Chin Reduction, Lip Fillers, Incredible Difference! Ontario, ON

WORTH IT$9,000
I'm a 25 year old female and I was unfortunate to have a pointy, and very long chin that I inherited from my father's side. I decided to get chin reduction surgery. It was extremely expensive, but the procedure was easy with two weeks of intense swelling. It's now 3 weeks after and I'm a new person. I had lip fillers in addition as I thought it would complete the look. They were both worth it. It's absolutely worth the money. You'll see from my before and after photos that my chin was quite intense. It's soft and shorter now and much more feminine. I couldn't be happier with the result. It's still a bit swollen yet, so it'll be a bit smaller yet by week 6. The scar is the only downside, it's quite big, but I know it will heal. They gave me lipo under my chin to tighten it which added to the cost which is why at $9000 CND is was very expensive. That money can't compare with my confidence boost. I'm so glad to have had it done! If you're thinking about it, do it. The clinic I went through was far from perfect but the end result was great. :)

You look great!! I'm curious, did you have a (reverse) sliding genioplasty? Based on the fact that you have a scar, I'm guessing your surgeon went with a submental (under the chin) approach rather than an intra-oral sliding genioplasty. Thanks in advance for the answer! :)
July 6, 2015
Thanks! :) No I didn't have sliding genioplasty at all, I had the bone shaved down and tissue removed. He made an incision inside my mouth and under my chin. I think there are better results with this method and that it is far less painful. :)

Was it painful?

I see a hole lot difference you look good !!!

It was uncomfortable for sure but not really painful! I was a bit ill the day after the general anesthesia, and I had to wear a head wrap for about a week. The shorter on prescribed antibiotics and painkillers so I didn't feel a lot of the pain. My jaw felt tight though. Overall not too bad at all!

Thanks :)

Looks fantastic! I think this was a great idea, before your chin dominated and now it compliments! I definitely think that if you know you want it, get it done and enjoy life, the sooner the better! Congrats on the new perfect chin! The doc did a phenomenal job!

Thank you so much :) :) :)

Great results. Did you have trouble looking for a surgeon who had experiencing performing this surgery or did you pick any facial plastic surgeon?
July 6, 2015
Thanks :) I did have trouble finding a surgeon who does chin reduction. It's far more rare than surgeons who do chin implants. I had to do this surgery at a clinic 3 hours from my city. I think I could have found a more professional environment than the clinic/surgeon I went to but like I said the results are really nice. Definitely research well, and make sure the doctor understands that you want to see a dramatic difference! (I've read they often take off too little in cases of chin reduction. If you show them an oral X-ray of your jaw they can tell you exactly how much they can take off without affecting your teeth)

Priceless! You look beautiful. If you don't mind my asking, what and how much did you have injected into your lips?

July 6, 2015
Thank you so much :) I had Teosyal Kiss injected into my lips. This clinic I went to claims it lasts 5 years, but I have yet to hear this anywhere else...I wonder if they can actually make this claim. In any case it was $650 CND + tax and supposedly lasts 5 years. It's really good for volume, and I had no lips before so it's made a natural but big difference!
July 6, 2015
Also I had the full syringe injected in my lips!

My chin is still a bit swollen but the scar is beginning to fade now. My chin is half of what it used to be and I feel so much better! I couldn't rave about it any more.

You chin looks great! I had surgery in my 20s on my bite (per my dentist it was necessary... now I know otherwise). I now have a long chin like Jay Leno. I have always want to do a chin reduction. Congrats to you!
July 6, 2015
Thank you! :) Yes I too wonder how much of my chin problem was genetics and how much was due to extensive dental work! I way if you're thinking about it, do it! It's so worth it. Make sure to take a dental X-ray of your jaw to the surgeon so they can tell you exactly how much they can take off. Make sure to emphasize that you want them to take off more than less, because I've read other reviews saying the surgeons took off to little.

Good luck :)

There is STILL a slight bit of swelling, but the scar has reduced greatly under my chin. You can see that a visible dimple is now at the bottom of my chin, but I like it! The doctor said it was always there but only became visible after the surgery. I am quite happy with the results. My chin looks infinitely better from the profile and straight on, I don't believe it could be made any smaller, and if it was, it'd probably look weird. My lips I am happy with also but I wish they were a bit fuller still. I don't know if I'd recommend Dr. Elmasri if you want attentiveness and good aftercare, but he did a good job on my chin, that I cannot deny. I wish the swelling would go down completely so I can see the final end result. It's been a long and expensive journey but it was well worth it for my self esteem end happiness!
