My nose is getting extremely twisted

WORTH IT
So I'm not sure why, but my nose has been moving to the left side and is now extremely HARD and twisted and I'm PANICKING. I'm a bartender in a strip club and at 41 Im surrounded by 21 year Olds and I feel like I'm hideous. My mouth is still not working correctly and this fat, twisted nose is really messing with my head. My chin is still swollen which doesn't help. I wish I had the luxury of recovering in private, but I need my job and my job needs me.

Hi! Thank you for posting this! I am scheduled with Dr Clark in January for a revision. Can you tell me how you are doing now? Did he have a solution or explanation for the twisting? I'm really nervous bout my surgery and since I am paying so much I don't want to waste my money!

Had my chin implant removed last week

I paid for anesthesia and Dr Clark removed the implant for me in less than 1 hour. Besides the swelling all coming back and my mouth becoming more dysfunctional, it was pretty painless. I'm still looking a bit strange and my mouth is crooked, but I'm very happy to be moving closer to my old chin.

Hi thank you for sharing your experience on here ) & I was just wondering how much dr clark charged for your chin implant removal because I myself am going to him for an implant removal and have a consult coming up in a few weeks but just curious of what it could possibly cost

Most of the swelling is down at this point. My black eyes are gone, and while I love the shape of my nose, it still feels very wide. I saw Dr Clark today and he told me that he made my nose even more narrow than it was previously, which I'm really excited about. I never thought I could have a petite, straight little nose.
I decided that I wanted to remove the chin implant. Dr. Clark recommended that in wait to fully see results because it apparently takes a very long time for the swelling to go down, but I am choosing to proceed with the removal. Just going to put my personal feelings down here and hopefully they'll help SOMEONE who may be on the fence.
Trust me when I say , you think you don't like your face till it doesn't look like your face. I miss my chin. The nose and the chin being different turns me into someone I don't recognize, and even if the whole world thinks it looks better, I still feel uncomfortable looking at myself and not recognizing who's looking back at me.
Chin augmentation is a pretty long healing process. My mouth is altered from it. Talking is a struggle. You don't smile the same for a while. My bottom lip is sucked into my mouth when I laugh or smile. I feel as though I look like my face was partially paralyzed.
The reason I SHOULDN'T have done it is because I actually liked my chin before. If you like your chin and it's proportionally "off", then leave that chin alone!
I want to state that I'm SUPER HAPPY with the side profile I currently have, and can't wait to see everything when the swelling goes down! Dr Clark did such a good job!
