32, Finally Ready for a Pretty Profile - Miami, FL

Hi RS! I'm here for a quick update. My chin is healing quite nicely...still have quite a bit of swelling, but it feels in place. I have dimpling or "pebble chin" which is a lot more noticeable with my implant, so my PS did 1cc of Botox and it looks fantastic!

As for my nose...it looks really good. The tip is still a little numb and I have started waking up with pain again, so I'm guessing it is healing. My tip is sooooo huge in the mornings. I asked my PS..."why is it even bigger than before?" and he said "it just takes time", so I am just being patient.

Here are the pictures my PS took and posted to his site. I hope you like. I'll update again once my chin swelling has subsided more. Also, I got new glasses for my new nose :) Can't wait till they arrive!

Thanks again for all of your support. Happy Healing!

Hello RS!! I'm so happy to update you all. I FINALLY had my chin revision surgery (left wing was out of pocket) on Thursday (9/1). I am very happy and super thrilled for my final results. It hasn't been easy. They say you don't swell as much, but that is far from the truth, for me anyway. I have a head that looks like a box...lol. My surgeon was so kind and did my revision surgery complimentary. He said it was a little difficult as my bone tissue had started to cover the implant, and this time around he secured the implant with sutures (My implant was placed intra-orally and normally, they create a secure pocket and the implant should fit perfectly into it). I am in a bit pain and it is still a little difficult to sleep, but it's worth it!

The Nose! I am loving the results. I feel like I have the ever shrinking nose. When I wake up in the morning, it still gets bulbous but dissolves as the day goes on. My tip still has quite a bit of swelling and is still numb to the touch, but I'm starting to get tingling, you know, like the feeling right before your leg falls asleep, and I hear that's good news :). The nerves are regenerating. I literally have had ZERO issues with my nose. I've had one sinus issue in 6 months (normally it's more) and I love that I can breathe out of both nostrils. My only thought is, I may need my alar base reduced a little more, however, I won't know for sure until the swelling goes away b/c with my cast, they looked great, but once the swelling kicked in, they flared like crazy (see photo above). Here's hoping it's just swelling.

Here are some photos over the last few months. I will update with you all with current photos once my chin heals. Happy Healing!

Hello Beauties! Sorry I've been MIA...work...ugh! It has officially been 3 months and here's what's been happening... My nose is coming along beautifully, I am loving the shape it is taking, however, my tip is still swollen, painful and numb to the touch. I have the dreaded uneven swelling, but it doesn't bother me since I am the only one who notices it. I do have keloid scaring within my alar base, but I think it is getting better over time. I am going to try to set an appointment to talk to my PS about options for better healing remedies. My chin...with great regret I have to say, I am going to have to have a revision. Unfortunately, the implant shift is permanent and can only be fixed with revision. I have a pre-op scheduled for July 21st (revision in August). My PS will do X-rays and discuss a revision plan. Honestly, it isn't very noticeable (only my closest friends can see it), but it is extremely uncomfortable. It shifts daily which creates a tension pain. I can also feel the implant against my bottom gums and I find myself constantly contorting my face or pushing my tongue between my lip and my gums for some comfort. I wish my revision could be sooner, but a longer healing time will make for a better revision surgery. All in all, I have zero regrets. I really like the way my face looks and once my implant is in place, I know I am going to love my profile! Thank you ladies for following my journey and any/everyone, please feel free to make any comments or ask me any questions. Happy Healing!
