I had a silicone "chimplant" inserted from under my chin (so I have a scar) and I can feel it being there. I feel it when I talk and I am pretty sure it is resting on a couple of nerves because I have tingling still, even after a year later. I am getting it removed next week and will post after!!!!!

I'm glad to hear you have opted to remove the implant if it hasn't been comfortable for you. If you happen to know, I'd love to know the size/thickness of implant that was used.

My implant was medium-sized, about 4 mm.

What day is your removal? I want to be sending you good thoughts on that day - and please don't forget to update us to let us know how you are doing as soon as you feel up to it.

It is on Friday. I will update over the next week and will put pictures of before (no implant) and after (with implant) and then before (removal). I want to share my experience because I know how frustrating it is to go through something like this. I want other people to know that if they want it removed, they're not the only ones!

June 26, 2013

That is definitely important information for people to have, so I'm thankful you are willing to share it. The photos will be really helpful to see as well. Hoping all goes great for you on Friday!

I already feel so much better!! The pain is not that bad. It just feels like soreness/tenderness, but I am a person who can take pain. Tylenol should be fine. I feel like myself again!! I will be posting photos in a few days after I take the tape off. The stitches are absorbable.

So glad to hear!! I hope you are able to rest up over the weekend and catch up on books or movies you are behind on. Looking forward to the pictures!!

You look better after the implant removal. I had been contemplating doing the same, I feel more encouraged to get rid of the damn thing now. Thank you for posting

After chimplant removal

This is only Day 1, so it's a little swollen and tender. I expect it to go down just a tiny bit more. Will post another after in 3 or 4 days.

I just took a look at your pictures. I have to admit I didn't expect to like the look after the implant was removed, but I agree with you, it does look better!

How is your healing going?

July 2, 2013
Healing is a lot easier than when I had it put in. I am not numb, but I am sore where the incision is. However, today (day 4) I have no pain. It's still tender. I am taking antibiotics and I only took pain medicine for the first day and a half.

Sounds like a good recovery, all things considered. I hope it continues to go well. Keep us updated on how you are. :)
