YoungMaleGot ChinImplant - HugeMistake. I NowWant ItRemoved! AnyoneGoingThroughSimilarExperiencePleaseMessageMe. Los Angeles, CA
So I was feeling quite depressed and I thought...
As time went on, I started to like the result less and less, as it was placed crooked and I just felt weird about having something foreign added inside my face. It wasn't up until my roommate saw my surgery papers and told people that I started to have an extreme adverse emotional reaction to the implant. I am a gay male and since people found out, I have experienced extreme rejection and humiliation from an entire community. I have become extremely depressed and often think about suicide as a result. I used to be a popular guy and used to have many friends but I have lost most of my friends and spend most of my time alone. I am now procrastinating the removal as I'm scared about what it may look like afterwards. I'm scared that I'll be left deformed, with chin ptosis, or a dimpled gross chin. If anyone is going through the same experience, or has gotten a chin implant removed, please message me. I will anxiously be waiting for your response. Ive had this stupid thing in for 10 months now.

I'm so sorry this has been such a negative experience for you. :( Definitely do your research on surgeons for removal and go on several consults if you can. Keep us posted!
Chin Implant Removal
I had a chin implant just over 2 years ago. I wanted to keep the procedure a secret, but unfortanutely because i had an unsatisfactory result, I had been emailing back and forth with my doctor deciding whether I should remove or revise the implant. I had a fairly good masculine chin to begin with and I feel like a total IDIOT for letting vanity take over to convince me that a little "enhancement" would do me well. WHAT A HUGE MISTAKE!!! Beause of these emails between my doctor and I, a "friend" (aka frienemy) started spying on them and read EVERYTHING! This has been completely and emotionally devastating for me as I wanted to keep this a secret at ALL COSTS!! This person has gone around telling everyone and rumours about me are now flying. I now have friends texting me being like "OMG is your chin fake!?!?" "Did you have a chin job!?!?" "Do you have a fake chin!?!?" etc. This is just soooooo humiliating for me. The reason for this review is I want to hear from people who have gotten their chin implant removed. I'm so desperate to reverse what I did but at the same time I am absolutely terrified of a negative outcome. I just know that I could never be mentally prepared for something to go wrong (ie chin ptosis, pocket contracture, dimpling, etc) and a botched result upon removal would be enough to push me over the edge. So PLEASE if there is anyone out there who has undergone a chin implant removal, please contact me. I'm in dire need for some help and my life has never been worse!

Regretting my Chin Implant and Desperately Needing Someone to Talk to
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.
After having my malar cheek implants removed after 8 years I have also been depressed. I don't like going out anymore and really dislike my appearance now.
If you could post some before/after pics I'll let you know what I think of the implant.
Good luck and stay strong, you'll figure it out.
Yes, it really sucks losing all your friends because of having plastic surgery. People are judging me in the harshest ways. Honestly, I'm just waiting to be put on the despicable website "the dirty.com". That would be so embarrassing and probably be enough to push me over the edge. I made a HUGE mistake and shouldve never gotten this done. It's ruined my life and my reputation. Before this chin implant I was also considering cheek implants, but I will NEVER put another implant in my body. If i want augmentation, fillers are the way to go. I just don't think implants are a good permanent solution, especially for young patients like you and I.
I know a few girls who have been targeted in there. The way they had the posts removed was to tell the site's owner your pictures were taken when you were underage. I do t know if that could work for you if ou are targeted.
You were right not to want to put your pics up, unless you edit them, images from this site do end up in google images under the tags you indicate here.
