Guest guest Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 Oh Dear , Take it easy...you are ONLY 9 days post-op...you are no where near " normal " or not swollen yet. I am 9 wks and change and had genio and I still have one small area of swelling and it slowly has been settling. So Relax, kick back and heal...I would bet that this is not going to be your finished chin and you will be more happy with it once some time passes...I know it's not easy to wait, but it's impt that you're not all wound up as you heal...let your body relax and do what it is supposed to and time will show you your new look! Hang in there and chin up! JO > > I looked at the mirror today, and noticed that my new chin projects > past my lower lip, which looks really bad =(. It used to be decent, > but off-center, but the genioplasty looks like it moved too far > forward. I know it's kinda early (surgery on Oct 5), but can I hope > that there is still more swelling that needs to go down before I can > pass final judgment on it? > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
