Sliding Genioplasty - 20yr Old Female - Mississauga, ON

Can't believe it's been over a year! I sometimes forget I had surgery, I feel like this has always been my face. Still super satisfied with my results. I still check realself pretty often, so send a message if you have any questions or concerns about the surgery or recovery

Yesterday I went to Square One to kill some time, and realized that the last time I was in the area was for my surgery (which was weird to me, because I used to be there all the time when I was taking classes). I can't believe I actually did it, and I can't wait for summer, I'll be out all the time showing off this new face :D Before my surgery I was a pretty numb person, I had nothing I liked, and just lived life doing the things I was told I should do. This surgery gave me the confidence to try aerial silks and it's changed everything. I finally understand all the people I went to high school with who had passion for things like dancing, figure skating, rock climbing, etc. There was a cheerleader who was constantly getting hurt, but would return when she healed and I just couldn't understand why, but now I do. I knew about the circus school for years and could never bring myself to sign up, but I'm so happy I did, and it would have never happened without this surgery. And now that I'm passionate about something, I really want to lose the extra 20lbs I've been carrying around, and maybe that will help define my jaw a little bit more. Even if it doesn't though, I'm so much happier now than I have ever been

So here's another picture, in this one I'm not wearing any makeup or using any filters (lighting sucks because my skin tone matched the wall so I had to face away from the lights). Healing has been great, I still have a little numbness in my gums and the inside of my lip, so I sometimes drool if I'm leaning over to do something (I can't feel the saliva build-up until it reaches the edge of my lip). This surgery has definitely been worth it for me, but I just want to give a warning, I never used to look in the mirror much, but now I'm always admiring my chin so I'm seeing myself more and always noticing little flaws, lately I'm always thinking of what I'm going to fix next and I think that could be very dangerous for a lot of people who may already be insecure about their features. Growing up my chin was the only thing I had a problem with, and it was only me who pointed out how awful it was, so I knew it was something that I wanted to fix for myself. But now I'm pointing things out, wondering what other people think about it, things I never used to be worried about. Please make sure anything you do is for yourself. I'm super happy with my chin, but I think I would regret it if I went through with any of the other surgeries I've been pondering
