natalie_palm Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 Not sure if this is the right place, but I saw the butt implants and breast augmentation so I thought I would give it a try. Has anyone had a chin implant or have pics of one? I know they usually do it with rhinoplasty, but I don't need that. Just a small implant for my profile, but I don't want my face to change too much. I don't want to look like Hollyweird...just enhance... ?
emmalawyer Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 I've never had this and have never personally considered it, but I know from a coworker's experience that it's a relatively easy procedure and that --if it's not performed in conjunction with rhinoplasty or neck lipo-- it's done under local anesthesia and takes about 30 minutes. My coworker (a guy) had a receding chin and wanted a more balanced and harmonious profile, so his PS made a small incision and inserted a prosthesis. Like I said, it took about 30 minutes.
natalie_palm Posted July 30, 2008 Author Posted July 30, 2008 Oh intersting - was he bruised much or anything afterwards? How do you think it looks - an improvement???
emmalawyer Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 Nope, I didn't notice much besides some swelling. In this guy's case, the improvement was noticeable (which is probably why he told us he got the implant in the first place) and it did even out his face quite a bit. I remember him mentioning something about the size or number of the implant being a 3 but I didn't ask him to elaborate at the time since it wasn't a procedure I was interested in having. But, if you didn't know what he started with, you'd never in a million years think he'd had work done. So, it's very subtle and natural looking unless you knew him before he had the chin 'corrected'.
spoiledkiwi Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 I want a chin implant along with a rhinoplasty to improve my profile. I've seen pictures of people who got just chin implants and I've never seen anyone who didn't look a whole lot better. I think if you get the right size (I believe it's supposed to protrude in line with your forehead) then it should look great. For pictures I suggest looking at plastic surgeons websites in the before and after section. Here are a few that I've found.
girlfriday Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 I can't tell you from personal experience, but one of my friends got one and she loved it. She had a very receded chin and it really did improve her appearance!
natalie_palm Posted July 31, 2008 Author Posted July 31, 2008 Yes, everyone I have seen it has looked better afterwards (in PS pics). My chin isn't incredibly bad, but my profile bothers me a bit. I just don't want to look unnatural!
allisonfaye Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 I wish they would show the 'after' from the front too.
ghstdreamer Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 One of my friends had it done as well! She looks great and most importantly, she felt a lot better about her appearance afterwards. She always hated her receded chin ever since we were kids, so she's happier now. Also it didn't take long and she recovered very well and quick.
vegas-long-legs Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 MANY actors/actresses have had them. It is a very simple procedure which can make a huge difference & give balance to ones face.
laltiero85 Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 My hubby's aunt had hers done along w/ rhinoplasty and she actually looks really great. Her results were quite natural, and even though you can tell something is different, and she looks great, she still looks like herself.
artemisa Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 Does anybody have an idea how much it could cost? I'm seriously considering having a chin implant together with a rhinoplasty and I'm worried about the overall cost
legacygirl Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 My best friend got hers done and she looks great. She paid ~2000.
natalie_palm Posted August 1, 2008 Author Posted August 1, 2008 Is there a lot of bruising or swelling after the surgery???
