Hello! I've always hated my profile. Pictures or videos of me from the side are cringe worthy to me. I'm getting an intra oral chin implant with a lil lipo in two weeks! Very excited and very nervous! I will post updates. I trust my surgeon and have a pre op appt in a few days. I expect to feel more at ease after I leave his office after we discuss some final questions and concerns

Thanks for sharing your experience with us gals. I can see a improvement already from your old profile picture. Please keep us all updated! Would love to see the final results after all the swelling has subsided.

Today was my chin augmentation with neck lipo. I had the intra oral approach for implant so inside my lip is stitched all the way across. Not painful but my neck sure is. I can't take my chin strap off yet but I think I'm going to like my new chin from what I can tell. Here's a pic of me on the way home. I look tired and messy but ...well I was tired and messy! Lol!

Your profile looks a lot more defined! Hope you have an easy recovery and minimal swelling. Looking forward to seeing the end result and hearing about the rest of your recovery. You did it, glad you like what you are seeing so far! :)

Thank you cyndicee! I will keep updating. I'm optimistic as of right now but dr said Thursday and Friday will be my worst days as far as the swelling. I'm taking the pain meds on a scheduled regimen today. I started an antibiotic and a mouth rinse too.

Hope you are finding the pain manageable.Thanks for the new pictures, yes it's swollen, but still looks good! It doesn't look overdone at all so that's great!!! How long is the recovery expected to take?
January 29, 2015
Hi! The pain is manageable. I only took 2 pain pills today compared to 5 or 6 yesterday. Recovery can take a couple weeks give or take. I've taken off 2-4 wks from work. I know that patience is necessary for this procedure so I'm going to try very hard to be. So far, so good!
January 29, 2015
That doesn't sound too bad, that's a good amount of time to give yourself to recover. Glad you are happy so far, hoping it continues to improve and you are thrilled with the results :)
January 28, 2015
Wow, what a different already! I will have the same procedure as you in about 3 weeks, so I`m also looking forward to seeing the results and hearing about your recovery. I hope you get well soon!
January 28, 2015
Thanks Novah! The pain today is all in my neck and my jawbones are sore. I can take the chin strap off today for a shower but have to put it back on. I will post pics when it's off. So far, I'm happy!

Day after surgery

I was able to take the chin strap off today for a shower. It felt good! The pics show how swollen and puffy I am along as bruised. I feel like a bulldog lol!! But I can see a chin and a profile improvement so I think I'm going to be very pleased!

Wow looks so great already :-) just wanted to ask was it always your intension to get both? Lipo and chin implant? I really want both but was told to just get lipo. I'm not sure if that will define me enough. Anyway good luck recovering and I hope to hear back soon x

Thanks queeniexo! When I went for the consultation the surgeon suggested the lipo to go along with the implant. I'm glad I did both. But the lipo seems to be more painful than the implant so far. Have u had the digital pics made of a projected "after" pic of u with an implant and/or lipo? That's what sold me was the pics the dr made. I'll be posting more updates in the days coming with pics. Can't wait for some swelling to go away!
January 28, 2015
No I haven't had anything like that. My dr said lipo would be enough but my chin is pretty much the same as your old one. Can't wait to see more pics and I'll be looking forward to reading more of you story. Thanks for being so helpful. X
