Chin Augmentation - Houston, TX

I have been researching cosmetic plastic surgery...
WORTH IT$3,400
I have been researching cosmetic plastic surgery since I was in my teens. I had a very undeveloped chin the recession was 8mm's this interfered with my bite. Often when I bit down to chew my food I would bite painfully hard into my cheeks and also I might have grinded my back teeth a bit in my sleep. I need to have genioplasty where they slide the back jaw bone forward after breaking it and screw it back into place, but I didn't want to risk nerve damage. So I opted for a cheek and chin augmentation instead to lift the cheeks and chin away from my mouth enough that my bite wouldn't keep a huge cancor sore inside my mouth. I have a long heartshaped face, sort of narrow and the cheeks filled out the side of my face nicely. My cheek bones where already high just flat and the addiont of about 5mm is pretty. I still want an even wider face at the jaw and I think for the price Dr. Arte Rahgu did a good job. The surgery was performed a few days before valentines, after my birthday. I hate valentine's so my ideal was to be in recovery then. I just passed my 30's, I am 32 and having a midlife crisis so I am trying to beautify myself as much as I can to live a more quality lifestyle. My face is more inbalace the side profile has improved tremendously, but the face I was born with is more narrow than I would like so I want to opt for jaw improvements. I am currently trying to gain a little weight, the surgery does not look fake or plastered after the swelling went down. Also I made use of armica and bromelian to get ride of swelling faster; as well as, tissue grwoth factor by clinician's complex to cover the implants faster. I have three implants in my face, two at the cheeks and one in the chin. My receeding chin was 8mm but the doctor could only insert a 7mm implant without it being custom, into my face. I noticed that as the swelling went down althought he surgery made me look better now the bite has changed a little and something I occasionally make a small nip at the front of my mouth instead of into my cheeks. My teeth match up however, so I am considering doing palate expansion to widen the upper jaw and cheeks of my face in order to further correct the bite problem. And in turn this should widen my face.

I'm happy for you that you were able to do this! I'd love to see photos (even with your eyes blocked out for anonymity). Congrats! :D
