New Chin Just in 6/9 - Lake Mary, FL
UPDATED FROM Gturbo
1 week post op
Overall this has been pretty much a walk in the park because of how quick and easy the whole thing went. Apart from one day of dizziness I pretty much had no pain just a bit or tingling and warm feeling around my bottom lip. I did good by choosing to go with an extra large as its been what I was looking for. My advice, to anyone thinking of doing this and are worried or scared, dont be. Its worth it 100% and once you know it you'll be 1 week post op like me.

Hello, do you mind me asking how old you are? Because I'm only 17 and obsessed with getting this done. However is there a recommended age I should wait till?

June 16, 2014
Hi, I am 22. I dont think there is a required age, I think you should be able with a consent of a guardian. Worst case ia you have to wait til you're 18.

So glad to hear that you are doing well! I have my surgery tomorrow and I'm nervous/excited. It's always good to read about positive experiences. Your chin looks amazing, by the way! Are you numb any where?

June 16, 2014
Thank you! Glad I can help. I am numb on the right half of my bottom lip and bottom gums where I still have a little bit of swelling.


June 16, 2014
Super exciting! Its so surreal these counting down days, the day of, and everyday after. So worth it. Looking forward to read about your experience and results! :)

Looking good man. Glad you like the result. My recovery has been pretty simple so far as well. Im at 48 hours post right now. Lots of swelling still.

June 19, 2014
Thanks dude. The recovery has been easy for me as well. On a scale of 1-10 on pain I would rate it 1.5 -2 at most. Hows it going for you? My swellig is mostly gone 10 days post but there is still aome there.

Hey bro is the surgery that notice able after the first day? Just wondering Since I haven't told any of my friends or co worker. Did you have to wear any wrapping? My surgery date in July 3rd

June 12, 2014
Hey. Well to me since I have a full beard and I have an olive complexion you cant really tell I had anything done. I can tell Im a bit swollen but others cant. My brother came over and was sitting right next to me and didnt notice anything. Under my beard I can tell I have at least one bruise only if I look closely in the mirror. I havent told anyone and no one seems to notice. My doctor did put a bandage and some gauze in a wrap around my head but it came off at home. Good luck on your surgery. What size are you getting?
June 12, 2014
It's going to be a medium or large
My Doc Said he will know once we are in surgery, how long till the stitches come out? Lmao did you brother know you had surgery? But overall are you happy with it, cause I'm doing this to get a stronger chin and make my face look more even, making my nose not look not as big

June 12, 2014
You dont get to choose the size? I believe i get them out a week from surgery. He had no idea. Lol. Im happy I got it done and over with. Its still too early to see the final results because of swelling but I can see improvements in my profile. And it defenitley helps balance my big nose out in my face. Lol
June 12, 2014
Yea he said he gonna use sizers and see which look best in surgery. That's what's up ima grow my beard out now and see if I can hid it from my co workers. How's the jaw line looking man?? And has it made a big difference in how you look?

June 12, 2014
The anesthesiologist put me under completely so I didnt feel or see anything. I think twilight wouldve been a bit much lol.

June 12, 2014
Oh I see. My jaw line is pretty much the same since my implant didn't have wings just a little bit of swelling. The chin itself has made a difference on my side profile. Im waiting for it to heal up to lower my beard and see full results. So far im pretty happy with it.
June 12, 2014
So you were under general anesthesia? I had twilight for my wisdom teeth a few months back and I was literally out. So odd! I wonder how my procedure will be like with twilight-- hopefully the same as my wisdom teeth.

June 13, 2014
Yeah i was under general. I didnt want to be half awake knowing what was being done lol


June 12, 2014
Today sucks. Im at work feeling very dizzy and nauseous I think ill be going home soon. Swelling makes me nervous for the chin. I dont know how much is swelling and how much is chin. It feels tingling and burning probably from trying to heal its selfI really just want to see my bed right about now.
June 12, 2014
Oh no! Hopefully you feel better soon. The pills are making you dizzy and nauseous? Which pills are you taking?

June 12, 2014
Thank you! Im home now resting again. Right now only Hydrocodone for the pain arnica for the bruising and celebrex for the inflamation and keflex as an antibiotic.
June 12, 2014
4 pills? Seems like so much. I hate pills!! I think I took hydrocodone before and it made me sick very nauseous too. so hopefully they have something else.

June 12, 2014
Its actually a bit more than 4 pills its i think 6 one for nausea and one for anxiety but i dont take them because i dont feel I need them.
June 12, 2014
Wow that's a lot for a simple procedure! Lol I am hoping to only take a pain med, antibiotic and the arnica
