10 months post chin revision/1 year 7mo post rhino


Chin Scar & Straight-on nose

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.

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

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.

Dr. Kim had patience in answering my list of questions during my consultation. The rhinoplasty was, as far as I can tell, perfection. The jury is still out on the chin augmentation. I still feel that my chin appears more off center than before the procedure (the implant may have simply increased the irregularity that was already there). When I had a reaction to the antibacterial solution they apply for surgery he took my call immediately. I sent him a photo and he was able to identify the issue. Almost a moth post-op, I had a freak-out moment about my chin's appearance. Not usually an alarmist, I emailed the nurse, Natalie for reassurance. She returned my email with a phone call within minutes of me hitting send. She answered all my questions and and set my mind at ease (though 3 months post-op I still see some asymmetry).
