What a difference a year makes!
WORTH IT$4,000
I'm happy with the results.
It took a long time for the swelling to go away but it finally did and now I'm pleased with how it looks.

Glad to hear you are pleases after months of feeling regret. Can I ask if your chin did get shorter by 12 months? I'm 1 month out and feeling despair and waste of money.

Seeing some progress...
It's been 6 weeks since surgery and while I still regret doing it, I can see the swelling (very) slowly but steadily subsiding. I see small changes as the weeks go by and I'm starting to feel more like myself. My doctor wasn't kididng when he said the swelling would take several months to go down... I am 99% sure it will not be any shorter than my original chin, which was the whole point of the surgery, but if in a few months when the rest of the swelling resolves I end up with the same length I had I will literally cry of happiness, throw a party and never ever mess with it again.

I had a similar procedure. I think most likely with the doctor you may have been happier choosing. The doctor I chose has done over 500 chin reductions. Anyhow, what I will tell you was that i was only semi satisfied up until about the year point. Until them I felt my chin was still too massive. I was ready to complain but first I printed out some photos... and when I looked at them I was surprised to see my chin was noticeably better. The swelling had gone down so slowly, and taken so long to go down, that I really was looking at myself in the mirror and seeing me months ago. But when I put it on paper... side by side... after a year. Well, amazing. Also, in the last few months the number complements i have been getting "you look good" have been noticeably increased. I also still have some stiffness in my lower lip (though I could eat rather well after only two weeks) even after a year. So keep a stiff upper lip... umm, i mean lower lip. You are still VERY early in this healing process.

Thank you for your comment skydani and for sharing your experience with me, I really appreciate it. It makes me feel better to hear that it took you a while to see the final result. Even though I'm trying to be patient, this definitely helps :)
My lips also changed shape a little, my lower lip looks a bit thinner but that part I don't mind really.
Do you mind sharing with me the name of your doctor? this time I really want to do my homework in case I need a revision. Thanks again!

Skydani are you now pleased with your results and happy you had it done? I'm 7 weeks post chin reduction and mine looks bigger than before. It's made me regret having it done
Thanks
Thanks

I am very happy I had it done. Though I wish it could have been more aggressive. That written... even a year post op I still (slowly) continue to see swelling dissipating. I looked back at my 2 month photos and OMG I was still so swollen... at the time I did not realize it. If you want to message me privately I am willing to share most post-op photos.

regarding dimpling... I am not sure which method you had... but regardless I would guess nerves, soft tissue and muscle are all still trying to get their bearings. Dimpling (or new wrinkles or indentations) would seem normal. These things will probable continue to evolve and eventually could be treated with filler and/or Botox if really annoying.

Hi I had exactly the same problem, my chin looked similar to yours to start and now it looks longer from the front. I'm 7 weeks in and still not happy, has yours improved? Is it swelling? I'm hoping mine is

Thank you for your response. Comforting to know it will be ok at some point! Thank you
To me. At least I know now if I go through with it I need to wait a year before weighing up whether it has worked. So pleased you finally got a good result. Do you have any before and recent after pics?
You have to be very patient. I legit thought I ruined my face, I was convinced. It took one whole year for the swelling to go away completely. Not for the faint of heart.
