Chin Implant Too Big and Pointy - Houston, TX

Well I think is too big and not only me but my family too my face have change a lot I feel like is not me anymore. Sept. 12 2013 I have a revision. I told my Dr. To remove it but he says he is going to put a medium size but I am scare the M size still is going to make a change in my face and I don't want that also my lips have change a lot. I just want to be me again talk, eat properly and my before appearance. If I remove it since I'm going the implant only for 4 weeks can someone tell me if my smile, speech etc. are going to be the same and how long do I have to wait or what size should I choose since I don't want my face to chance I just want a little improvement in my profile. I'm so depressed

My advice is don't have a surgery to replace it if what you really want deep down is to go back to your old look. I made the mistake of allowing a doctor revise the chin implant I had (which I didn't even mind that much) - i ended up with something worse. It was my fault and i wish I had been strong enough to be firm on this point - sometimes it's easy to waiver when professional opinion is telling you to go a different route. My lesson was: don't be indecisive when getting surgery. At this time, you might want to take a step back and think about what you really want. The last thing you need is to get that replacement chin implant revised. I'd imagine your surgeon is worried you won't be satisfied with your natural small chin... but remember, it's totally up to you! Also, don't be too swayed by what family members say (either way, they will get used to your new look).

Totally agree with Unoq....solid advice. My own desire for "perfection" and wanting the doctor to get it "right" influenced me to keep trying. Also, the doctor continued to say that it was a simple "adjustment" ....all he had to do was shape the implant a bit more, make it a little smaller. I wanted to believe I made the right decision and I believed what he was telling me. In hindsight, I should have stopped....cut my losses after the first one and just had it removed. I would have saved myself thousands of dollars, emotional trauma and years of not feeling like "myself". Take your time...and really evaluate what your gut, your heart is saying:)

hi ellasobsession, may i ask what your chin implant history is? did you have an under the chin incision for each one or did they go through the mouth?

3 implants omg!!! How did the medium side look on you? Did it make a big difference from the L and tell me about the other one what happen? What make a big change in your face? What about the small one?

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:)

Well thank you for your words... Actually I started to like already only that is little and you can see a break between my jawline and my new chin

Did your lips change? Does it feel tight because my feel really tight I don't know if it is because is too big

What about your smile my is the ugliest one right now that's I think I'm going to remove it and I have the appointm Thursday next week

With a medium my smile was strange for about a week. It still felt tight after about 2 weeks but didnt look bad. i am now one month post op and my smile is about 97% back to normal.
