Here’s me at 120lbs. I was about 140 when I had the surgery done. You can see what a difference weight makes on your jawline.

I’ll also say I went through a very stressful divorce and had some other things going on for the last year that really took a toll on me mentally and emotionally. I feel like I’ve aged overnight. Ugh. Doing better these days but still see the effects of long term anxiety and stress on my face.

You look perfect

Thank you for the kind words

I’m like 6 days post op and so swollen on one side. I’m starting to worry. I thought it was supposed to reside after 72 hours.
June 29, 2019
I was swollen for such a long time, even when I thought it had gone down it was massive. I look back at pictures and honk omg I looked awwwwwful like a massive lantern jawed freak. It takes a very long time to actually shrink down to “normal”
June 29, 2019
Thank you. You’re making me feel so much better.
June 29, 2019
Oh yeah go back and look through my photos. I was basically unrecognizable for months afterwards. It’ll get better. Just be careful and follow your doctor’s instructions closely.

I am 7 days post op and still cannot completely feel my bottom lip or my chin so my smile looks a little off? Did you have this same experience? If so, how long did it take for it to go away completely if it ever did? Also, how long would you say most of your swelling went down? Any tips on how to get my own swelling down? Thank you in advance!
July 2, 2019
All I can tell you is that it lasted far longer than I ever imagined. Even when I thought it had gone down I can look back at photos and see that it was still looking big. They say it takes a year to fully fully resolve.

Thank you! Does it still feel numb for you at all?

Occasionally when I move the mental muscle there’s a weird sensation or if I press directly on the center of my chin I get a tiny bit of tingly sensation from the implant pushing on my dental nerves.

Here’s what it looks like after dropping some weight. I’m sick in bed with a cold so please excuse how gross I look. Still experience some sensitivity when I press on the center. When I wake up in the morning it tends to feel...tight? Like I need to stretch the mental muscle or something. I still have concerns about long term bone erosion but it seems to be ok for now.

You look wonderful. I’m having my chin implant in 9 days. With all the advancements nowadays I find it crazy the only solution for bone erosion is removal. What would it do to the space left behind if technically it’s smaller than before because of the erosion? Sorry kind of talking to myself, obviously a concern. But hopefully everything you’ve experienced so far was just settling and it’s not going to continue. I love your results and it makes me excited for mine!

Nothing, as far as I understand it. So you just live with it haha. I hope yours goes well!
June 20, 2019
How are you feeling now?
June 20, 2019
I feel fine. Sometimes I get nit picky and critical when I look in the mirror but my bff reassured me just this past weekend that it did wonders for face and she considers it money well spent.
June 20, 2019
I think you look fantastic, but I understand looking at yourself and seeing something different. As long as you’re not in pain. Trust me though. You’re very pretty! I think it looks great. I get mine Monday. Eeeeek.
June 21, 2019
Thank you for the kind words. I hope your surgery goes really well and you have an easy recovery. Just remember the swelling takes a long time to go down totally. Don’t go nuts over it! Haha

Looks different

So It’s been a few years now and since my last update I’ve gone back once to address some weird tingling I felt whenever I pressed on the bottom center of my chin. Dr. ordered an X-ray from the side and it appears there was some bone loss or “settling” of the implant. This might be causing the implant to press on the area where my tooth roots sit, hence the tingling. Not much can be done other than remove it or get over it. He doesn’t think the bone loss will continue. I guess we’ll see.
To me it looks smaller and more recessed than it used to. Still better than what I once had, but not what I was hoping for ultimately.
Despite having a size large implant, my chin still looks too small and recessed for my taste. My face still appears unbalanced in profile.
What do you all think?

You are such a beautiful lady! I think your chin came out great. How common is bone loss and settling with chin implants?
October 17, 2018
it appears to be minimal so long as it’s placed properly. Google images of it if you want to see.
October 12, 2018
Sorry you’re having tingling sensations. I do think it looks fantastic. We’re our own worst critics, right? Be kind to your beautiful self!
