28 Yr Old Chin Implant With Liposuction

It's taken my quite a long time to write this review as my chin implant is something I try not to think about anymore. I'm extremely dissatisfied with the outcome. The chin implant is crooked and 2 years later I still have a lisp when I talk when I'm laughing or smiling. Theres also weird indents on my chin that look like scar tissue or something.
I realized this quite soon and called the office multiple times. I was finally seen and at first the doctor brushed it off, telling me only i saw it because I look at my face all the time, others couldn't tell (what?!?!?!?) Then when he saw I wasn't backing down he admitted it had shifted and was crooked. He ran his fingers a long it and actually tried shifting it back right then and there!!!
Doctor Liu informed me I would have to pay to get it corrected but it took me years to save up for this procedure and I could never take off work to recover like that again or afford the fees for the procdure again. Not to mention of you have read my story on here you know how unbelievably awful the procedure went.
He did tell me he could temporarily fix it with putting filler. Which of course i had to pay for. (Thanks doctor)
So now I'm trying to love with my crooked face. I'd also like to share that liposuction was done under the chin and all that came back within a year. Even though my weight stayed the same. Honestly I wish I'd never done it with this doctor.

Almost 3 weeks
Almost 3 weeks since the procedure. I think im.happy about it. I dont think it's a huge difference, I cant see a WHOLE lot of change. But I suppose my face looks better.
My concerns are how.awful my lisp is and I look like a weirdo smiling still. I can't wait for that to go away (I hope it does pleeeeeaaassssee)
And my neck is still tight, although not as much. I cant put my head all the way back and when I do it even at a 20 degree angle all the skin gets limpy and bumpy. Looks like an old ladies bottom. In still wearing the garment every night and im.putting bio.oil on it for the scar part.
I dont know im.kind of down. I just dont know how to feel

I think it's given a better balance to your face for sure. You look lovely, and its still early days yet, from what I've seen it can take up to a year before it makes a big difference. You have fab lips btw!!
Chin up gal!! :)

Thanks so much. I know I'm being a little ridiculous but I'm I think its the aggravation of the lisp and lumps on my neck. And thank you about the lips. I do juvederm. Half syringe only tho! And I.do 1/3'top 2/3 bottom.

Hi, hope you're doing well, has anything changed much over the last couple of months?
February 8, 2016
You look Uh-Mazing! I didn't have lipo, but I did have platysmaplasty, and I can't stretch my neck back much, either. I figure over time all will repair and motion will eventually be restored. Hang in there, beautiful!
February 12, 2016
Thank you for your kind words. Every day I try to do some stretching and massaging but I still have the lisp and pain. Just want it to go away

I want that procedure done too, but after reading this I think I would go for general anesthesia... Yikes!! What a nightmare....You mentioned you get Botox... Do you mind sharing your age? I just turned 41, last month, and considering that too..thanks!

I think local.anesthesia is fine if youre just doing the chin implant, but if youre doing lipo, if I.had a choice to redo it id be out asleep. That was the most painful experience of my life. The doctor said I should have Told him and he'd numb me up more but at that point I couldn't talk I was shaking crying etc.
I do get botox I started to get it at 26 because I have such a strong brow. Ive never had a problem, it always makes me.look great and it.doesnt hurt. It just gets pricey

I also have the tightness, and bumpyness on my neck, super annoying but I'm sure it will start getting better over the next few weeks.
I don't have a lisp, but I do have numbness on the right side of my lower lip and chin that is driving me craaazzzyyyyy!!! Slowly getting better. I have very little feeling when I touch it, but also a constant burning/tingling sensation. Super weird.
I hope you start feeling better soon. You look gorgeous!

Hi, thank you for sharing your experience, and for posting photos of your progress - the chin looks great now! You said you wish that you had gone with the large one as opposed to medium - how do you feel about it now? I am getting an implant in a month and I am terrified of ending up with a manly chin, so I am going for a medium. The doctor said that medium is fine, although he says better results are achieved with a large one. He said he'll go with my wish and that he'll ultimately decide when he is doing the surgery. I think I'll insist on the medium, not large. So, how do you feel about the size now? I think the difference is very nice - your chin and underchin are much more defined.
Also, do you feel that you have something under your skin?
Thanks for sharing!

Still have tightness. And I talk with a lisp which is driving me nuts. Hopefully that goes away soon. Does anyone know anything that helps with that? But besides that im really happy. I hated my profile but never realized how disproportionate the front looked too so I am extremely happy with my elongated face!!!

Your pics look absolutely beautiful! I wish I had good advice for you, but I am a first-time healer myself from other procedures. All I can guess for now is patience for the changes that are inevitably coming. Have you contacted your PS about your concerns yet?
February 3, 2016
Thank you! I know I have to be patient but its hard. I have a follow up with my doctor next week and if the lisp isn't gone by then I'll definitely talk to him!
February 1, 2016
You look great, please keep us posted. I am hoping to have Lipo with chin implant very soon. :)
February 3, 2016
Thank you!! I hope everything goes well. All I can recommend is take arnica montana, quercetin with bromelain and plenty of vitamin C!! It helped me recover so.much faster!!!
February 3, 2016
You look beautiful!! My implant was Jan 14th and my lisp is JUST starting to subside
February 3, 2016
Oh thank god you commented, today I was starting to have a meltdown over the lisp, like what if it didn't go away etc etc. So thank you!

Having said that, I think you look absolutely beautiful. I flew from Ohio all the way to California to have my own chin implant.
