WORTH IT$5,800
Had my procedure this morning under local anesthesia.
Currently in lots of pain, I keep taking Oxycodone every 3-4 hours that my doctor prescribed.
My implant was by Implantech, size Medium, anatomical (without wings). I had LOTS of back and forth on what size and style to choose, hopefully this was the right decision.
I will update tomorrow since today I'm not feeling so well. For now I uploaded some before photos to show my weak/double chin.

I didn't get good sleep, kept waking up. I'm not used to sleeping on my back, plus I tried to keep my head elevated with extra pillow. Tried to use travel U shaped pillow but that wasn't comfortable either.
I woke up pretty hungry but even before I got to eat anything I felt very nauseaus.
I actually felt much better after throwing up. So far I took iburofen 600 mg for pain, I'm a little cautious about percocet, it could be the reason for my nausea. It's really hard to talk and eat because I can barely open my mouth. To be honest, I didn't expect this recovery to be so rough even though I read tons of reviews here on RS. I guess I wasn't as prepared as I thought.
Doctor called to check on me and he was surprised that I was so nauseous. I have his cell# so if something happens I will call him-I really hope this won't be necessary.

Day 2

I woke up with very stiff neck because I couldn't find comfortable position to sleep all night. Sleeping on my back is pure torture!
I didn't think I needed any pain meds until I tried to have breakfast. Opening mouth and chewing is still hard, plus every time I chew compression garment chafes against skin on my neck which is pretty uncomfortable. So I took 3 advils and only then I was able to eat.
Overall my day was pretty uneventful, had a little tingling in my chin but I know it's normal, just means nerves that were stretched during surgery are slowly healing.
I'm taking Arnica and drinking lots of pineapple juice as it supposedly helps with swelling. I'm really hoping for speedy recovery as I'm going back to work in 4 days.
