Sorry to hear about your stress. It is a bit early still so give it some time. you'll be surprised how different it appears in a month or so. That being said I get the impression you have a standard anatomical implant without lateral extensions. I can't say for sure but you may ask your surgeon about the type and size of the implant. It's still early so try not to stress too much and be patient. Dr. Chase Lay

I had a chin implant put over 7 weeks ago and it was to large and started to deform (it was in crooked, and I was getting a deep indentation on the top of the implant). Mine was a M and I asked for a small, but they said there would be no visible difference. So I just it removed at 5 weeks. So it has been a little over two weeks since I had it removed. I actually have scar tissue from the chin implant that looks like a smaller version of the implant I had. I am happy enough with just the scar tissue right now. But the scar tissue is not perfect because it was in crooked. I asked the my Dr. if the scar tissue would go away and he told me it would never go away. Told me to massage the imperfections in the scar tissue. But am very numb and can barely close my mouth right now. Hope I will heal properly.

I had my implant removed six weeks ago because everyone said I looked weird. Now I don't know what to think when I see my face. As you mentioned the scar tissue has created some augmentation, but I just can't get comfortable with my face. How are you doing?

I don't regret removing it...but I myself regret getting it. I had some of my friends say they really liked it but I did not. When it started distorting my chin and I found out if was crooked and the office was not flexible enough to work with me to put in a smaller one, I just decided to remove it. I think the scar tissue along with my mentalis muscle is what was distorting my chin implant. Enen with it out I still have a deep crease at the top of where the chin implant was, which I think is scar tissue or the way the surgeon sutured me. But can not close my mouth yet and one side of my lip is crooked. I think my Dr. resuspended my muscle to tight.

Hello did your scar tissue resolved? Did your crooked places in the chin become normal after the removal? Or is it still crooked? İ got my implant removed and my chin is still huge and i really want my old chin:( how is yours

to the op I think you look fantastic, there is nothing wrong with your chin, I suggest you give it time to adjust to your new look being trying to "fix" it. You look fantastic. A huge improvement from where you were. I wish I knew who your doctor was, because I would go to him/her.

If I was you I would be trilled with your results.. Your nose looks awesome too. Your profile is perfect!!! I am honestly baffled by your complaints. You look so beautiful. Can you tell me who your doctor was? I am looking for chin implant and nose revision surgery.

I think you look great! I am 5 months post op, had a large put in, and the swelling was still there after 3 months... My recommendation is give it some time... At least 4 months. Your mind is playing tricks on you because you have been looking at yourself in the mirror all of your life and now all of a sudden u look different. My surgeon told me it takes about 6 weeks for your brain to adjust to the change in the way you look... And to be honest, it was right around the 6 month mark that I wasn't obsessing over my face anymore. I think your results look amazing for 3 weeks out. I can post more pictures of myself throughout the weeks so you can see the progress... It's amazing how much swelling is still thee at 3 weeks.

Nervous

Shorty26September 9, 2013
I'm so nervous about my chin implant revision on Thursday 12 my chin implant is too big for me I found out that is XL size and I'm so disappointed with the results I never talked with my dr about the size and now I assumed my responsibility for not asking. But my Dr. Says he recommend me a M size since I told him I don't want a change in my front just a little improvement in my profile but I'm not sure what to do if remove it or M size ? I had a really weak chin now it's too big so I don't know. Can someone told me how many mm is M size and if the M size made a noticeable change from front.

Big chin

Shorty26September 1, 2013
Sept. 12 2013 I have the appointment for my nose and chin implant and my Dr. Told me he is going to put a medium size is there a big difference between L and M size. Since I don't want a change in my front just little improvement I don't know if M size still is going to make a difference in may face that's is why I prefer to remove it. And I would like to know if my Dr remove it how long is going to take for my sensation and my numb lip is going to be normal?

My face is small like yours...so none of them have looked good on me. They are fine from the side profile but from the front view my pretty chin lost its shape. NO!!, from the large to the medium to the small one there wasn't that much difference...I hated all of them:( I dont know why exactly....they just dont work for my face. Perhaps because my face is small...the placement was never "right". From the front view it really changed my face, I dont look like myself...I liked the way I looked before. I j ust wanted a tiny bit of projection, thats it. Im having this last one, the smallest one taken out asap. Im just researching trying to find a doctor who has removed a lot of these. Because mine has been in since 5 years ago the doctor will have to treat the skin because it got stretched out. Thats why I say, dont wait have it removed now. If you keep reading you'll see there are not that many people that are happy with chin implants. Like I've said before....If I can save one person by sharing my nightmare chin implant experience then it will be worth it. Peace:)

Your implant seriously looks amazing. It's only been a couple of months? Mine took over a year to completely heal, I say wait to see if you like it better. Its always shocking for the first year. You look sooooooooo much better with it I think it's perfect

I got a medium and i am happy with my size it didnt change the front to much and i love how i look from the side now. Not to big but not to small i am almost one month post op and i hated it at first but that was due to numbness which is gone now. Talk with your PS and ask about different sizes like i side i got a medium and i love it.
