scar issues

WORTH IT$5,800
I went to see my PS for my follow-up appointment. I told him that I don't like the way my scar looks, he agreed that it's not flat and lumpy. He injected small dose of steroid (0.2mg) to reduce bumpiness. He said I may need total of 3 injections, 4-6 weeks apart. So my next appointment is in a month. Keeping my fingers crossed!

Hi, I had the same thing you had done 5 weeks ago!! I hate my front view!! My jowls look larger, face looks longer with small lips and chin looks completely different. He used the smallest implant!! How many weeks did you feel like you looked normal from the front? Did you have the same concerns as I did? Thanks
February 27, 2017
I'm still getting used to seeing my face from the front, it just looks so different to me. I'm not saying it looks bad, just different. So definitely takes a while. At the same time, I don't regret the implant, I love how it looks from the side.
how are you doing otherwise?who was your doctor?

Yes your side view looks fantastic! I am like you I'm trying to deal with the front view. I didn't want my front view to change at all and told the PS this!! Comparing before pictures I had more of a heart shape face, now looks square. I just hope it is still some swelling @ 6 weeks and it's not my jowls showing!! Go to Dr in a few days so hopefully he will tell me it's still swollen. I think I'm going to use the bio oil instead of aquarfor/Vaseline. Has anyone noticed your face change that didn't know you had this work done? My good friend noticed immediately last week and just kept saying you have done something to your face and it wasn't like you look refresh!

Hello did your jowls and squareness of your face return to normal?? I got the same problem! Pls let me know
September 27, 2017
I ended up getting my implant out in March. It isn't square anymore! I am still
feeling the nerve endings and my scar still has not flattened out! It's been about 6 months since implant was taken out and it seems my chin feeling and scar is taking forever to heal and flattened. Hope yours gets better in time. I guess you really have to be patient whether u keep implant r take it out. It's been a long stressful 9 months!! I will definitely do my research if I ever decide to do anything else with plastic surgery in the future!!! Good luck and keep me posted!

Oh i am so happy for you!! How about jowls did they get any better? You said they were looking heavyier i guess. I am asking so many questions i know but the same exact thing happened to me. And now my chin jawline feels kind of squashy and puffy not as tight. So i wonder how others feel. I hope the very very best for you and all my sisters who suffered from this<3

I feel like my jowls still puff out, but definitely the chin is back like it was before (heart shape). I'm still hoping the jowls will get better in time. I still wear a jaw brace time to time and mederma scar gel every night!! I never thought I still would feel nerve endings and my scar has not flattened out after 6-9 months. I wish I had done more research before going thru all this pain, money and not getting the results!! I think I will just grow old gracefully!!!! I hope yours will look better in due time. Keep me posted.

Thank you so much i am so happy you got your heart shape back! This squareness is killing me! I hope i get mine back some day. I ll keep posting. Hope you the very best

I think your new chin looks great! I’m having [RS bleep] Implant & lipo with the same medium 9mm Implant! How is your chin and scar issues doing now?

I also have a small scar under my chin and its lumpy. I had surgery last month, so I think I should wait at least a year because its not that noticeable. How do the steroids reduce bumpiness?

adding some before and after
love how my neck looks now, no more double chin
and I actually gained some weight since taking before pics, but you can't even tell from my face/neck

Your lipo turned out great! The scar is probably an easy thing to smooth over but it’s not too bad... overall looks good :-)

Wow, you looks WORLDS better! Whatever little complaints you have (like the scar or whatever) honestly pale in comparison to the massive improvement in the angles and aesthetics of your facial structure! Congrats on an amazing outcome, and don't even worry about that dumb scar. Go on a quick vacation to Hawaii or somewhere fun, post a few blurry Facebook/Instagram pictures of your face with some blood (ketchup) on your chin over the scar, and say you got cut on a rock while diving into the ocean or something - bam! Instant alibi. Nobody even needs to know. Honestly it's a tiny trade-off for such a vast improvement, and the scar will only fade more with time. Congrats again!

doing well
1257anonFebruary 1, 2017
I haven't updated in a while. So far I'm doing pretty well. Yesterday I decided to take pics in order to update this review and noticed that my chin is more pointy, almost triangular shaped. The scar is pretty visible and not flat.
What do you think?

I think you look fantastic! I think that we are all in danger of fixating on things that aren't really an issue because we have dreamt of the changes and imagined how we will look after surgery. Just keep looking back at the before pictures and put them side by side with your new profile - it's a fab result. Be kinder to yourself - you deserve it! I'm having my rhinoplasty and chin implant on 10th October - I can't wait but trying to be realistic about outcome and to realise that I probably won't see the true result for quite a few months afterwards.

thank you!
My profile definitely looks better
good luck with your procedures! You must be anxious, Oct 10 seems far away

I am very anxious but also excited! I've waited this long as I have children and I wanted them to both be at university before I had the procedures. From the beginning of October I will have an empty nest so I'm going for it then!
I think my scar is getting flatter after that steroid shot.
