Chin Implant and Neck Lipsuction. 400cc High Profile Mentor Silicone Breast Implants Under the Muscle - Arlington Heights, IL

I'm really confident in my decision to go with Dr. Placik! He is so smart and the consultation was very informative. I also love watching his snapchats haha!! I am also getting a breast augmentation at the same time & I'm really excited about that too. I'm looking at that as more of a "bonus", while the chin & neck thing is a major concern that I definitely need to be corrected so that will be the focus of my review but I'll talk about my experiences with both.

I'm not overweight at all but I have a double chin that absolutely drives me nuts. I'm hoping that the chin implant combined with liposuction can give me a significant improvement to my profile. I do have one concern. I think my teeth kind of stick out forward which pushes my lip out and I have a dip underneath my bottom lip. Dr. Placik did confirm that this dip was a dental issue that could not be fully corrected with a chin implant. So I made a consultation with a cosmetic dentist to see what she thinks. I'm assuming she may recommend Invisalign to push my teeth back. Yes I've put a lot of thought into this and I'm really trying to do my best to not obsess over it but I can't help it lol! Hopefully some of you out there can relate!

As far as the breast augmentation I decided to go with 350cc high profile silicone. I'm 5'2 and about 115 lbs. I am concerned about the "boob greed" that I hear mentioned so frequently but I'm also concerned about going too big and looking crazy since I'm kind of a small person. I really mostly just hate their shape so I'd like for them to be rounder. I guess since I'm almost 30 now I'd like to finally feel more womanly & I think this will be a great gift to myself to celebrate that milestone. People have always thought I look more like I'm closer to like 23 so I think I'm ready to change that.

Well I'm looking forward to keeping this journal of my experience because writing has always helped me organize my thoughts! And if I can help someone else that would be great!

So I went for my consultation with a great dentist. She did recommend invisalign as I thought she would. I've been looking at people's reviews here on Realself and it actually really motivated me to do it. I have a few things I need to take care of with my teeth first though. I have a few fillings that I need to replace and I need my wisdom teeth removed (eeep). But I think next year after the chin implant is healed I will get the invisalign. I think both of those things will drastically improve my profile.

So I went for my sizing appointment for my BA which is normally done with a nurse. However I asked if I'd be able to ask the doctor a couple questions about my chin as well. They said he was very busy that day and might not be able to pop in, and I said no problem. But then, I was very happy when they later called me back and asked if I would like to move my appointment to an earlier time in the day so that he'd be able to talk, and I was thrilled with how thoughtful they were to remember. I'm really glad I did, too, because he addressed all of my concerns and now my nervousness is gone. We also decided on a different implant as well, which the nurse followed up with me to confirm over the phone, which was also incredibly thoughtful.

I have to say I am absolutely thrilled that I decided to go with Dr. Placik and his team. They have all been incredibly nice and helpful and I have felt totally comfortable there. Of course, I haven't seen the end results yet, but I have complete confidence. He's a pretty fricken smart dude, to put it simply.

I also got an email asking if I would mind if they recorded my surgery on snapchat!! I laughed so much at the thought of an audience of strangers looking at my insides. But I really enjoy watching their snapchat and I actually learn a lot, so I told them I'm totally fine with it as long as my face or tattoos aren't shown. I have quite a few tattoos so I hope that isn't too difficult for them haha.

Well I have a couple more days of work, and then I have wednesday off to go shopping for pillows and food and comfort items. I hope I don't forget anything!
