Picture four months after removal of implant
This is the end result of my sliding genioplasy, jaw implants, neck and facelift. Honestly I feel as though I should never have done this and would encourage those thinking of this to get a chin implant instead. At least of it becomes problematic you can have it removed. I am left disfigured and unless I spend thousands more dollars and risk even more extensive nerve damage I am likely to remain this way.
Update 4 months after implant removal
The feeling is slowly retuning to my chin and bottom lip. There was a nerve wrapped around the implant on the right side which got injured during the removal process. Some of the feeling has returned. On occasion now it is still painful as I get jolts of pain which I take as the nerve recovering. I have regained the feeling in the surface of my chin and lip. It is still numb below the surface. On another good note my bottom teeth are feeling less tight and I believe I am starting to get feeling back in them although the gum is still completely without feeling.
Healing after implant removal
As the swelling and numbness from the implant removal progresses it is becoming clear that the pain in my lower teeth, chin and gums is permanent. I still feel like my gums are being ripped from my bottom teeth, burning and still difficult to form words or speak for very long without a huge increase in pain. Three years is a very long time to be in such pain! I am so sick of my face hurting so much!!!!
