25 Year Old - Finally Getting my Chin Implant - Atlanta, GA

WORTH IT$5,700
Heya! I always knew something was 'off' or 'different' about my face but I couldn't put my finger on it until I became a teenager. It was my chin or.. lack thereof. Waves of insecurity would come + go as a teen/early 20's but for past couple of years, it's all I see when I look in the mirror. I think about it often. I don't think I can look at my reflection without sticking out my bottom jaw to look like I have a jawline/bigger chin.
Now, I'm finally at a place in my life where I can feel confident about making a big change to my face. Here we go! I'm getting a chin implant AND neck lipo on July 28th.
Had my consultation today and I'm definitely a lot more nervous than before - simply because the date is set, the deposit is paid, and it finally feels real. It's no longer something I daydream about!

Two more days!
Hey y'all,
Two more days before the big day. Thought I'd check in once more before my surgery. Trying not to think too much about it so I don't get too nervous. The moment seeing my new chin for the first time is going to be a big one.

You gonna be so fine!
Are you getting a general anesthesia? Is the implant put internally or externally? I had the same procedure done a week ago and I feel fantastic :D
Good luck, don't think about it too much. You will love the result x

Hey! Got it today. I got anesthesia, yes. And the implant was put in externally due to me having a gum procedure in the past.
Thank you for the good wishes!

Day of treatment
Day 1!
Got my chin implant and neck lipo this morning. Everything was super quick and I was back home in my bed by noon.
The ride home was a little rough - I was in a lot of pain but as soon as I took pain pills and passed out for a few hours, I felt a lot better.
Now everything just feel super tight and fragile. No nausea, appetite is normal (soft diet right now), and very sleepy/groggy.
First look at my chin with my head wrap on, I am hopeful that it's going to turn out well. I'm a little weary of how 'masculine' or 'square' it seems right now but I am hopeful that it's just the swelling based on what I've been told by my doctor and what I've read on here.
Another thing to note is nothing seems super numb where I can touch/see so that's good! I was nervous my lips would be numb for weeks but I can still smile like I normally do!
Overall, I'm happy it's over with and hopeful that I'll get the results I wanted. Stay tuned!

Congrats you finally got it done! I have to say it's already looking super good. It gets me excited to get mine soon. Do you know what type/size implant you got?
July 28, 2016
Thank you!
I don't, unfortunately. I kind of just put my trust in him to make it look good and balanced for my face. He did tell me that there are 8 different sizes and I got one the smaller ones because my jaw is very small to begin with. All I requested is that it doesn't look square, haha.
I will ask him tomorrow when I get my wrap removed and will update you! When is your surgery?
July 28, 2016
Ok thanks! I didn't know there were many sizes. I think he did a really good job. Actually I haven't booked my appointment yet since I want to get my wisdom teeth out first which is tomorrow(yikes!) and after that is when I'll decide when to get it after doing some good research for a good surgeon lol

Gotcha. Good luck with that! Once you tackle that, this will seem like a breeze! Way less blood ;)

Hello magdvn! I hope all is going well. Where was surgery performed and what's the doctor's name? You look amazing!
