The places you will go
$3,814
Here are the pics from surgery day.
The "grumpy" me waiting in the pre-sx area. Behind me is the register desk. Waiting for them to call me to review my sx detail cost and collect $$.( The first time, they collect $$ before l showed up on sx day. I think l paid a few days before, by credit card. On sx day, they reviewed costs and gave me the receipt.)
The second is the waiting area, where you sit until they call your name and into intake area.
The 3rd is my lovely intake room, where l sat for hours. At least they go free wifi. " Mt sinai guest" but l didn't get phone service, had to go out close to the waiting area. Ugh. I have t mobile.
Sorry no op waiting room, all my stuff was in sealed blue striped bags left in recovery area.
Here is the lovely recovery area l woke up to with no nausea! Hurray! There is a nurse in charge of your care. If you need something, ask.(IF YOU FIND YOURSELF NAUSEA AND IN PAIN THERE IS NO HURRAY TO LEAVE. JUST STAY TILL YOU ARE ABLE TO SIT UP AND GET DRESSED, AND WALK.) THIS RECOVERY AREA "CLOSES" AROUND 11PM BUT IF YOU STILL NOT YOURSELF, THEY WHEEL YOU TO THE OTHER AREA, WHERE YOU CAN RECOVERY W/ A NURSE IN CHARGE OF YOU. DON'T WORRY
Here l am. Yay, no man chin!
I was able to get dressed and go to the bathroom by 9pm and,felt great, no nausea or pain, so l called my DH to come pick me up. And to call me when he was here. They "close" the,area l'm in @11pm, so the nurse told me to have my DH drive to 5th Ave entrance and an orderly wheeled me to the car. Yeah. (BUT a man next to me was in pain so they wheeled him to the other recovery area. Fear NOT, they don't throw you out. ) yah!!

@CdOsmond The Joel pockets are gone and my chin is back to normal.
I am no longer self conscious and my life goes,on. Been busy, kids graduating and my phone died. So l have to get new pics up. Only downside is l got pixie ears from the revision. The stitches,to tack the skin didn't stay, so l have some discomfort occasionally, but other than that l don't obsess like l use to when l had the chin implant.
Last month DH said "You really do look younger, and thoses,hanging skin you were talking are gone." So l was glad bc b4 he said l looked the same. Only thing l didn't tell him l need to get my ears fix. I had to cancel it bc my kids grad. party. Sux to out myself last.

MY CHIN EXPLANT SURGERY FINALLY!!!
At 11MPO, l'm finally going to get an explant and whatever tightening they need to do to remove my saggy jowl pouches,and loose skin after explant. I shoe up @registar and sign in. And wait, until 1/2 hr later,they call me to review procedures and payment. (If it your first time here, you pay in advance, credit card accepted. Lol) It was $3814. If you get implants, or other accessories , that's,extra. REMEMBER TO DISCUSS COST @ CONSULT. so there is no surprises. When l was considering a replacement implant, it was $198, but wasn't told @ consult, so it was a surprise.
I waited another 1/2 hr, until they call your name to head to the back for intake. IF YOU GET YOUR PRE OP TEST DONE BY YOUR DR, MAKE SURE YOU BRING A COPY, IN CASE THEY DON'T HAVE IT IN YOUR FILE. HAPPENED TO ME. Get dressed in gown and sit for hours, till they call you again to walk towards the OR WAITING AREA. They have wifi, mt sinai guest.
All your belonging are left in the recovery area. In the OR waiting area, you sit in your gown and netted cap, n peds. Watching HGTV,l sat for 2+hrs there. There is a nurse there, so you can inquire what time, your,dr will be available for sx. Thankfully this time, was scheduled for 12, in by 2ish, so not bad. Here the or nurse reviews all procedure n your bame, then anesthiologist does the same.REMEMBER TO REMIND ANESTHIOLOGIST, IF GET NAUSEA W/ GA. He told me also a positive thought, that he'll do a good job and l ll be fine helos. It did. Then the dr, dr taub, and how many 4th, 5th yr,resident show up. I had 3 residents,observing. We went over what l wanted done, and express my concern about loose chin skin and droop from once implant is gone and my pouches of jowls.
So the plan was to explant, tighten loose skin, and lipo jowl area and under chin.
Walked to the OR, he marked my pouches,and off to sleep l went. Woke up in recovery.
I posted pics of the waiting areas and recivery.

9MPO Continued
Here is the other chin implant options
Stryker MEDPOR polyethylene porous 2 piece Contoured or button chin. In Medpor, l was leaning towards the contoured since it has the smallest (3mm) projection w/ the wings trimmed. Even their button implant (4mm) small was bigger.
THE ONE I HAVE IS THE TWO-PIECE CHIN IMPLANT MEDIUM (7MM) w wings trimmed off.

Thank you. Yes, l am still swelling, l was hoping it go away sooner, so l can see the end results. Been busy @ homelife, so no time to take proper pics. All blurry and not enough details.
I wish other gals who went would post so ppl can access for themselves if it is worth it. But l guess if you're happy, life goes on.
Thank you fir your kind words
