My lower lip isn't swollen anymore. But it was during the first week. Now it has taken a beautful shape. It used to hang loose earlier. I know what you are going through. I felt the same way :) Wait till the one week mark. I think you'll see a definite improvement. If you have any questions feel fre...

Shutter Island must be a top pick among ppl with genioplasty blues. I watched it while I was still swollen and it got me really depressed, lol. (But it is a very good movie) I'm glad you enjoyed Hitch. Don't know if these are your type but "confessions of a shopaholic", "thank you for...

I've had two consultations with my surgeon post op. He is very happy about the result. I've been told by a few people that the whole procedure has emphasized my nose and has made it look sharp and long ( and I like it that way) Looking back, I can't believe how swollen I was right after surgery :D T...

I came acroess lisab28 too, while desperately looking for info on genioplasty revision. Patience is the key. You'll get a fair idea of what your chin would look like around 10 days after the operation. So you'll have enough time to decide what you want to do. Totally agree with what you said about r...

A very merry Christmas to you too. I'll upload some pics for you soon :) Hope things will improve for you by new year :)

Oh and about the revision, I felt that I might need one during the first week cos my chin looked huge. But I changed my mind. I'm glad I went along with the genioplasty. It has made a huge difference. I feel more confident and happy. :) So don't rush into a revision. Give it some time. You really ca...

Mia, I understand what you are going through. I even cried cos I thought my face looked long and acromegalic and of course unfeminine. But the swelling will dramatically come down in a matter of days. It has been 14 days since I got the surgery done and now the swelling is almost non existent. Above...

It has been almost 12 days post op and things are looking better. The swelling has disappeared although there's still a little bit right in front of the chin. My face is starting to look like what I wanted it to be.

Thanks sadpanda. I know you are right. I should give it some more time. I just feel awful cos I waited 7 years to get this surgery done and the surgery and the post op period was quite challenging and stressful. I just hope that I'd look better after the swelling subsides. :)

I had an advancement genioplasty done 5 days ago and I don't like the aesthtic outcome. I had micrognathia and that is why I opted for the procedure. Now my chin looks too large and acromegalic and my face looks unattractively long. I am considering getting a partial revision done so that my chin wo...
