Many years ago i had chin implant surgery to...
Many years ago i had chin implant surgery to correct a receding chin. And even though at the time the surgeon declared the surgery a complete success and was happy with the results, i didn't feel like the surgery had achieved what i was hoping for, and basically i felt unhappy with the new shape of my chin and also the massive scar that was left under my chin where the surgeon had inserted the implant. As the years went by i tried to convince myself that maybe the surgeon was right and the result was acceptable. But every time i would see a photo of myself my eyes were immediately drawn to the red raised scar that i now had under my chin and also the strange shape of my jawline due to the new implant. Towards the end of 2013 i finally decided that instead of letting this bother me forever, i was finally going to do something about it.
After much research online, i finally decided on booking a consultation to see Julian de Silva and see what suggestions he would have about improving the look of my chin. What initially drew me to him was not only the countless very positive reviews that i found from his former patients, but also the fact that Julian de Silva specializes only on the face and therefore an expert in all types of facial surgery.
From my very first visit to Julian de Silva i was convinced i had made the right choice. Everyone at The Center in Hammersmith made me feel comfortable and relaxed but most of all i felt that i had found the best surgeon possible to to carry out my surgery. During the consultation he listened to me very carefully and i could see that he understood exactly what i was unhappy with concerning my chin and also what i was hoping to achieve. He agreed that the original implant could be removed and replaced and also the old scar revised to make it near invisible. But it was at this time that Juilian de Silva also pointed out that together with liposuction under under my chin and neck the results would be even better. And i can't thank him enough for that!! It just goes to show how much of a genius de Silva is in his field and the great artist he is when it comes to the features and angles of the face.
Needless to say, i readily agreed to go ahead with the surgery. And a date was set a few weeks from then. Of course i was a little nervous when the day came but from the very start i was made to feel relaxed and calm by all the staff. Everyone from the lovely girls at the front desk to the friendly chatty nurses as well as the nice anaesthetist Botha, all made me feel that i was in the best possible care. Julian de silva had a final chat with me before the surgery and that was it. I really cant say much about what happened next once the anaesthetic took effect. I just felt very calm and relaxed and contented and safe throughout. Next thing i knew it was over !!! I felt strangely wide awake and not sick or groggy at all. I was given last minute instructions on caring for myself and i left with a friend that had come to pick me up.
Of course there was swelling and a tiny bit of soreness over the next few days but nothing too bad. When i came back in a week to have the stitches taken out, i could already see the new shape of my chin an also the new contour of my neck even though i was still swollen. I was already delighted with the results.
Well its been three months now and i still can't believe how lucky i was to find Julian de Silva. Im so happy with the new shape of my chin. Friends and family tell me how great i look now and how much younger i look too. Yet because of the natural result of my surgery no one can spot that its a new chin implant and liposuction that i've had. De Silva gave me the best chin possible for my face. Not too small, not too large. Just perfect i would say. During our initial consultation Julian de Silva said that his aim in all surgeries was to create improvements and natural results. Well in my experience its been as close to perfection as possible. I would recommend Julian de Silva to anyone thats looking for the best in facial plastic surgery.
