My chin isnt very recessed, but the way my skin attaches to my neck reduces jawline definition. Im mid-20s with a BMI of ~21, so I dont think excess fat is the issue. I dont want a temporary fix like filler. Would a small chin implant be the best way to improve jawline definition in my case, or are there other factors I should consider? Thanks!
I am 20 years old and I got a chik implant placed two weeks ago. As soon as I got it I knew I hated it. I gave it a chance to wait for swelling to go down, but I honestly really hate it and want it out as soon as possible. It brings me so much anxiety knowing I have this in my face and have been booking consultations with other surgeons to remove it, as I do not want my original surgeon to touch my face anymore. Are there any specific complications that I should be worried about? Any insight would be helpful, I feel like Ive been so alone in this process!
I feel as though my chin protrudes when I smile and as Ive gotten older Ive noticed it more and more. Would I be a good candidate for a chin implant or would botox fix it? I initially wanted a rhinoplasty but I now (after some googling) think its not my nose thats the issue, my bottom half of the face is imbalanced?!
I understand faces are assymetrical but Im unsure as to what is throwing off my facial harmony - Im considering a chin implant or reduction with rhinoplasty but unsure if this will target the asymmetry. My face looks completely different on each side!
I got a chin implant removed 6 months ago, I only had the implant for a year, but my mandible muscles are causing tension.I got a rhinoplasty surgery about a year ago, the surgeon recommended getting a chin implant due to my facial structure. A few months after, I ended up getting so many issues. My mouth hurt, I couldn't smile, the implant irritated my skin, and I got a lot of pimples on my chin. I had to find another doctor to remove it. However, my chin isn't the same. I have a small visible pocket, and when I speak, I can feel my muscles causing tension. What can I do to make my chin feel better?
Hello, I currently have a silicone chin implant and I'm considering switching to Medpor. I'd like to share my surgical history and ask for your professional opinion. February 2017: My implant was placed intraorally (via the mouth) during a rhinoplasty operation. Unfortunately, it shifted upwards on one side, causing visible asymmetry. (1st surgery: shift in the upper right) September 2017: I had a revision surgery, and the implant was fixed with screws. Despite this, I still have noticeable asymmetry. Since then, Ive had temporary hyaluronic acid fillers, which improved the appearance but only for 46 months. Over the years, Ive had consultations with many doctors. Some were reluctant to perform another surgery, saying removing the implant might cause soft tissue damage or make re-insertion difficult. Recently, a doctor suggested removing the silicone implant through a submental incision (under the chin) and replacing it with Medpor. Now, Im trying to make an informed decision. Here are my questions: What are the pros and cons of switching from silicone to Medpor? Can Medpor be inserted intraorally, or is submental incision the only reliable method? Is it true that removal of Medpor is very difficult if needed? What is the risk of numbness (lip, gum, chin) or infection long-term? Im also wondering: if the silicone implant is removed, would a new silicone implant (repositioned properly) be a viable alternative instead of Medpor? Thank you for your help.
Im finally wanting surgery on my cleft after having tried the non-surgical route for many years and having spent thousands on doing so without any satisfying results. I find filler always migrates, makes the chin look bulbous and feels tight, even when used in conjunction with Botox, that typically wears off in a month. I believe my mentalis muscle is really strong, and that the main reason why, as i am aging, the appearance is becoming more masculine. I do still have filler in my chin that is placed upon my bone that I believe is contributing to the overall roundness, and i have had filler either side and in the chin/lip grove but feel a fat transfer would be a better option as well as mentalis muscle surgery if that is a possibility? Just to note i do not think my bone needs reshaping in anyway and i am a 33yo female. I would like to undergo chin liposuction at the same time, as well as cheek fat grafting, or possibly a ponytail facelift/brow lift as i am not happy with how my upper face is aging. I hope the photos highlight my concerns well enough for you to offer feedback. Thanks in advance
I had chin implant on 6th of October 2024, and after more than 8 months, i still feel numb under my lips and my chin still feel thick, also my smile is still crooked. And what worse is i feel its too big for me. It doesnt suit my face. I just had a consultation with another surgeon recently to have a second opinion and he also think that my implant is too big. So im looking for another opinion from another surgeons here, do you think my implant is too big? I would love to hear your opinion. I consider to remove my implant but Im worried that its gonna make my chin worse. What do you think will happen if i remove my chin implant? And what the recovery will look like? Can it be done under local anasthesia? Also can i have my smile back to normal after removal? I also thinking to have a chin augmentation with fat graft. Whats your thoughts on that? Whats your recommendation? Thank you in advance for your answer.
I had a 35 year old chin implant replaced. The wings became detached on tbe sides and I could see it. The dr replaced it with a size small implant but it looks huge! I have a very slim face, 61 y/o. It is pointy and long. Wondering why it looks huge and what to do. ( lips are larger in after picfures from lip lift)
