Shaving down a Porex implant

by **freiheit** » Wed Jul 01, 2009 7:30 pm

I had a medium porex implant with wings placed in August 2007. I've always felt like it made my face too manly. I used to have a delicate, pointed chin but now it's U-shaped and brings my face down. How invasive is it to have them shave down the implant? Is it too late for that? I don't want it removed completely though. I can't go through the recovery process like it was for the initial surgery again! The bottom of my face feels so thick and heavy and i cry about it all the time =(

before

now

Please help me!

I'm pretty sure you can shave it down whenever. If you've had it for 2 years the scar tissue (w/e it's called) may have built up already though.

If I were you I'd consult a doctor. Not a surgeon but a doctor who knows about this stuff. They can direct you to a real good cosmetic surgeon

Hi, go to Dr. Zide in New York city. He does this all the time and in his office, so it will save you the OR etc. costs. He's very good and has a wonderful rep. He's done a few people I know. Im going to have my jaw implants burred down a bit.

i think your chin looks fabulous-i just had one with wings put in and my PS said he can modify it whenever I want. In his office under a local. I just had it and was wondering how long it took for all the swelling, etc to subside. I am 3 weeks out and feel like I went a few rounds. Its pretty sore.
You look great. But, its how u see yourself
I like it
