Posting another picture to show skin sagging that's been there since after surgery, and hasn't gone away. Also getting self conscious of how short my chin is.
What do you think? Does it seem like an improvement over the round recessed chin I had before?

i've been warning people about this. This happens when you lose your natural adhesive due to separating soft tissue/muscle off bone. I've been warning people about this-doctors don't tell the whole truth bc it's their means of making a living.

you would've prob got better results with botox. Which help slims down the face without losing jawline definition. injections and fat grafting last for a few months. This is the danger of facial bone reduction...you lose contour and structure which only cause premature aging and a chubbier face.

I’m so sorry to hear about your experience. Was it one of those big factory hospitals in Korea that you went to?

I don't agree that botox could have given similar results because looking at my chin in pictures it really was rounded and totally melting into my neck before, while now it is definitely sharper smaller and a lot more defined, although there is some sagging. What's weird is that I notice it a lot when I take selfies, but my friends say my chin looks normal and don't notice sagging at all.

I think it looks better now! Sagging is always a risk with this surgery, and i can barely see yours. There are plenty options though, have you considered a mini face lift?

So I thought I'd post another review bc I've been iffy about my results this whole time, overall yes it is a positive change that made my face look better at most angles, BUT all the dreaded side effects did appear and my fear that too much bone was shaved only materialized more. I'm attaching some screenshots of the sagging I notice in everyday pics that wasn't there before.
So I am thinking about getting some filler injections or maybe natural fat grafting will be enough. Healing wise, I feel pretty well healed and there is no more numbness. When i press on my chin area though it definitely doesn't feel like "my chin" and still has some tenderness.

You are beautiful before and after.. may god bless you

you look awesome despite what you may consider sagging. what about numbness.. or anything . I've heard side effects can occur from too much taken away/ in the nerve line.

@Very satisfied patient this pic doesn't show what the side sagging looks like, its definitely worse from the side or when I tilt my chin down. But as far as healing, I think I healed fine, no numbness at all. I dont think I have side effects aside from an slightly tight jaw feeling maybe once every few months? And when flying, maybe due to the air pressure

these regen reviews are so similar....I can even tell if this is written by real patient or the clinic itself.
June 22, 2018
Hey, feel free to message me, I included all the details I could think of but i agree that a lot of reviews seem kind of sketchy.
June 21, 2018
How are you doing?
June 22, 2018
Hi, I'm doing fine, I am healed almost fully (just feel a little tightness in my lower teeth if i stretch my mouth) but to be honest the tissue/bulge under my chin is becoming more apparent. Overall im happy with the results but its far from perfect..If i were to redo it I would emphasize making my chin longer from the front and I would have considered going to TFD

Thats good to hear that you are doing well! I plan on getting my genioplasty done with Dr. Charles lee in beverly hills!
June 23, 2018
