mitigate these risks?
