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 :)

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.

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.

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.
