You look stunning!!!!! I would never notice your asymmetry if you didn't point it out, even still, it's hard to spot. You sound like you're really progressing :) I am so happy for you!

Thanks, that's a relief! No one has said anything to me in person, so perhaps I'm the one obsessing over it and others don't really notice... I hope ;)

Your dimple is really cute by the way :) I have a bit of a cleft in my chin now some of my friends have commented on. I've have comments like, "it's cute, did your surgeon give it to you?" I never noticed it before the surgery, but my mom said it's always been there. I guess it flew under the radar with my receded chin and now it's out in full force. Ha!

Thank you! My dimple looked sooo deep after the first few days, but it's flattened out a bit as the swelling has gone down. So maybe don't get too attached to your newly discovered cleft, just in case it's partly due to swelling and eventually fades a bit! But probably also the angle of your new chin brings in out too!

I think it's the new, now chin is out in full force, angle that's displaying it : P. And if it were to flatten out I'd be happy about that. But if it stays I won't be upset. It's part of the new me :) my new nose still has a tiny hump in it, real small. And it also points to the left (it probably always has but I just never took pictures from my chin straight up my nose before). It just goes to show you plastic surgery doesn't guarantee perfection and we all still have our little quirks that make us unique :)

Looks great! The assymetry has really improved a lot!

It's getting there, but it just seems soooo slooooww...! lol im getting impatient!!! but I know, I know, "6 months to see full results"... ;)

It just seems like u never know how it's gonna go. Some people heal quickly and others take longer

You have great teeth btw :)

Thanks! I had braces over the summer, and it was impossible to get them 100% straight, I'm happy they improved but disappointed at the same time - but I never thought I'd hear someone complimenting my teeth! It's part of my extreme 30th birthday makeover lol

I didn't notice any imperfections, but I actually hate teeth that are 'too' perfect, they look fake.

Healing, but the pace has slowed down a lot!
The first two or three weeks healing seemed to happen quite fast, every day there was a slight change in swelling or bruising or movement. But now the pace of changed has slowed significantly!
On the positive side, the rest of my muscles seem to have come mostly unfrozen. I still can't move my left side quite as much as my right, but at least I can move it! My muscles seem to pull to the right. And I still have an area around the lower left that I don't have full feeling, still a bit numb and there is still a bump in that area causing asymmetry. Sometimes I freak out and think the implant is crooked there, but I can definitely feel a bump over the implant - it's like a really really big deep pimple but it's not at all sensitive or painful, it's a hard lump. I give it another month before I can my doctor in a panic...
Another positive is that my smile has come back almost 100%! It still feels tight and is not quite as big as it is normally, but I can show my teeth and it's looking more and more natural. I don't feel the implant at all anymore, not even when I laugh or yawn.
The scar is still quite raised, but the bump around the area is much smaller and getting softer.

It's amazing how simple and straight forward this procedure is, yet how complex the recovery can be. Hope you continue to recover well, your photos look fantastic!

Thanks! Yes, it really is a roller-coaster ride! You have to expect the unexpected. But I don't regret it for a second!!

Your after pictures look great! We have very similar profiles. I hope to be able to have this done someday. Thank you for sharing your story!
