Chin Implant - Finally - Manassas, VA

Just wanted to follow up at 3 months today

WORTH IT$3,700
I know I've closed this review as worth it, but those that have followed know I've had some complications, just thought I'd follow up at the 3 month mark that was June 7th (yesterday by about 45 minutes). My lip is DEFINATELY coming back, no doubt about that, I'd say it is 90% back to normal as of today. Me and my PS are probably the only ones that could even tell the 10% lack of function because we know and are looking for it. If it didn't get any better than this, I'd be fine with it, it would be slightly quirky but ok. The neck, eh, I actually had a very physically exhausting day today where I sweated for hours getting some things done, and I swear I think some of the swelling in my neck went down today, which leads me to believe that the neck issues that have been bothering me will resolve in time. No, I can't turn back time, but I can always do the most I can to feel good at whatever point in my life I'm at, and being I'm seeing 2 men that are 6 and 9 years younger than me respectively, I'd like to hope that its working in my favor, lol.

Hi. What size implant did you end up getting?

And was it the extended anatomical chin implant?

Hi, sorry to hear how difficult the recovery has been. Glad to hear 90% of lip function has come back, hope you get 100% VERY soon! I am considering getting a chin implant, and your very honest and thorough review has given me much to think about. Thank you for being so candid! Take care.

Wow, I'm sorry you had the complications. I know how important a chin implant is when you've had a receding chin. I'm 6 weeks post opt. I love having mine, is such a huge improvement. Fillers will most likely be needed in my case. I have the marionette depressions and really strong muscels which create wrinkles in the chin area. Best wishes to you, thanks for sharing you're experience.

Coming Up on 12 Weeks and ready to finalize this review

BGinVA
I've had a lot of ups and downs with this procedure, my lip is finally recovering slowly, but I have every expectation that all function will return to pre-surgery level over the coming months. I also have a swollen salivary gland in my neck that I'm hoping just got a little traumatized and will settle down as well over the coming months. With all that said, I know I could still use a neck lift, but that will have to wait a little while, but this final before and after comparison sealed the deal, it was DEFINATELY WORTH IT!

BGVa~I just read your review for the first time. Very sorry about your temporary nerve damage. Probably bruised so will heal in time. That is my wish for you. But I have to say that YOU are by far the best writer and wittiest reviewer I have ever read on RS and I have been haunting this site for nearly a yr as I worked up the courage necessary to put my face/ psyche/well being in the hands of someone in lab coat. LOL at your alternative to the valiums you don't like taking. I can relate ....grace

Thanks for the support grace, real self had been my only outlet during this roller coaster ride,so I just use it as of I were talking to a friend since I've not shared this journey with any of my friends in real life.
