1st I got Chin implant and chin lipo. Now I have removed it.

This is the summary for those who do not want to read the entire review.
I was unhappy with my double chin. I have this type of chin that runs in my dad's side of the family. I got a double chin in my teens. I am 5' 1" and I weight 105 lbs so a double chin is not due to me being over weight.
I wanted the double chin out and at some point an ex bf told me I should get a Chin augmentation. I went to see PS and 3 said yes lipo and chin augmentation. 1 said no chin augmentation. And lipo he said might not make a big differencw bc of my type of chin.
So, I went with chin lipo and chin augmentation. Dr. Delange said he will put a 2 mm silicone implant. He even used photoshop to show me how it will look in my profile. I asked about the front and he said it will be a slight change.
I do like my front face.
So I went and got the procedure and he places a medium implant. This was traumatizing. I was sedated and I said "not too big" and he answered "it will be just right". I was sedated so I couldn't say much or think much.
By the 4th day when I saw my face. I didn't like it. I started freaking out. I was yes swollen but my face looked masculine. I have a round face and now I had a long weird face. I cried and waiting for swelling to go down. When I saw thw doctor he said he implant was small just a few mm. He said swelling will go down.
It didn't! It must have gone down 1 mm. I disliked my look. My lower lip would go down. It seem that the implant wouldn't let it go down. My smiled looked weird bc of this. I was crying every day. I felt I made the worst mistake ever. I talked to the doctor again in 3 weeks post op. He said it looks beautiful. He didn't want to remove it. I needed to wait. He said if I took it out, I would look worst.
I knew what I wanted. And I wanted my face back. My smile back. Everyone who saw me noticed the difference. It was not a subtle change. So I went to a different doctor. The one who said I shouldn't have gotten the implant. He recommended a smaller implant. But I didn't want anything anymore. I wanted my face back with my same smile. My profile looked good. But in front I looked like a different person and I looked older with the implant.
I chose to rather have a "weak chin" with a baby face than a "balanced profile" looking older and masculine. So I got the chin implant out. When I saw the implant. That thing was huge. Basically 9 mm of projection. There is a 2mm very small Anatomical Chin Implant which might have been better suiting for my face. But Delange chose the wrong implant. And I chose the wrong surgeon.
What I learned about surgeries:
1. Surgeon see beauty in terms of measurements. The "balanced face" because someone created a measurement for beauty as standard. This might not fit your smile and gestures. My face with the implant looked balanced but I looked older and my smile looked odd.
2. Do a lot of research about the implants and ask your surgeon exactly what type and style of implant he will use. When this PS said he was going to put a 2mm Projection I thought it was literally going to be a 2mm implant. But he chose something else. There are different types of implants too. Some are hard to take out and cause more problems.
3. Communicate what you want and what you do not want. I wish I would have said I didn't want too big of a Chin. Just a bit more projection. Subtle. Not too "balanced" profile.
4. Go to more than 2 visits with the surgeon. See him many tines before putting down any money. Do not let them rush you. Go at least 4 times. And make sure they answer your questions clearly and not vaguely. When I asked for the implant type he said it was implant tech, silicone. That's it. He said he was going to try a few to see which one fit the best during surgery. And I freaking went with it. Hell to the no!!!!. Do not make my mistake.
5. Do not trust plastic surgeons. They see you as money. They will subtlely say thing such as: you do have a double chin but you also have a recessed chin. Or, Yes your chin is weak but you also have a prominent nose. They will not suggest a nose job but now it is in your head. And on and on!!!!!! That's why people stay with their PS for ever.
6. This is very important. READ the negative reviews. Yes! Read them. I read a few and I said to myself I am not going to be negative and I read all the positive ones. Well guess what. You only learn more through the bad experiences. So read them!!!! Read the bad reviews.
Now my personal growth and lessons learned:
1. Beauty cannot be measured or a standard. Please think about your significant other or any ex partner and see how they were imperfect and you still liked their crooked nose, crooked smile, and those eyes with all and their dark circles.
2. Think about the deeper reason why you want to change. Of course a more pretty face or body. But why? Why does it bother you? Who picked on you? Who do you look like that you don't want to look like? For me is the fact that I thought double chins gives your this look of lame and lazy. I don't want to look lame and lazy. My dad always called me lazy. I am not lazy. Therefore I do not want a double chin. He also has that chin and I disliked him a lot. So I do not want to look like him. Deep right??
3. Think if the money and the risk is worth the subtle change you want. So I was willing to pay $5000 dollars for a 2 mm augmentation. 2 mm?? And get an incision, a cut on my chin risking my nerves and my smile. I can't believe I did that. I honestly just wanted a very subtle change. And I paid all that money. I could travel with that money and do so many things that will last in my heart a lifetime.
4. Go see a therapist! Honestly. Invest your money in your mental health. There are deeper wounds in your soul snd that's why you are seeking plastic surgery. One surgery will not be enough. You will get many others. And none of them will heal you. You are not happy with how you look because of other reasons. And you will never be. That's why people get a chin and then they need a bigger chin. Then you need your nose. Then your lips, then the bags in your eyes. Also, botox in your lines. Now your waist, your breast, your butt. And it keeps on going. It will never stop. A therapist will be much cheaper a more rewarding I promise. I am seeing one and it has been amazing!!
I talk by experience because getting a chin augmentation was not my first plastic surgery.
If anyone has any questions, let me know. I took the Pictures down because I do not want people I know recognzing me
Good Luck.

So I still feel like a poking pain or some sort of discomfort on my left side of my chin from time to time, especially if I lift something with some weight in it. I have not been wearing my face garment. I caught a cold and well I had to deal with other things. I am here accepting my new chin. The profile is close to what it was before. The front no so much. It still looks long. And it is more protuberant on the right side. This side looked bigger with the implant on as well. I hope it goes down so it is less noticeable. But I am still happy without the implant. Yesterday I saw pictures I had of my face with the implant and I dislike how I looked with it. I didn't look like me at all. Here is a Picture to show my bit uneven chin. Let me know if you have questions.

Hello, so on Thursday it was 2 weeks post implant removal and I am happy. I had a short melt down on Tuesday due to a picture I took and I felt my chin looked like it was dropping. I got afraid and scared. I also needed to cry to accept accept everything that has happened. Now I have a bigger scar, etc etc. However that happened on Tuesday and I needed to let that out. But then things got a bit better.............. I bought a silicon patch and I have only used it twice and my scar looks better. I took a new pic on Thursday and I look better. It is funny how I used to think I didn't look good with my recessed chin but now I do not see a problem with it. I can smile like I did before now. I can lower my lip now. I still feel a bit of shooting pain when I smile wide. And from time to time I get shooting pain on my left side of my chin. It feels like a tingling. But it is not as strong as it was with the implant on. Overall I am so happy. I wish I would have only gotten a neck lipo and left my chin alone. ................................ Let me tell you some observations. .............................................. I had a round face, therefore an implant (which all have basically the same shape) made my face look weird. A round face with a thing poking out at the front view. This is something to look for people, your face shape will be altered. Some face shapes do noy look good with an implant. Also assymentry. I did not noticed I had an assymentric chin. And I looked. But with the implant, it was very noticeable when i was smiling. It is still noticeable now because my chin is still long. So the assymentry will be more notiaceble and that is something to think about. It is not like fillers. Fillers so create symmetry. Here are some picture of my progress on my chin. Now I hope for it to not go down much more. But for the scar to keep going away yes! Any questions, let me know.
