WORTH IT$26,000
Swelling has decreased so much day by day. My jaw and cheek implants are still swollen but I'm already happy with the way they look! Dr T did as much lipo as he did so I am really looking forward to the chisled look. I have absolutely no pain from the implants . I'm still on soft foods thought so I don't damage the stitching inside my mouth. My chin is turning out ok, maybe it's growing on me. I will wit 3-6
Months to go back for a consult on my chin if I choose to replace it. I'm still 80% sure i will Just because it is not exactly what I wanted. For anyone has any questions feel free to ask!!! Thank you for sharing this life changing experiment with me

My swelling has decreased so much every day. I am very frustrated already but I knew it would take this long. I am very happy with my jaw and my cheeks but not with my chin. Not even a week after the surgery I realized I was not happy with my chin. I spoke with doctor Terino about this and he was not upset about my opinion. On the other hand he was very happy to change it and offered me a lesser price for the procedure. I will wait until the swelling goes down so we can choose the proper chin for my face. I believe there was a honest misunderstanding about my chin so I am not upset.

It's all looking good! Would you mind posting a picture of you smiling so we can see what the cheek implants look like when your face is moving?

Sure:) my smiling has improved a lot. the first few days I couldn't even move my lips. The swelling did not let me smile at all. Even when the swelling goes down the dr warned me that I will not have my normal smile back for 1-3 months because of the minor nerve damage. I'm not talking about splitting major nerves, just nerves that become damaged and heal relatively quickly.

Looking good! What do you not like about your chin implant? Do you know what size chin implant Dr. Terino used?
October 17, 2015
Dr T used a Terino Style 2 (XL) implant on my chin. During the operation be modified it to give me a square chin which we had discussed but I didn't wan a block chin, I wanted a wider chin that transitioned well toward the jawline. He says he will use the same type of implant but not make any modifications to it. I live that he was able to keep my dimple. Also, since I anted a longer chin he attached the implant as low as possible (the very edge he said) to give me some length.

5 Days after surgery

Yay! The surgery lasted around 8 hours. I had no complications with the surgery or anesthesia. Dr T spoke to me afterward and explained everything. I was out the door and back to my hotel 20 minutes after waking up. I went with 14mm custom jaw implants, Terino Style 2 chin and 5mm high cheek implants. The pain was intense! After 4 hours and a few painkillers my pain went down and has been very very mild since. I would say the only thing I have felt is discomfort due to the swelling. I am 5 days post surgery. Swelling is still bad but improving. I saw Dr T for a follow up 2 days ago and is pleased. I will go be going tomorrow to remove the stitches. I am nervous to see how I will turn out but recovery will take some time. I will keep updates on my recovery.

14mm jaw implants - wow! That is nearly an extra 3cm in total extra width to your face! It's looking good though, and it looks like you are getting out of the window of opportunity for infection safely now too. You must be pleased! Hope you can post more pictures as everything continues to heal :)

He did 14mm on one side and shaved down the other to 13mm since my face was not symmetrical. I love these custom implants because they are not only thick but they are long running down the jaw line, not just the jaw angle. Since the had molds of previous custom implants, I only had to pay 1000 extra for the pre-made custom implants. Making personalized custom implants can run in the 10s of thousands. I will keep posting. Thank you!!!
