Everything's back to normal
I've been healing well the last couple of months. My chin sometimes spasms and then a little dimple appears, but it's happening less often.
The asymmetry is still there but less prominent as my own more rounded chin appears.
I've been reading up on "mewing", a tongue posture method that helps remove that turkey neck look and it's been helping a lot.
All in all I'm glad I removed the implant. It was so unomfortable to always have something in there.
I'm very pleased with the liposuction however, and in retrospect I think that would've been enough.
Here's a picture of me now. I still think my chin is a little bigger than before, which is nice.
I have a jaw now and I'm ready to leave all of this behind me. Never doing plastic surgery again.

After and before the removal
Left is now. Right is with the implant. 7mm implant gone but almost no difference yet.
Removal update
I've had so many breakdowns the last month. If you're considering getting a chin implant and you're reading this - please don't do it. Your looks and your ability to speak and smile may be affected forever. Start with a chin lipo, sometimes the stronger jawline is enough. It would have been for me.
So far my chin is the same size, despite a month passing. The shape is a bit rounder, like my original chin. I still like how it looks from the side, but I'm sad that I'm still assymetrical from the front.
My bottom lip feels large, and I have trouble making sounds that require the lips. Such as m, f, v, p and b. However, I can't see any difference visually, so it might just be the fact that the muscles under the lip hasn't recovered yet.
Sometimes when saying f or v, air travels down under the lip like on a Toad. This may also be because of the muscles, however.
My chin is crooked to the right like before the revisional surgery, and it's now droopy to the left side instead of the right. The droopiness is minor and I can't catch in on photo. However, the left side is squishy so it might still have some swelling. I expect the droopiness to go away but the crookedness to stay.
Regarding the droopiness, I asked my suergeon and the staff if I should wear a supporting garment after the removal, as I've seen surgeons on here recommend it. But they recommended me not to, so I didn't.
I have a strange indentation on my left jawline. I think it might the the start of the original contour of my chin that's visible now that the wing of the implant is no longer there. The first two weeks the indentation wasn't there, but I had a dark bruise at the same spot.
I have saliva pouring down and gathering at a certain spot in front of my bottom front teeth. It's very annoying. It has gotten better the last couple of days though and I hope it will continue to get better.
I'm too tired of this to even care. And since I had two surgeries so close to each other, I expect my chin to need twice the time to heal. Might get better. Even if if means my chin will be small from the side again, I'd love for everything to go back to what it used to look like. Symmetrical.
I'm disappointed in my surgeon not telling me that it was a medpor implant back in 2016. I knew what medpor was even back then, and I wouldn't want one. When we were looking at different sizes of implants, they were silicone, and so I assumed that's what I would get.
I don't regret having it removed. Leaving it in longer would probably give me even more problems once I eventually would have it taken out. It feels good knowing I have nothing but scar tissue in there.
