Thank you so much! The numbness went away slowly with in time. I couldn't smile for the first few days and then slowly I was able to have feeling. Expect at least 3 weeks until you are able to feel some feeling.

You look incredible. Glad you are happy with it, I love the success stories cause I know the pain of living with a recessed chin.

Where do I start... Well I got my chin ...

njones2016April 24, 2016
Where do I start... Well I got my chin augmentation and buccal fat removed by Dr. Elam. I've been looking to encance my chin for so time now and after doing my research for a year, I narrowed it down to the top 4 rated Drs. In Newport Beach. After going into couple of consultations with different doctors and coming out with disappointments. I was beginning to worry, I wasn't going to find the right doctor for me.
The day of my consultation, Dr Elam listened to my concerns and answered all of my questions. I'm a small petit girl, but the round face with the weak chin Was not cutting it. Dr. Elam made sure as per my request to give me that natural chin, and slim down the chubby cheeks.
The day of the surgery I had hardly any swelling. Day 3 ( when the bandages came off) I was able to see a huge difference.

It's been 15 days post and I'm telling you I couldn't be any happier.



See for yourself.

What is the size and name of the chin implant he gave you? Also was it done submentally? Fab results!!!

Dr Elam recommended a small size, as for the name I don't know. It was not done submental, I did not want the long face illusion. More or less I wanted my chin to be aligned with my lips.
Thank you,Im so happy with my results.
