1st I got Chin implant and chin lipo. Now I have removed it.
So, I am considering Chin Lipo and Chin...
So, I have already scheduled my procedure and will be back to work on the 6th day after my surgery. I do not have any more PTO so I cannot ask for more. But now I am hesitating and wondering if I should wait a few more months to be able to request 2 weeks off so people do not notice my bruises.
Also, there is this guy I am starting to date and I am not telling him anything. We do see each other a few times a week. So now I am wondering if make up will cover the bruises and he will not notice.
I want to hear people's feedback. Thank you.
I Finally Got a Chin Lipo and Chin Augmentation
The search
So, since I hit puberty and gained weight, I gained weight under my chin. It changed my posture because I started leaning my head forward so the doble chin would not be noticeable.
Later on in life an awful ex boyfriend of mine made me realize of my bad posture and showed me how I probably need a chin augmentation. I hated him. But it just made me more self conscious of my chin. And yes we broke up. He was awful.
Anyway later on I accepted he was probably right. Maybe I needed an augmentation. So I went into my search. One doctor said yes, lipo and Augmentation. Another said no augmentation just lipo, because it will give me a masculine look. And then a third one said yes to both and I liked this 3rd doctor because he basically read my mind. I told him I just needed a subtle change and he took my picture and photoshopped it to show me how he was picturing my results.

11 days post opt
However, the day of surgery he places a medium size implant. I was sleepy but I heard him and I tried to talk and I said "not so big" and he said, it is just right.
So now, I do not like it u_u. Gosh since day 4 when I saw myself, I felt horrible. Yes I was swollen but my smiles look different. I couldn't smile and my chin too forward. I freaked out. I cried my eyes out for two days. On the 7th day. I got stichets removed and I saw the doctor for about 2 minutes. He put me at a little bit of ease. I told him I felt the chin look pointy and he said that the swelling will go down, to give it 3 more weeks. He also saod that my smile my takes a couple of months and that it is normal. He made everything seem normal.
I then told myself I need to wait. And indeed the swelling is still going down. The chin still is too prominent to my taste. I went back to work on the 9th day and my coworkers noticed I had done something to my face. One actually said you have done face surgery, your face looks long and your smile looks different. (I hated her). I denied it. But everything she said was and is true.
I am still waiting now but this process has not started with the right foot.
The positives are that the doctor did a great job with the incision and it is a tiny line. It is only noticeable now because it is bruised around it but I can tell it will not leave a scar. Also the implant is in its right place. So that is good. However I have been contemplating a revision to a small implant. The only thing I hate about it is that I have to take more time off of work and that I have to face people looking in a way I dislike.
I would recommend for people to get filler injections first to test how they would like their chin. It is less risky and it will give your doctor the exact idea of what you want and not what he considers "perfect".
Another lesson learned is that, we might think that a type of chin would look good on you but it might age you or not go with your other features. I feel like the implant makes me look older and also gives me this "[RS bleep] resting face" look.
Let me tell you that I have learned that I was beautiful just the way I was before.
