Regrets Chin Implant

I have never experienced this kind of regret. Regret has become a part of my everyday emotion now. Can someone who has gotten a chinimplant removed please contact me!? I need to remove mine, but i just have a really bad feeling about removing it, like I'll be permanetly disfigured, and that would throw me over the edge. I'm already so mentally unstable as it is. Getting this chin implant has damaged my psyche and it is the worst mistake i have ever made in my entire life. I let my vanity take over, and i had a good chin before. Please can someone reach out to me. I would love to talk to someone who is going through a similar experience, or someone who has already removed their chin implant. I'm desperate :(

The staff was great and everyone was very caring and hospitable. My doctor is a very nice compassionate doctor however my result was unsatisfactory, since the implant was placed crooked and the left side is too low. The result is most important to me, and because my result was subpar I give the overall rating 1 star, even though all other categories excelled. I'm not ready to list the doctor

Hello i am so sorry to hear your bad experince. I experinced something similar toyour situation. I got an impatech extended anatomical silicone chin implant size small 5mm. My doctor told me that it wasnt gonna change my front face neither make my face long. And it did. I kept that implant only 2 days inside my chin. 52 hours/2 nites removed it on the 3th day. I think i can be the first person in the ps history to remove an implant so quik. I cloudnt keep calm. I am a 25 y/o female and that thing made my face masculen and dıdnt even give enough projection and made my face look longer. My doctor and everyone probably read this say i should have waited most of that was sweelling, final result ll be so diffirent etc. It can be true for other ppl but i know rightaway that chin implant was not for me and i ll never ever gonna be happy with it. so i didnt thought about the money that i spent etc. And got it removed. I read that sooner is better in these kind of surgery. My incision was made under the chin. So doctor removed ıt in the same incision. Removal made in my doctors offiece under local anesthesia. It didnt felt any pain at all. Even numbing part was not painfull. It took like 10 min. I felt some blood that was the most uncomfortable part. The ımplant pop out in seconds. So removal was super easy. But the ıf we come to healing process for me ıt ıs not that easy at all. Its been 20 days my chin is still big compering to my original chin. I have lack of movement in the lower lip i cant pull it downwards to show my lower theeth or outwards to make a sad face. My smile is crooked and my lower lip covers all my bottom theeth and some of my upper theeth. I cant open my mouth wide like before. My smile and laugh looks so small abow my huge chin. My smile looks unnatural forced right now. My chin is still so hard ıt looks like it doesnt go along with my face and looks unnatural. Also i got a lot of acnes in my chin which were never there before. All of these effect my speech i talk in a funny weird way and my lower lip doesnt move when i am talking it is really weird. I feell tightness in my chin. Pain sometimes. Numbness right side of my lower lip and chin. When i try to chew big food or talk a lot or try to laugh i feel my muscle is super tight. These are the things so far. It has a little improvement but so slowly. I went to pshycial threapy doctor she told me to wait a month and then came back. I went to a neurology doctor and she took a xray kind of thing to see my muscles and tissues. I ll see her today and get the resluts. right of my chin is worse than left side. İ got the implant in lv seduction and ı wasnt totally asleep and i remember having a staright pain in the right side during the surgery. And that side is worse from the begining. He is a very qualified board cerrificated surgeon but i dont know if he damage a nerve or a muscle. All he says is it ll heal in time and nothing permanant ll happen. But i dont trust his words at all because he is so distant to me since the removal and i dont think he even cares. First he told me it can take a month to heal now he says it can take 3months. Before the surgery he was like this is a really simple surgery i can take out easly anytime. Yeah taking out the implant is easy but healing? You never know whats gonna happen. Doctors here tell; ıf your ımplant is small ıf ıts silicone ıf the incision made under the chin if you are young ıf the implant stayed in for a little amount of time ıf your surgeon is board certificated; everything gonna be back to pre operation in a short time. So in my case altough i have all these things is the list, i am not healed and dealing with all these bad outcomes. Maybe i am the first to have these ıdk. I can ınform you with my healing processes and how things are going. You can pm me anytime. Beside all of these things i am so glad i removed it. I never regret removing it, i regret having it in the first place. So if you really hate your implant i think you should remove it. And also did you have lack of movement in your lower lip like i had or any problems with smiling?

