I’m afraid my chin implant is too big and pointy for my small face. I am 2 weeks post op. Input please (Photo)

It is not unusual for a chin implant to appear too big 2 weeks after it was surgically placed.  It can take several months for the swelling to resolve to see what the true appearance will be.  I would recommend waiting about 3-6 months for more swelling to resolve and then reevaluate your appearance.  If it still appears too big, it could be changed to a smaller size or different style implant.  

There can be a fair amount of swelling after a chin implant, which will gradually resolve over several weeks to months. I recommend following up with your surgeon. If your implant is asymmetrical, it can be re-positioned with a surgical procedure. I hope this helps.

Hi and thank you for sharing your concern. First of all, I would like to complement you on your nose, seems very natural and certainly balances your face well. As far as I can tell from the pictures, your chin looks great as well, but as you mention, certainly has a strong appearance to it. As other surgeons have mentioned, there can be a lot of swelling in and around the chin area after a chin implant is placed and the only way to best assess the final result is to wait it out (approximately 6-9 months). Of course, speak to your surgeon about your concerns and how to manage them. He will likely reassure you and provide a plan that works for you. Depending on the implant that was placed, implant removal and replacement is actually pretty straightforward and can be performed under local anesthesia +/- oral sedation in the office, so it wouldn't be the same experience as your original surgery. Hope that helped! Best, Dr. Roy.
