Hi all,
So these picture side by side show you the difference time makes.... first is before, second is ten days after and third is over 1 month. You can see how much the swelling has gone down! And the doctor said that there is prob even still some swelling left around my dimple. I am now 100% satisfied and would go back at all. It just feels like my face now. I also added some pictures with makeup.

Hi all! so it has been over one month now. Physically I feel fine and everything is in the right place. I sadly still have numbness in my lip and chin on the right side but I have seen some improvement and still get random sensations. I have pretty much gotten used to this at this point. I have a feeling it's going to take a while for all of it to come back. As far as the look of everything I am pretty satisfied. There are things about my face that it has changed that i don't necessarily like mostly to do with my smile but I think it is very minor and I am still hoping it improves with time. The profile and how it looks when I am not smiling it great. Before I could never take a picture that wasn't smiling from the front, everything else looked really bad. Now I like how my face looks when im not smiling and I can even do a pretty smile with my mouth closed. Another thing I have noticed is that my lips look a bit smaller and less feminine prob because the chin is bigger and sometime i like it has made my face look chunkier even thought I had a round face before. Basically I am still figuring out what I do and don't like and waiting because I think things will get even better with time. I love your guys feedback so feel free to give our opinion.

I think you look great, girl! Your smile looks beautiful and your photos just give off a fresh confidence now. Stay optimistic. I'm in the same boat right now.

I think you look terrific, especially just one month out! I’ve been thinking about this for couple years! You felt you could go out within a week? Or longer ?!

Having concerns that the numbness won't go away and that I don't look better but worse.

I like the side profile and I like how my chin and face look now when I am not smiling but for some reason I feel less pretty. I think it is my smile. I loved my smile it was my best feature and now it is impaired by the numbness. I feel like it is smaller and less attractive. I don't feel 100% my self yet and that isn't helped by all the numbness and tingling. I want honest opinions, do I look different or is it all in my head.

Hi! Honestly, I think you look better, both from your side profile and from the front. I felt the same, I hated taking pictures because my smile was so awkward,. It took about 3 months for mine to be 100% back., so don't worry, it'll come back. You also have a lot of swelling, that you don't realize is there so you may think the implant looks high, but it can simply be swelling. I hope that helped. You look great! Happy Healing.

I think you look great! It's easy for me to say as I haven't had my surgery yet but I think you are over thinking it. Your result is fantastic and your face still looks pretty and feminine from the front and from the side there is a big improvement. From what I have read it can take a long time for the smile to fully return so just take one day at a time. But your smile looks lovely even now. It's just you aren't used to it :) I hope my surgery goes as well as yours.

Hello again! I do think your before and after pics from a chin implant are better than most people on this website. However, I do prefer your before "baby chin" smile. Like I said before, your case is so similar to mine! So don't listen to me, I think I'm just pining for my old chin and smile. I have a consult next week to remove my chin implant. My implant was put in 3 yrs ago (small silastic) and I barely show any teeth when I smile. After my implant, I immediately had a harder, older look to me. So I've come to the conclusion that chin implants do not improve a female's front view. Profile, yes, definitely improves that. But from the front view, all females have a tight smile and elongated face that looks somewhat masculine and makes them look older. I've been looking at some celebrities online who I think have had chin implants and look worse because of it. Renee Zellweger, Jenna Jameson, Gweneth Paltrow, Jamie Presley. These are a few names that come to mind who at one point had a slightly recessed feminine chin and then all of a sudden had a strong, square, manly jawline. So people have to ask themselves if they prefer a prettier front or side view. Because you can't have both with a chin implant. I don't care about my perfect profile, I miss my full smile and youthful look pre implant.

I don't have any head shots from before my implant. I just have random pics of me from before. I've taken a lot of after close ups though. When I get my implant removed maybe I'll muster up the courage to post my story with pics lol. Even though the ps said he used a small implant, it looks so dominant. Your results are a lot softer and prettier.

I think your profile is one hundred percent improved, and see nothing negative about your new front view chin. It does not appear too large, heavy, or masculine in any way. Your smile does look forced in the picture, but you had at least 20 years to perfect your old smile, so I think you need to give it a little time. I'm sure that over time it will all work itself out!

Also, don't know how you are sleeping, but I slept in an elevated position for several months after the surgery, even though the doctor tells you to do it for a few weeks. I felt like it was something proactive I could do to make the swelling dissipate more quickly, and I do think it helped. :-)
