Chin Up, No Not That One

This is my update from the last time I left off. Dr.Schlesinger was able to take out the XL chin implant and put in a much more fitting small implant size S that matches my facial structure better. I can still feel the tension in my skin as it’s still trying to settle in, especially inside my mouth where the incision for the implants were made. The left side is and always has been numb since the 1st chin implant surgery. Hoping I get full sensation soon because it feels really weird but doesn’t bother me. I’m able to move my mouth a little bit better, I was having issues with the XL implant as it was so tight it made it difficult to eat/drink properly. Now things are going much better and I’m no longer dribbling, it was so embarrassing
I did this revision surgery on August 21,2020
Over all I’m doing much better and I can say Dr.Schlesinger is a very caring doctor who wants to make sure you’re happy with your results and will make time for you to get you there. He wants what’s best for you. Thank you Dr. Schlesinger and everyone at his office who are so kind and they work hard to provide the best service.

I boxed and showed my concerns to the doctor of the constant non stop pain on my left side of both jawline, chin, inside mouth where stitches are areas. He then discovered I must have suffered an allergic reaction to the stitches, he was to take them out today at which he tried his best to do, I go in tomorrow to make sure everything was out since trying to take the bigger stitch caused even more swelling. Pain level is still there, as well as noticeable a very weird sensation of numbness, again all on the surface of my left side chin, lip area. Heading home to take Benadryl and call it a day as it’s still not at a 100% healed.
They doctor shared with me before and after pictures of another woman who had the similar facial/chin situation whereas her chin wasn’t strong, and defined. He told she had size XL placed in her chin so to not be alarmed. I’m hoping the pain and swelling can dissipate as the stitch was removed I should FINALLY be on my way to recovery. Fingers crossed.

It’s been 2 weeks and several days since surgery and my chin hurts, everything hurts! I have been doing everything possible to reduce the swelling, I thought this was an easy breezy procedure the way the doctor described it but it’s been my worse experience. The whole left side of my lip is numb and I’m in so much pain and as if that’s not worse I can’t eat properly because my mouth will not move properly. It’s like the implant is so huge for me WHICH IT IS AN EXTRA LARGE I wouldn’t think I’d be that candidate for and I know it is not for me. I can feel my skin surrounding the chin is pulled tight. Too many things that I DID NOT expect, and or want to go through. I get to see the doctor tomorrow and hopefully we can remedy this because a person should not have to feel like this. It’s awful.
