Exactly 1 week till my procedure, I don't think it has really set in yet. I am trying to be really positive and continue to look at other people's stories on real-self to feel more prepared. I noticed my chin or lack of around 14 or 15 when peers compared me to a teacher who literally had no chin, being an already insecure teen this was a nasty shock. I then became very aware of my lack of chin and have off and on been obsessed with it since then. At this point in my life I know I am attractive and pretty and don't think I need it per say but just feel it will overall make me feel more comfortable and make the proportions of my face look more even. I am very excited to not be the chinless or double chin girl anymore! I am also excited to feel more pretty and less aware with my hair up. I know that at first I might not like it and I am mentally trying to prepare for that, knowing my personality well I know I will have regrets at some point. It will be my birthday 7 days after so I am hoping I don't look too crazy hahaha. My biggest concerns going into this are, 1. it will change my smile in someway permanently as it is one of my favorite features, 2. It will look bad/fake not suit my face. 3. Obviously worried something might go wrong IE medically. 4. It will move 5. I have a dimple on my chin and I like it so don't want that to change. I am mostly trying to not think of these things and remain positive. I think that I will be getting a small sized Implant but Dr Bonaparte will not know until he is in there. I will post updates and pictures because I have found realself to be a great help to me through this process. Thanks for the support in advance :)

Surgery went well i think dont remember anything just woke up in pain. So far i have quite a bit of pain and have been pretty uncomfortable. I cant open my mouth and can barely talk. I dont have any numbness in my lips which is good and i get a lot of tingling in my chin. My head strap is very tight and hurts my ears and jaw from not moving much. I had some trouble with the pain meds as they made me sick to take through up 3 times after taking them so i am only taking tyelnol extra strength. I honestly have no idea what i look like under the head strap and at thing point i dont care i just want to feel better. I cant wait till i can remove the strap even if its just to shower. Eating only liquids and even that hurts.
