Hi everyone! I had a follow up a few days ago and my dr was very pleased with my progress. He wants me to keep wearing my strap while I'm at home and when I sleep. Still have swelling, more still on left than right. Still have a numb chin and bottom lip and can't smile normally yet. But I was fully expecting this and am staying positive. I'm happy so far just want this pesky swelling to go away!!! Patience and positivity is key.

Well I made it to the 7 day mark! It hasn't been all too bad. I had days that were worse than others.
I still have swelling and numbness in the middle of my bottom lip down to bottom of chin. I'm experiencing all the tingles and odd sensations in both so that's a good sign! I can't smile normally yet but I'm confident I will be fine in due time. My post op appt is in two days so I hope I get a positive progress report! I am going to bring up the swelling really just for peace of mind. I feel like I still have jowls, especially on the left. All my friends and family are convinced it's just swelling but I want to hear what the doc has to say. I will update again soon!

Thank you so much for sharing! I go in tomorrow morning for the exact same thing - chin implant and lipo. I am so nervous about the recovery, the bruising and swelling. I think you look amazing in just seven days! It gives me some peace knowing most of the bruising should be gone in about a week. I look forward to another one of your updates.

Thank you Fingirl! Best of luck to you and please let me know your experiences! You'll do great! I have no regrets!!!! :)

You look GREAT!! A really nice difference but not too much. People might not even see that you've done anything but just have better camera angles! :) I see what you mean about the jowling on one side, I know there is such thing as a pre-jowl implant but I am sure that your doctor knows what's necessary or not, and it's probably swelling still. Looking forward to your updates, but so far so great!

IT IS JUST SWELLING. YOU LOOK GREAT! i did mine and dont look good i'm freaking out.. it feels like i didn't even do anything.. im hoping it's because i got buccal fat removing too and im very swollen that s why i feel much uglier :((( cheer up. looking like this after 1 week only is amazing.

I know the feeling of thinking and looking like nothing was done. It's torture. The swelling can be so frustrating. Today my neck feels like wood, it's hard and weird feeling. I go today for a follow up. Stay positive Gabbygroup. Let time do it's thing. I bet you'll feel much better about things in the days coming. Let's keep updating each other!

I see you're in Cincinnati...what Doctor did you go to? Im wanting a chin implant...im in Fairfield. Ive had a consult with 1 doctor about it.
February 9, 2015

Thank you! Ive had a consult with Dr. Donath. I tried to with Dr. Mandell/Brown but their office was hard to get ahold of. Other than that it doesnt seem like there are many facial plastic surgeons around. Im really scared it will look too big bit i want it so bad! Dr. Donath recommended me getting a 3 mm or cm...cant remember...but i think thats not too big.
February 9, 2015
I saw dr donath! I liked him but I liked dr Hummel's pics that they generated better than dr donath! I actually had a const with mandell brown but they canceled on me!
February 9, 2015
Yes he did. I looked on dr. Hummels website but couldnt find any pics. I always like to see the pics!
February 9, 2015
Like I said I liked dr donath and I'd say you'll be in good hands. But I'm happy I went with hummel. He's honest, conservative and experienced. No regrets!
February 9, 2015
Im so glad for you...i bet you were thrilled to have it done. Ive been wanting it for sooooo long...im supposed to be abke to get it within the next couple of months. I may call your doctor n get a consult cuz you seem very happy. Sooooo excited! And thank you for your replies!
February 9, 2015
No problem!! I wish you the very best!! I planned this for 7 months and worried the entire time. But I'm proud of myself for going through with it! Go for it!
February 9, 2015
Thank you! I kept on & kept on telling my fiance how much this would benefit me & he finally said he would get it for me so i just cant wait now. The only concern i have is it being too big...oh and shifting but ive done lots of reserarch so im definitely doing it!

3rd day post op

Well my swelling is at an all time high. My cheeks are so puffy as well as my bottom lip (which is numb in the middle). The pain is bad today and yesterday and I must admit, I'm a tad discouraged. I've had to take the strap off for a few minutes at a time for some relief but I get scared and put it right back on. I was told yesterday and today would be bad swelling days and that wasn't a lie. Last 24 hours have been rough. I hope it starts easing up soon.

Oh no, yeah that sounds really painful. Did they mention anything about possible numbness? I am sure you are heading through the worst part of recovery, so enjoy those pain meds! Hopefully the pain will start to subside this weekend, don't lose hope this is just a small but painful part of the journey. Thanks for keeping us updated :-)
