Is my chin implant big for my face? I'm aware of the swelling, but I need reassurance from doctors doing this procedure (Photos)

Asked By:prem_manasa in Bellevue, WA

Hello Dr's, It been 3 days since I had my neck lipo and chin implant, I would like to know if the chin implant I selected is big for my face ?. I know it takes few months for the swelling to go down but I'm getting little anxious of the result. However if I wear compression garment, my face dimension seems okay but without the compression garment, the implant look big. Please reassure me and confirm whether the implant is correct size and is my face still having the feminine feature?. Thanks.

Based on your photos I am not sure whether chin augmentation would be the only option. I have impression that you also have a slightly obtuse neck-jaw angle due to lower insertion of neck muscles? In person exam would be necessary to establish right diagnosis. Options that you have are chin...
