I remember the first time I realized that I disliked my profile; I was in middle school slicking back my pony tail using another mirror to see the back and sides. I was devastated. How pretty I had felt on the inside didn't match on the outside. I always hated candid shots of myself - double chins, neck fullness, weak jaw. I have always been in shape - currently 130 lbs. - this is an unfortunate genetic trait. I loved loved loved looking at Korean plastic surgery - not because I wanted it at the time - I just thought it was fascinating and impressive. The more I looked the more I saw people often had jaw work done, which eventually lead me to researching chin augmentations. Bingo! I saw a bit of myself in so many others weak chin photos, and knew it was the procedure for me. RealSelf just fanned the flame :)
I have set my date for the end of April and it is crazy to believe I am actually doing it! Dr. Delgado has recommended neck lipo in addition to the implant. This will be my first plastic surgery, so I am trying not to freak myself out, because I know I will be so happy a month or two post. I have to remember this is for me only - I look forward to the day when I don't have to constantly focus on keeping my chin high. I photoshop for a living and love photoshopping myself with a tighter neck and stronger chin. I will attach a quick render I did! Counting down the days.

Pre-Op and Supplements
Had my pre-op and the team has me feeling really excited! Dr Delgado plans on using a medium implant on me. I stopped taking all blood thinning supplements (fish oil, vitamin e, ibuprofen, alcohol) and started the one month "Vita-Medica recovery support" supplement system (provided by the office) which consists of AM vitamins, PM vitamins, bromelain for 3 days before surgery, and arnica after. Having all my perscrips filled: antibiotic, anti nausea, pain killer, and suggested stool softener because of pain killers. Picked up Tylenol as well since I won't be able to take ibuprofen.

I chuckled when I read "accidental selfie" I've been there, they are not the most flattering of selfies! Your big day is just around the corner -- I'm excited for you!

Good luck for tomorrow! You look like you don't need a big implant from your first picture before the one you photoshopped. (I personally believe the photoshopped version is too much of a change & not v feminine) but I'm sure your doc will do what's right for you. Hope all goes well & especially thanks for the info on what vitamins you're taking!

Thanks! No problem! And I personally love women with strong chins; Blake lively, Megan fox, Allison Williams, Angelina... Etc etc. I believe it gives a strong womanly look, so I am very excited! To each their own :)

Day of treatment
Out of Surgery
Went by in a flash. Super sore chin, neck feels totally fine from lipo. Just writing a quick and groggy update. Dr Delgado's team may have been the best medical team I have ever experienced. All so caring, hilarious, and thorough. Will update more later!

Bookmarking you! Been too freaked out about the possible negatives to pull the trigger. Appreciate extreme detail and tons & tons of photos lol. I'm a male with same basic pre-surgery chin situation as you. Also look completely fine from the front. Just like you. Have been afraid my front view will change adversely from an implant. And you're right. Strong Chins are attractive on both genders. All the most beautiful people have chins that "jut" out really far. Even women.

Aw! I personally think men cannot go wrong in the chin implant department. Men look SO good. I read recently most men actually wish their chin implant was bigger afterward, and women wish theirs was a bit smaller. Even when my doctor was showing me the different implants, the selection for masculine implants is far greater, which I thought was very telling!
