Dr. Shaw is the second plastic surgeon I consulted for a chin implant and lipo. I am 5'5" and 120 with a very small recessed chin. Even though I'm petite built, I always have a double chin and hate my side profile! !! I'm so self conscience! ! Wow, I wish I would have seen him first! After meeting with him, I'm so confident he's going to do a great job that I booked and paid on the spot! I'll keep updating with before (cringe) and after pictures!

Thank you! Vicodin helping a lot now! I took off the compression, too!

Yes, pain medication and the sleeping pills were my best friend for the first few days!!! Also, I iced my jaw area as much as possible... that helped me feel a little better too!

So...I just got home today, but I took off compress because it hurt too much. Vicodin helping a little. I know seeing people's pictures helped me makethe decision to get a chance implant, so I am uploading pictures even though it is embarrassing to me!

I was embarrassed to post my before pictures too, but RealSelf is the no judgement zone!!! So no worries. Try your hardest to leave the compression garment on as much as possible, it will help with swelling so much. I hope you feel better soon. Let me know if you have any questions :)
