Very nice!
Looks like you're healing up very well!
Your incision looks amazing and so do you!! Wow!
I loved reading your posts so much! Thank you for sharing, for real, because it kind of helped me finally pull the trigger! Getting my chin implant and neck lipo next Wednesday :)
I am so happy to hear that! I was hoping my posts would help support other people who are in the same shoes as I was. A few members here made such a huge impact on me and helping me through the process I'm elated to be able to pay it forward! Good luck in your journey :) be patient, and I hope you gain all the confidence in the world through your process!
Thanks! I'm def looking forward to not constantly thinking about my chin/neck area haha
Cant' wait to see your results! are you going to post something soon?
Yes! I'll do some "befores" this weekend and update on Wednesday or Thursday after surgery :)
how's everything going?
Awesome! All this is just a memory. I can’t feel my implant anymore and it feels like it’s a part of me. I don’t constantly wonder if people are noticing my total lack of chin. I feel complete. I look the way I always wished that I had :)

I almost forgot!

Here's some pictures of my incision. It's not raised, you can hardly see it at all. It feels tight though when I tilt my head back. But not bad :) I'm glad I did sub mental instead of intra oral.

Welp, it's been a wild ride!

This is long past due but here's my update. It's been 16 weeks since my surgery. I've had so many ups and downs. At my 8 week appt the doctor said I still had some swelling that would continue to go down and he will see me again in 3 months or so from now. I can still feel swelling sometimes. I can definitely feel the outline of my implant when I palate it. Sometimes I can feel the implant inside me on my swollen days when I laugh or smile. It's all good; It's a part of me now. I'm still paying off a HEFTY loan, but I don't regret doing this for a second. My surgery is truly priceless to me. I have a confidence unlike anything I've ever felt before. I'm a better version of the self I was before surgery. I wish I did this when I first learned about it. It's been a really tough road but it is beyond worth it. I never question whether people are evaluating my chin or not anymore. Only my chin friends will understand that feeling. Thank you all for your support and encouragement; it has truly been invaluable.

You look great! That profile view is perfect!
You look great!!
You look so great!! It was so worth it!!!
Wow congrats on getting such a great result! I have no idea how I have a pouty center lip from a similar size chin implant (12mm) where you got out unscathed, and we both have delicate bone structures. So relieved for you! My only theory left (aside from muscle damage) is that my chin implant has pushed the mentalis muscle upwards even though the implant projects forward and slightly down. Can you feel the chin implant like it's just under your skin, or is it well padded? I can feel the chin implant like it's merely covered by a layer of skin.
This is really delayed but i can still feel my implants outline. ITS more padded now but i can’t palpate it’s borders. My numbness is gone ans my movement returned. SOme Days i still feel swelling but nothing big.
Your smile looks gorgeous!
Thank you so much
