As each year was going by, I was becoming more and more paranoid about my recessed chin. I hated it in photos, forward facing cameras scared me, it just didn’t feel normal to me.
A few years earlier, I underwent rhinoplasty which Simon had performed for me. We had discussed performing chin augmentation as well. In hindsight, I wish I had the chin augmentation done at the same time but I wasn’t ready. Simon gave me the information I needed, but at no stage ever pushed me into it. This is one aspect I found Simon very good for... he’s informative, happy to help, but never pushy, which is crucial when going through what can be a life changing operation.
Following the rhinoplasty, as each year went by I became more and more certain that I wanted the chin augmentation done. Happy with the results from the rhinoplasty, I contacted Simon again regarding this. The process was very similar. An initial appointment to discuss what I felt was wrong, and what I was hoping to achieve, then Simon would give his input and explain what he believed could be achieved and the options available. If I was still interested in proceeding, arrangements would be made to book in the procedure, as well as a second meeting with Simon close to the procedure to go through any final queries. It was all very professional.
The procedure went well and the staff at Spire hospital in Bristol were brilliant. The only thing that had caught me by surprise was the recovery from the procedure. I had done a lot of reading online and wasn’t expecting it to be too uncomfortable, but for the first week it was definitely more uncomfortable than what I was expecting... not painful though and due to work demands, I was able to get back working after 7 days. The implant felt ‘tight’ and weird for a month or so, but after 3 months all those sensations had passed and there is zero discomfort from it.
The results... At the time of writing this, 6 months has passed since having the operation. I can confirm that Simon delivered exactly what I had asked for. My chin now feels normal! With working from home and a lot of zoom meetings, I’ve not been paranoid about the forward facing camera at all, my side profile looks so much better, I am very happy! From a vanity perspective, sometimes I wish I had asked to go a little bigger so I would recommend having a good discussion about this with your consultant, but as I said above, Simon delivered exactly what I had asked for and a very good result. It was only last night that I saw an old photo which reminded me of how much I hated my old chin and it highlighted the major difference the operation has made for me.
In conclusion, I highly recommend Simon as all aspects, from the initial consultation to the results he delivers, are very good.