Problem child have you sought professional counseling yet? You sound dangerously depressed. I am so sorry you feel this way but more important than removal is getting your live back together and getting yourself functioning again. My heart goes out to you you can not let this ruin your life, people survive and thrive after the worst kinds of humiliation, disfigurement, and rejection. You will too. You will come out of this stronger and more self-aware and that will draw a better class of people to you. You will rebuild your life better because you have suffered and survived. Please seek professional counseling immediately if you have not already.

Did you end up removing it? I went through the same regrets. I had to seek counseling. I just removed mine and now worry how it will look.

Chin implant BIGGEST REGRET OF LIFE. Lost and losing hope

P
ProblemChild
I need to write this review for my own sanity. I have no one to talk to and feel so alone. I got a chin implant which I hate and totally regret. I'm just really scared about removing it and looking horrendous with a gross, saggy chin. I'm a young good-looking guy and I had a great chin before and RUINED IT with a crooked implant which sits too low on one side. I look back on old pictures and get overwhelmed with sadness and don't know why I would've ever underwent surgery on my chin. It was the BIGGEST and WORST decision of my life. Even the nurses at the doctors office were telling me not to do this because I was cute the way I was but i was stupidly persistant. Now if i remove it, i'm left with the risk of permanent deformity and sagginess which is absolutely so depressing. I just wish I had my natural and defined chin back. I'm so stupid!!!!! The reason I got it is because someone I was in love with started cheating on me and I thought I could win them back by enhancing myself... what a HUGE FAIL and idiotic choice that was!! I lost my job and have been so depressed and I haven't been able to build up the motivation to get a new one and my finances are so strained. If I do remove the implant and something goes wrong, theres no way I'd be able to afford to fix it. I worry that something like that would set me over the edge. Luckily I am starting to see a psychologist so hopefully they can help me and tell me what I should do. I just don't think I'll ever be happy with this chin implant but I need money to move ahead with anything. I've literally read every single chin implant removal story on this website multiple times... its become my (alberit VERY unhealthy) obsession. I message so many users on this site asking them about their removals but everyone usually ignores me/doesn't check their emails and I haven't gotten a response from anyone in several months *sigh*. Words can't begin to express the amount of regret I feel and I'm falling into a deep dark hole that I can't get out of. I would never ever reccommend a chin implant unless you have a serious deformity and are very much lacking a chin, because I definitely didn't need it and did it out of vanity and it ruined my life and damaged my psyche. I was confident and happy and a social butterfly with many friends before this surgery and now I'm a fragile and depressed lone hermit who doesn't work or socialize. Thank god I have a dog who still loves me and makes me smile every once in awhile.



PS - Does anyone know if theres any charity organizations that could help me out financially if I remove the implant and something disastrous happens that I need money to fix? I just know that if something goes wrong and I'm left with a serious deformity on my chin after removal that I won't have the confidence to go out and get a job as I'm already severely depressed as it is. This is all just so humiliating and I bet its hard for people to feel sympathy for me when I did this to myself! GAAAHHHHHHHHH! Sad, sad boy :'-(

I wish I could develop a relationship with God because maybe He could help me through these dark times.

Regretting my Chin Implant and Desperately Needing Someone to Talk to

P
ProblemChild

I totally 100% regret my chin implant. I didnt need it and did it out of complete vanity. The result was mediocre at best, and I'm having an adverse emotional reaction to it. My life is falling apart now. I became extremely depressed, lost my job, lost my friends, lost my reputation, lost my home and everything is ruined. Now I'm trying to figure out how to muster up the funds to remove this chin implant so hopefully I can pick myself back up and stop being so depressed everyday and move past this living nightmare. After the removal, I'm praying to God that nothing goes wrong because I literally am way too broke for something bad to happen. I would love if someone could reach out to me who is also going through chin implant/plastic surgery regrets. I feel so alone and have no one to talk to :(

I'm so sorry you're going through this and I hope you're getting great support from the community. I know many people who have decided to get their chin implant removed and there is a great doctor thread with more information on chin implant removal. Please don't hesitate to reach out.
