No Wings Anatomic Chin Implant & Smart Lipo Triplex @ Sub-mental & Jawline Areas - Los Angeles, CA

I just had the procedures done yesterday. The morning started out w/ the nurse putting in my IV line. Then I was escorted to the operating room. I drifted out so I didn't feel any pain when he numbed & cut me. I can hear and sense every tugging but I didn't feel any pain. It took probably an hr w/ another hr in recovery. The implant they used is Hanson's style 5 ( SCH5-4) which is a large central implant w/o wings. In the beginning, I was leaning toward Implantech Flowers Mand. Groove because I read it is the only one that gives the most height. The Flowers has 1.7cm vertically in the middle while Hanson's has 1.3-1.5cm. But since they only use Hanson's at Wave, I was a bit concerned it won't give me the length I wanted. Dr. said he can achieve this by placing it externally. Plus, it's better to do the ones without wings because there's too much problems w/ nerve damage & pain esp on Asian faces where the nerve distance is shorter. Even if the central anatomic implant didn't take care of the jowls area, it's not worth the risks plus you can address the jowls with a different procedure. I came home with no pain. I took the pain meds just in case. It was hard to open my mouth to eat since I'm very swollen. I can feel both my lips so I think I'm safe from nerve damage. Right now, I can't see how everything look like since I'm all wrapped up. I will keep you posted. The cost is very reasonable for both procedures. $2000 for implant, $995 smartlipo, and $200 for blood work and meds/.

At day 4 I have some red & yellow bruisings on my neck and jawline. My face is very swollen. My chin & neck feels tight and numb. I can speak & eat normally now. So far I'm very please with the results. My front view didn't changed much. The side profile shows a substantial change. I no longer have the obtuse neck angle. I don't see any skins hanging so extremely relieved because I was hesitant to have the Smartlipo fearing it will leave me with loose skins. I think Dr.Lee did a fabulous job. It is totally worth $995:)
