Medium Chin Implant - Seattle, WA

The scar has been healing quite well, and almost flat at this point. Sensation to my lip and chin has returned. I continue to be careful with my chin and avoid contact sports or pushing on it too hard. Most of the time I forget that anything was done at all, it is amazing how fast your body heals. First month is the hardest, everything else is smooth sailing. The chin feels like my own. I would absolutely do this again.

I had a chin implant 17 days ago and couldn't be happier with how I look. Dr.Portuese made me feel confident with the procedure and addressed all my questions. I am happy he recommended a medium chin implant vs a small one, it made all the difference. The procedure was very quick as well. The recovery takes time, so please do your research and most importantly, do not freak out during the first week! I recommend him for chin augmentations.

Janet was also super helpful and sweet throughout the entire process.

Recovery has been going really well. My bruise is 95% gone, and there is only minor discoloration. I did leave the house without makeup the other day. There is still a lump around the incision, which is to be expected and should go away in a while. I know that I am still swollen, however, it isn't noticeable to me. I resumed my normal routines and feel quite confident interacting with people despite the continuous numbness on the right side. I feel like this will take the longest to go away. I do feel like sensation is starting to return to the lip, but not so much right side of the chin. My speech is almost back to normal but not my smile. i am extremely happy with the results and glad I chose the bigger size implant, as small would not make much of a difference. I will try to post another update at 6 weeks.
