All swelling subsided, implant totally settled. Hit my chin a million times skateboarding - eek. No movement or issues! All sensation back in my chin and truthfully, I feel like a brand new person. This surgery was life-changing for me and the the way I used to feel about myself.

I really like your results , what is the style&size of your implant??

Hey, you look amazing. Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I am also considering lipo and an implant but am on and off feeling very anxious about it. Reading your posts makes me feel a lot better, thanks so much.

I am glad! I was really anxious about it too. I'm a huge wimp. I'm ultimately happy I did it for myself.

It's 3 about months and my implant has settled, which has made my chin lose some of the original projection I was getting from it that made me feel the most confident with the outcome. I still would like a little more projection - my top lip no longer aligns with the tip of my chin and my jawbone looks a bit weaker. I have a Large implant in now, but would really like to put an XL put in. How much of a different would it make - and would a revision be worth it if it would really be my ideal? How much would this usually cost if I contacted my surgeon about it?

I got an XL implant yesterday. I think yours looks good! I'm starting to be in quite a bit of pain. How long does it take to not feel so much pain?

Could I see some photos? Mine looks a little less prominent then it did in those last photos. I would like to see how an XL looks!

Sure! Check out my review when you get a chance. I have posted several pictures!

You actually look amazing before and after. Your chin was very feminine as opposed to recessive, which can make some women look as though their mouth and nose are actually protruding. In my honest opinion, implant or not, its a win win. You really do have a very unique beauty. My ex had a weak chin with heat like cheek bones that was remarkably beautiful. Men certainly cant get away with this but it can actually enhance a womans face so long as the chin isnt drastically slumped in.

I never think about my chin anymore or check this site for relief. That's pretty huge to me. My confidence has shifted dramatically due to this surgery. Even just talking to people feels easier. The results are beautiful and I would go through with this procedure again in a heartbeat... it was so easy. I highly recommend Dr. Heff and Jefferson Facial Plastics if you live in the Philadelphia area. My scar is healing, but to be honest, if the scar stayed there forever I wouldn't even care OR notice. Plus, I think it's kind of a cool reminder of this thing that I did for myself.

If you want to get this done and know it will be the right decision for you, DO IT! I feel so much happier everyday.
