I am now 1 week and 2 days post op and I feel as though that my chin is too boxy. It completely changed my face by making it longer when I got the procedure to give me projection. The implant was inserted through an incision made at the bottom of my chin and it was a small. Do you think this is because of swelling?

Hey! It would help a lot to post pictures without a snapchat filter so we can get a better idea of what your facial proportions looks like. However I wouldn't worry too much yet as I've heard that people typically still have quite a bit of swelling 1 week out.

You look great! And YES, you are very swollen at 1 week. Give it at least 3 months before you evaluate your final results.

I live in Fairfax and I'm planning to have chin implant with doctor Price too. Your after photo looks great. Your chin looks much better than before. You are beautiful now. How long did it take for the surgery? You slept or you were awake?

Dr. Price is an amazing doctor and he is willing to go above and beyond to make sure he achieves your desired look! Thank you so much, it’s so nice to hear you say that! :) the surgery was an hour and I was asleep the whole time. When I woke up the first thing I asked was “did we start yet?” I felt so good after surgery, just a bit loopy! Tell me how it goes with Dr. price!

The swelling went down!

I am now 3 weeks and 2 days post op and I see a big difference between 1 week post op and now. I can actually see the true implant size and it doesn’t appear bulky/boxy anymore. I love it although I would change the projection more from the side. What do you think?

Loving my results. My forehead used to look really small before my chin implant but after I can see that it looks more in balance with my features. Excuse the filters haha I need a chance to take more without them!

It looks so great! I have mine scheduled for next week and seeing results like this helps calm my nerves. Is there any way you can post a picture of the incision? Also any feedback on your experience (pain, etc.) would be awesome. Thanks so much for keeping up with us!

Of course! I have so many pictures of my incisions and I’ll even leave tips on how to treat it! You’ll be fine I promise you, I went in a nervous wreck, but as soon as I saw the doctor and nurses, I instantly felt relieved. Usually for a surgery like this you will receive a general anesthetic and you will knock out in 2 minutes, you will be shocked how fast the procedure is! After surgery, I felt a bit numb and swollen but I didn’t feel any pain. The most pain you’ll feel is a shooting sensation 2 weeks after surgery and that’s the nerves adjusting to the implant!
