I found this picture..
WORTH IT$5,764
I was flicking through old pictures last night and came across the picture on the left! 5 days after my chin operation haha! My mum made me the black chin strap which sat over my head like a headband, it was very handy! I needed something that was comfy and kept all the bandages in place, i didn't really take the strap off for a whole week, i even slept in it. The picture on the right was taken last weekend, you can see the swelling has dramatically reduced, which is good!
I just wanted to share this with you so you can see the difference, and also the handy tip about the chin strap if any of you are due to have surgery soon!
Any questions just ask :) x

I just got an issue with a scar after treatment. I think whosoever undergo this procedure must take off from his work/ university for at least a month (ultimately get fired afterwards for sure, lol). Overall it looks really nice!

Hey! You look wonderful! I'm still debating to do this and can you do things like rest your chin in your hand without pain? What about going to get a massage and having your face pressed in that head massage thing? How long did it take for your smile to return? Thanks!

Hey thank you! I still am careful when it comes to touching my chin, if i hug someone and my chin rests on there shoulder i can feel a slight twinge, not pain, it just makes me aware i have something foreign in my face haha. I lie on my side in bed and my chin rests against my pillow all night and I've had no issues. Id say just be careful the first 6 months or so but other than that its safe to say its really secure. My smile return back to normal id say more towards the second month of surgery :) Good luck with your decision x

First, let me add my "wows!" You look great. I do have a question. I had my surgery about 2.5 weeks ago and I was wondering how the implant affected your smile. Not surprising, I still have stiffness and swelling, but I am beginning to wonder if I will be able to smile normal. I'd love to hear what you experienced.
July 18, 2015
Hello! Congrats!!! Yes i had major worries about my smile, i was so scared it was never going to come back, i was like OMG my face is ruined! I kept practicing my smile each day, and the more time went on the better it got, id say give it at least 1 month and you should start to feel back to normal. But its nothing to worry about :) good luck with recovery! x

Thank you so much for your response. It helps to know that the two months my surgeon mentioned is appropriate and that I will get my smile back. I still look constipated when I smile. LoL

My smile was crooked the first couple of weeks, but it got better! It's still not back to normal because the implant is in the way (+2months postop). I have photos on my review. But I'm sure if your implant isn't too big it shouldn't affect it.

Jaimaria also can you open your mouth as wide as before ie going to dentist since I might have to go afterwards for cavity work. And the slight twinge isn't pain? Ok twinge still sounds a bit scary. I give my decision to my PS tomorrow! Eek
July 20, 2015
Yes I can open my mouth just how I used to be able to. When I said twinge; I just meant I am aware it is there like if you squeeze too hard it feels like you pushed a bruise on your skin it's nothing to worry about though it's natural to be aware of something under your skin :) all the best x

Looks great. 1.what kind of implant material? Silicone? Is the implant made by implantech? 2 Any fixation with screws?
May 10, 2015
Implant material is silicone, no idea who it's made by sorry! It's fixed with 2 micro titanium screws either side x

1.Does it feel like your own chin?2. Can you feel the implant? 3. 3.Any reaction by your body?
May 12, 2015
1. I don't feel any way different than what I felt like before the implant, you don't even know it's there I completely feel just normal. No stiffness or anything anymore. 2. I can't feel anything, unless I touch it you know it feels different to how a bone would feel I'm guessing? I don't really know, it's nothing to worry about anyway you will forget you've even got one! 3. My body seems to of handled it well no rejections or infections my scar healed great, the only thing I would say is for the first few months I got loads of spots on my chin area and it was very tingley and sensitive , but they soon cleared and now back to normal ! X

Thank you for sharing this.Because the thought of having any foreign substance in your body is scarry. But your experience makes it seem like the body is tolerant. Any idea what might have been causing the spots on your chin?
May 21, 2015
Didn't you say it was fixed with one screw in the centre at the start of your blog ?
May 23, 2015
Yes I did , that's what I thought was happening. Until afterwards he told me he used 2 one either side.

Can you find out If you got a extended anatomical chin implant it will be greatly appreciated

You look so beautiful with your new chin! I also noticed your hair is a bit darker afterwards. I think the darker shade of hair makes your eyes and your complexion "pop" -- in a very becoming way! You look beautiful the way you are now, but just a thought, if you wanted to further even out your side profile, you could possibly consider getting a bit of the tip of your nose toned down just a bit. But you are beautiful!!!
