Hey everyone! Just wanted to update everything's great. Still wake up sore but nothing to be alarmed about. It also still feels funny to the touch underneath my chin. I am using vitamin E oil and silicon strips my doctor gave me on my scar. I'm still sleeping on a wedge pillow + temperpedic pillow so I'm not completely flat. I can't even imagine what I looked like before now. Like I've said, this is a long recovery, ups and downs are normal - but totally worth it for me. I would do it again.

Hey everyone! Just updating that everything is great! I almost have all feeling back, still a tiny bit numb just on skin under chin. I'm sleeping on a wedge now with pillow on top. No more compression. Doc gave me a silicon sheet to use on my chin at night that he says works much better for my scar than popular scar creams. Vitamin E oil has also been great for my scar (and acne scars!). Sometimes I sleep funny and wake up sore or a bit swollen on one side. I can't even imagine what my face looked like before. This is the best decision I have made for myself and I am really happy regardless of the long recovery - I would do it all over again.

You look great! I agree, despite the long recovery, I would do it again as well.

Glad everything is going well. Does the doctor think you'll ever be able to sleep normal again? Like what if you sleep directly on your face after a night out on the town LOL. :) Im almost ready to do mine. I have literally put this off for years and still apprehensive. Probably making it into a bigger deal than it is....

Glad you are making progress!!!! A lot of the time I forget I even have it unless I'm touching it! I'm sure I'll sleep normally just fine :)

My smile is coming back!!!! I don't know exactly when it happened in the past week or so, but I can finally use my lower lip. Not 100% - it's still tight - but enough to have a more normal laugh/smile again. Such a huge relief as that was my biggest concern. I still wake up swollen sometimes if I sleep too flat and still have some numb spots along jaw. Also have little breakout bumps all along my jaw I've been fighting off since surgery - not sure if it's even related or I'm touching the area too much - my skin is hyper sensitive and could just be adjusting to my new "shape". But very happy with how everything is turning out!!

You look great! The swelling have definitely gone down from the previous update. Im glad your smile is back to normal. I had the chin implant a week before you and my smile had been recovered as well. I still have A LOT of tighness under my chin though :( Quick question, do you experience sharp pain occasionally around the chin?
