It's been almost 10 months since my chin implant and I'm thrilled with the results. The scar under my chin is barely visible and my chin feels normal and I really can't tell I have an implant. I'm much more confident in myself and no longer self-conscious about my profile. Dr. Truong did such an amazing job and I know others on this site have used him for their chin implant surgery also. Thanks to everyone who has given me positive feed back and good luck to you all.

now looking at the before pics and then comparing to it to the after pics..that it definitely made more noticeable improvement made by the implant especially the lower third of face.I cant wait to have my chin augmentation consultation next few weeks

wow what a difference!! had mine done about a month ago (different issue with my chin and a different surgery) and I am happy with the result but it is not nearly as dramatic as yours... bet you wish you would have done this years ago!

Thank you, Lacey! I'm very happy with the results. Still getting used to it, but happy!

I am thinking of gettting this procedure done, I was wondering if you experienced any facial hair loss at the incision under your chin and if so was it noticeable with shorter stubble?
January 28, 2014
Hi, I haven't experienced any hair loss at the incision. I've grown a beard and you can see no signs of a scar. I'm very pleased with the way it has healed. Good luck to you!

No issues where the scar is. It's just a little numb. I just have to shave a little more carefully since I have a chin now!

Hello, your surgery looks great, hope you will be happy with the final results.
It looks like you did not swell too much on your first day of the operation. I had genioplasty done last year, 27th December,and I swelled up like a balloon. It's only been 1 month for me, but I am still swollen and partially numb.
I am wondering how is your numbness and sensation? Is it returning, or are you still numb? And how is your talking, is it back to normal?
Thanks

Hello, the swelling did get worse after the first day and peaked around the 3rd and started subsiding afterwards. It has been less than two weeks and the swelling has gone done a lot and there is no more numbness in my chin either. I had tightness in my chin also and that has gone away too. My speech is almost back to normal but a few words do come out a little strange still but seems to be getting better daily.
I hope you start feeling better soon and the swelling goes away. I've read about people that recover very quickly and others who it takes more time than they had hoped. Hang in there and I hope you get the results you had hoped for!

How has it been going since your surgery? Wondering if people noticed or commented back at work. Also wondering if your surgeon told you what size implant you got. Thanks for sharing!

It's been great! My chins feels almost completely normal. My speech is back to normal and no numbness and just a little bit of swelling. No one at work has said anything or looked at my trying to figure something out different about me. I think people in general just don't look that closely at each other. I don't tend to study people's faces and think that may be the case with many. As far as my implant, it was a large with wings. I forgot to ask him what brand but I will try to remember when I see him for my 1 month follow up.

Please let us know, brand, type and size cause they are all very different.

Hi, thanks for sharing your experience. When it comes to size, & type there's a variety to choose? It looks like you have the famous dimple of your chin, did you get to choose that?
April 29, 2014
I've always had the chin dimple so it wasn't part of the implant. I thought an implant would have made it go away, but clearly that wasn't the case!
April 30, 2014
From what I have read, the chin dimple is in the soft tissue in front of the bone. The implant is placed behind the dimple and so it just gets pushed forward. In some instances, the stretching of the skin mellows out the dimple some but for the most part it is not affected.
I also have a dimple and hope to keep it when I get an implant.

Doing it under local was a brave option. I'm surprised the doctor did not automatically offer Valium or some other sedative beforehand!
Anyway, all that is in the past. Great results, and all the best!
