Also dimpling on chin new too. Also, There is a prominence like a bump on right jaw just distal to that dimpling. Could it be the wing folded back? What is this dimpling and prominence from? He said the prior gortex chin implant was difficult to remove. I want to remove implant and just get submentoplasty (Lipo and muscle tightening). Im afraid of things looking worse or having new problems. First chin implant was gortex w/o wings placed 20 yrs ago. This one silicone with wings.
I had chin implant surgery 3w ago, silicone w wings. Shape is perfect and symmetric. But I have a bump on the left side where the wing ends, I can feel and I can see it now that the swelling has subsided. The other side is perfect, I can't feel anything. I thought it was the implant but if I pull my skin or I pull up my face, I don't see it anymore. I went to see my surgeon last week and he said the implant is placed right, he said to give it time to heal. Please give me your opinion, thank you
I had my chin implant done about 4-5 years ago. I believe the implant is silicone and was not secured. It was placed from under my chin. I recently noticed a weird feeling and a bump in my gums/lip area and realized the implant or wing had shifted. It has been this way for several years, but I just now noticed. The surgeon said that surgery is too complicated and that my face is already asymmetrical. He basically said I look fine from the outside and nobody will be looking that close. Advice?!
My chin is already slightly asymmetrical. It is invisible to the front view and you can only tell if you see it from an absurd angle. When I run my finger across the chin bone there is a small bump of bone going forward. If I were to get a chin implant, would the implant exaggerate this slight asymmetry, or could the implant be carved slightly to accommodate this bump.
I noticed the lump days after surgery as the swelling went down. When I touched the lump it would hurt in that spot and at the opposite side of the implant as well. I asked my surgeon a month after surgery and he told me it was the swelling and that it would go away in a few months. Two years later it is still there and sometimes, when I sleep on that side of the face it hurts. What are the options to fix it? Do I have to pay for the revision? Is the recovery the same as a regular chin implant?
I've been insecure about my profile my entire life.. my back looks hunched with a weird neck shape in the front. Not sure if this is caused by a weak chin or need a neck lift. Any advice on what I could do to have a more graceful/less off profile view. I had a bump shaven off my nose when I was in the 8th grade and ever since then the weird profile seems to be even worse. Thank you so much!!
So i've been finding it really hard to imagine what I'd look like with a chin implant and if the look I want is even achievable for my face shape. Despite the fact I do have a weak chin (and I do want an implant) I still feel like the bottom of my face is too big and would like it to be shorter and my jaw line more angular (like the photos). Is that even possible with a chin implant? I also have a tiny bump on my nose which I'd like to be removed. I'm also getting braces to fix my teeth.
I've had a chin implant for 2 years and a week ago I tripped up the stairs and fell straight on chin. I had a big bruise for days, which is just fading away. The swelling is almost gone, but right above my chin and under my lip i have a big hard bump. It felt softish, like jelly the first days, but as the general swelling goes down, the bump feels harder and it doesn't seem to go much down. Is it possible that the bump is actually the implant that moved?
