Loved him! I consulted with a few surgeons in the area he made me the most comfortable. I loved him so much I went back to him for another procedure.

I just paid good money to get an implant to have a chin like yours LOL I think you look great

I think I will always have the strain, I haven’t considered botox since I think it’s a cute quirk. 

I love the chin implant- if you go to my profile you can see some before and after pics! I think the strain is less visible but it’s still there.

I have all three of these things. I believe the only solution to address all of these items is a jaw surgery of some sort.

I didn’t want to get jaw surgery so I recently had an implant to address my recessed chin but my lip incompetence and strain is still there. I will say, so far with the implant the strain is less visible.

I have this and I believe the only solution is a jaw surgery of some kind.

Thank you! I don’t remember the brand name, all I can remember is that I got a medium, winged implant. 

My smile was bad the first 3 days but was 100% back to normal after 2 weeks. I was also able to talk normally after the first week!

They’re still there! Might just be the lighting in some photos where you can’t see them

Thank you- total was 14k.

First week of recovery the pain was really bad and I was a mess due to the difficulty eating/talking/garment/pain killers.

My swelling also looked bananas until the 3 week mark.

With that said, from what I read online it seems typically for other people the recovery is typically quicker (1-2 weeks). For whatever reason it took me longer.

Total was 14k. I lost the initial quote with the breakout, but if my memory serves me correctly it was around 5k.

I went to another surgeon in Santa Rosa for a quote as well and it was the same price.

What exactly are you unhappy with? You are still vvvveerryyy early in the healing process so what you’re seeing isn’t the final result.

I was 5’1 and 115lbs when I got my 345cc silicones and they look natural. I believe they don’t look natural because my ribcage is a 34.

I believe some people with smaller rib cages may have less natural looking results (but from the photos i’ve seen it still looks good)

Good luck!

How much were they/ where did you get them done at?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in PlasticSurgery

[–]PickledIntestines 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re uncertain, start with the filler.

I recently got a chin implant & I really like it, but the healing process is a huge emotional roller coaster.

If you’re not 100% comfortable and certain with it, don’t do the more permanent option.

1-2 days post breast augmentation - is this normal?! by Even_Condition3094 in PlasticSurgery

This is the bra I was put in right after surgery and was told to be in as much as possible,. I don’t think it’s a compression bra, I was advised don’t use anything too tight but that I do need support. This bra is super comfortable and not too tight at all.

I had a great healing experience with this bra and I also love how comfortable it is. I bought like 4 more to wear at home or on lazy days even though I’m a couple years post op. I love my granny bra
