Karen, do you know what your doc was going to use for the chin implant? My doc is going to just lipo my neck/jaw area. He isnt going to be moving the removed fat to another spot. If you are able to already see a small improvement, in a week you will notice it even more. I still have a few stitches from my Oct 4th surgery cuz my face felt very tight and like it was pulling. Please dont rush on getting the stitches out too quickly. How many stitches do you have?



Eric, I had to wait for a year after my initial operation for reconstruction. Now my doc told me to tweek what he did, I should wait for 6 months. By that time, all the swelling will be gone and tiny blood vessels will have grown and be intact. My doc is extra careful with me cuz of the very first free flap surgery failing. How long ago was your reconstruction surgery?

Anita, best of luck to Clark with his upcoming surgery. Im surprised that he doesnt have to stay overnight even just for observation. Hope it turns out exactly like he wants.
