So Far So Good
I just had my chin implant done, yesterday! I only waited 30 years to finally pluck up the courage and ,well, save the money up, to get this done. But better late than never as they say.
I'm happy so far with the result, even with the swelling which doesn't seem to bad so far. I underwent general anesthesia for the procedure and I'm really glad I did as I'm a wimp when it comes to medical procedures involving slicing and dicing and such. My doctor was great, his staff are great. It couldn't have gone more smoothly. I had never gone "under" before as it were and it wasn't bad at all.
I have, like a lot of us, who post here, been reading posts on this site for a few years now. I had a lot of fears and uncertainty, but my vanity and loathing of my chin, in the end, surpassed those , lol.
So, yesterday, being day one, was the worst, I'm assuming since I came out of surgery that day and had the initial shock of my body to the trama to my face. My experience was waking up out of surgery feeling giddy, likely all the good drugs I received, but sort of groggy. My boyfriend told me later I kept asking when I could go running again, if walking on my treadmill would be ok.. (it wouldn't be)
The worst times of the first day were 2 hours after surgery when the pain started. I took two prescribed pain pills and an Excedrin and it went away. The pain wasn't off the richter scale but it was ouchy. I would say 5 out of 10 and I"m a pain wimp so that was too much for me. I am happy to report little overall discomfort, no tightness in my teeth like I've read on these boards, no numbness of my lips, neither upper of lower (my eating of hard foods wasn't impacted, though I avoided lots of food due to the anesthesia and stuck to soup and some cottage cheese) some tightness and numbness in my jaw. The second worst time was at the end of the first day. My surgery was at noon, and i started dozing off around eleven at night, the nausea hit. It was unpleasant off and on for a few hours but I went to sleep fine and woke up with no nausea, oh and i didn't throw up.
So, now is day two. I feel much better overall. The grogginess has subsided. My chin and upper neck feel quite tender. I have taken 4 Excedrin today and no pain pills. I feel I might take one in the evening to assist with sleep since I am in a little discomfort but for waking time, I can handle the pain without them. I will post two photos once I figure out how to put a bar across my eyes and you can be the judge of the outcome. I'm very pleased so far!
