I had the consult today and I am excited about getting a chin implant, ive always had a weak chin and im hoping this will give me the look that I want. Im having it performed under local anesthesia to help cut costs and to minimize downtime. It seems like a long way off but im already getting excited.

Oh, I bet this coming month will go fast! Chin implants can make such a dramatic difference. Do you know what size implant you're going with?

Please keep us updated. I will be watching your story with interest!

Thanks so much :) I was actually able to reschedule for a sooner date because another patient cancelled so now i only have a week to go! Im getting a little nrevous but its a good nervous, im happy i will be able to say goodbye to my weak chin and trade it in for a stronger more masculine one.

Just had the surgery two days ago, there is some swelling but im already starting to really like the square masculine results, Im actually hoping the swelling doesn't go down too much because I love the size of it ...I chose to do the procedure under local anesthesia and was awake and aware of everything that was going on while the implant was being placed. It wasn't that bad, there were some painful moments, like when he used the cauterizing tool and some tense moments when I would open my eyes and see him with a scalpel, but it wasn't so bad, kind of reminded me of getting a root canal. I actually opened my eyes a couple of times during the procedure and I seen my blood all over the surgeons gloves, but im tough...It didn't bother me. I was telling myself..."You are getting a cleft chin implant, you have to be tough now!" Lol. I will post pics soon.

I think I will go back to him for cheek implants in the coming months.

Im going back tomorrow to ask if I can switch out the implant I have now with a bigger one, im just not satisfied with the overall shape and size of the implant. I feel like the implant has feminized my face because it looks heart shaped now, which wasn't apparent when the swelling was still present. I want a masculine chin/jaw line and that's just not the case right now. Im not mad at the doctor, just mad at myself because I wasn't assertive enough about my overall goals as far as the implant was concerned.
