Sliding genioplasty (6mm + 2mm vertical), submental liposuction and fat grafting along jawline

I've been insecure about my weak chin since my teens. I had fillers applied to my chin area about a decade ago but didn't like the look (it gave me a witch chin) so I've been hesitant of getting an implant. After an unsuccessful liposuction procedure that didn't help my profile a few years ago, I learned about sliding genioplasty. I thought the results looked so much more natural than an implant and I liked the fact that the genio pulls the skin around the chin forward. Plus the risks seemed much lower.
I just had the procedure on Monday, April 5th with Doctor Derek Steinbacher in CT. I'll post updates on my results.

It’s been a week since the procedure and I’m very excited with the progress! Im also very glad to be working from home because I’m still bruised and swollen. There’s some tightness in my lower lip and I feel like I sound weird when I talk, but none of my coworkers that I spoke to on the phone said anything about it.

I have a follow-up appointment with Dr. Steinbacher tomorrow. Hopefully I will be able to eat solid foods and not have to wear the compression strap for much longer.

It’s been 10 days after surgery and I still have some gross looking bruises. Talking is easier but I still feel some tightness in my lower lip that limits how much I can move my lips. I can’t fully smile.

Dr. Steinbacher directed me to only wear the compression strap for a few hours a day and at night for the next week. I can eat more solid food now but need to be careful of the sutures.

I can’t wait for the swelling to be gone! I hope to see some definition in my jawline.
