Chin implant and sub mental liposuction

WORTH IT
I have hated my profile since high school and realized it was only getting worse as I got older. My mom has always had a saggy neck and I am turning 40 this year so I decided it was finally the right time. I picked Dr. Rotatori bc he was highly recommended by several people I know, including administrators at the local hospital. He was also reasonably priced, especially compared to another flashier surgeon I consulted with. I went in knowing I wanted the implant and Lipo, he also recommended fat transfer for my chin fold as it was deep.

Yay for you! You look amazing! I'm scheduled to get a chin implant in July of next year and your post has me looking forward to it. Your results are great! Did you have a lot of stiffness afterwards? How is your recovery going? Again, you look lovely. I'm so happy for you. :)

Thank you! It's going well! My bottom lip is kinda frozen in place and I can't smile like normal but I understand that it's just, normal temporary nerve damage. It could take weeks or up to 6 months to resolve. As I'm nearing 2 weeks I've stopped wearing the compression dressing as it's uncomfortable. I'm very happy though and I don't feel like there's anything foreign in me like I hear others saying. Good luck!

Hi! I sent you a PM. Your profile reminds me so much of my own and I turned 40 in July. I am scheduled for surgert on October 14. I only have about 12 days of recovery before I have to go back to work. Do you have any photos of your recovery you would be willing to share? The swelling and bruising day by day by chance? That would be so helpful as I am considering pushing my surgery back to December, I am so unhappy with my profile but also really need to look presentable going back to work. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Surgery

lesthom99
The surgery was done with general anesthesia, I was in a lot of pain after but managed to get through the night taking one pain pill every 3 hrs. The next day I loosened the compression dressing bc I think it was pressing too much on my chin and that offered great relief. I was super swollen and the bruising was dark on my chin where the fat transfer went. My lips and the inside of my mouth were swollen and bruised. 2 days after I was able to stop the pain pills and felt pretty normal but still looked terrible. 3 days after I worked from home and it was fine. I’m now 9 days postop and the bruising is still there but the swelling is down and I’m so happy with my neckline in profile shots. From the front I think I look the same. I can’t smile or talk normal yet but I know that may take months to resolve.
