I had a chin implant done almost 2 years ago. When I discussed it with my plastic surgeon not at any time was I advised that my chin would be squared off. When we discussed it we talked about the projection & what is appropriate for a woman. I knew so little about chin implants I never imagined that a square chin was and option and never in my wildest dreams imagined that a plastic surgeon would take it on herself to choose that shape without asking. What woman in the world would chose a square chin? I should've researched it first, yes, but then it is ultimately the surgeons responsibility to advise the patient of this. The surgeon claims that she goes over everything with her patients & cannot be responsible for what they do not understand or do not "take in" during the consultation. I am very clear on what was said in reference to the chin implant and I was never advised it could or would be square. The implant also offset my bottom lip & it appears to dip a little as you can see by the shadow from the top crease of my chin. So my chin "turns up" some from the side & when I smile it has a pit in the bottom. We as patients pay top dollar for these services & have less recourse than with anything else we purchase in life. I am the one left bearing the responsibility & a boat load of sadness & regret for a choice that was made for me. I cannot put into words how this affects a person. I also had fat transfer to my jawline that did not come out well either but I will put that in a separate review.
