My Terrible Experience with a Chin Implant (PLEASE Read This Before Getting One)
Hi everyone! I want to share my story because there isn't much information about this when I needed it, so this post could help someone who's going through the same thing.
So 7 weeks ago I had a rhinoplasty (local anesthesia) i was put on alprazolam and other sedatives so i was sleepy/dizzy.
Right before going into surgery my surgeon sugested me to get a chin implant, I NEVER thought about it nor had any problems with my chin as it was very normal looking. But the rush of the moment, the sedatives and me trusting in what i thought was an expert i agreed to it.
The very moment after seeing myself in the mirror y knew that something was wrong with it. The surgeon told me that it was a small silastic chin implant, so I trusted him.
I could feel the implant near my right gumside, so it was clearly crooked, and I was told by my surgeon to wait, that it was "normal".
I hated it since the begining, and I started to look for information about getting it removed. I only found about two or three more people who had it removed successfully.
I started to search online and some doctors said that many times chin goes back to normal after removal, and other times the skin and soft tissues are so stretched that it creates something called "chin ptosis", I also found out that sometimes they cause bone resorption. I was panicking, but I decided to bite the bullet and a few hours ago i went to another surgeon to take it out.
I has horrified, this was the thing inside of my chin.
I don't know if my chin will ever be back to normal, or if i will have to live with loose skin on my face forever. This new doctor said that i will be fine, that i am young (24) and the implant was there for a short period so the tissue should shrink back to normal. But I definitely don't regret having that thing out of my body.
Let's see what time says. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any question
And please, PLEASE, don't get talked into aditional procedures, go with professionals and do your own reaserch. Thank you.
