Chin Scar & Straight-on nose

delusion95
My scar was invisible with the first implant. I now have an obvious scar with the revision.

To show no real change in my nose straight-on I added side-by-sides of my nose.

Your nose looks great, and you made the right decision to redo your chin. I can see what you mean about the scar but you'd have to be underneath you to notice it. I've heard coconut oil helps. Good luck with your healing :)

Did your smile go back to how ıt was pls answer ı am ın the same boat as you. And you look great by the wat

No. My smile will never be the same as it was pre-op. The structure that the muscle sits on has changed. It's not bad it's just different and appear to have a rounder face as a result. I am going to put up a picture that is about 10 months post revision. I hope it helps.

Little over 1 year post Rhinoplasty, 4 months post chin revision

delusion95
Rhinoplasty is, now, a little over a year post-op. It looks good and works well. I am very please with the Rhinoplasty!

The chin revision, I'm told, still has some swelling, but I should expect to see most of the inflammation down by Sept. I still have a boxier chin than I did originally but the implant does appear to be a bit more centered. My bone structure is off-center so I cant expect it to be perfect. I am, however, hoping that I will lose the boxiness. I did like my straight-on-chin-shape prior to surgery and was just looking to improve my profile. It may be something to which I will just have to adjust if I never get that shape back. I did not lose a significant amount of projection from the smaller implant. I am still very happy with the change in my profile. I'll just have to see how the chin revision progresses.

Thank you so much for your updates. You have no idea how much I appreciate them. I am scheduled for my revision 9/1 and I was so happy to see this. I think it looks fantastic, your front view looks similar to your natural front view, and you barely lost any projection by going smaller...it actually looks softer and more feminine. I can, however, see what you mean by boxy because your pre-surgery photo goes more in a V angle, however, I still think it looks nice. I'm almost certain those are the wings and there could be swelling there from adjusting the pockets/reinserting the implant. So here's hoping. I think you look wonderful either way. Thanks again for updating and happy healing!

You're Welcome. From the amount of discomfort you mentioned about your chin implant in your post, it sounds like a revision is a good choice. I hope it all goes well; keeping the results you wanted from the implant and being comfortable. I don't notice my implant at all, except when I look in the mirror, and that's how it should be.
