Do you guys know if GPs can remove implants? Or do I have to go to a plastic surgeon?

Hi everyone. It has been 6 weeks post rhinoplasty with Dr. Nara and 5 weeks post chin implant removal. My chin has returned back to normal. But my nose still looks quite odd in between the eyes. Here's a pic taken at 6 weeks post rhinoplasty: http://i1110.photobucket.com/albums/h444/nosenose12/noses...

Update on chin implant removal: It's about 5 days post-removal. The shape of the implant is still there, but it has gone down a little. A bit of the sharpness of my original chin has returned! Yay! I am still very worried because my face shape looks like it has been permanently altered, it looks a l...

I went to a plastic surgeon. Can general surgeons do it too? I didn't shop around for surgeons, I googled and called up one at Gleneagles as I want to get it removed ASAP. Either way, what's done is done. I'm happy that I got it removed, no matter what surgeon I went to. I'm sorry, but I don't have ...

Hi everyone. If you've been reading this forum, then you'll know about my mini-episode about my chin implant. Well, I got mine removed a few hours ago. I am sooo relieved. I have never been so relieved and happy. The thing about the chin implant was that it was GINORMOUS (it was an L size with wings...

Oh maaaan. Aadvark, do you know how happy and reassured you have made me? Thank you soooo much for your words of encouragement. I really sincerely thank you! *cyberhug* My incision was intra-oral and yes, I do look freakish at the moment, I don't wanna say this but I resemble some woman hungry ghost...

I guess I will wait a week and see what happens? I think that will be the wiser choice rather than rushing into a removal just post-op 2 days. Might sound silly to say remove an implant post-op 2 days, but sometimes you can just feel that something is really wrong.

yeah! I thought he should know what he's doing, but I don't think he chose L because he wanted to go for a 'natural' effect'!! I think he chose it for the maximum impact. Plus its the type with wings! I think those kind is more suitable for a male. My face is really LONG now. Dr. Nara told me I didn...

I got the wings type. Oh my god. I dont look like myself. I dont dare to look in the mirror. That person in the mirror. Is. Not. Me.

I think I want to get it removed tomorrow. Really, the implant is way too big. I can't take it.

Okay, thanks for calming me down everyone. I hope it's just swelling. Because I am so afraid that this is a permanent thing. Aside from my freak out that my chin was going to be like Jay Leno or a tranny, my experience with Dr. Chi was rather good. I actually liked him more than dear Dr. Nara. I lik...

Dr. Chi chose size L for me!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. *freaking out* I didn't know better. I really feel like... some other person, I don't feel like myself. People with successful chin augmentation, did you experience this? Or was it okay the moment you looked into the mirror post op? Thanks for your inp...

Hello people. I came to Hatyai about 4 days ago and did rhinoplasty with Dr Nara. And today I did chin implant with Dr Chi. I came back from the clinic and freaked out because I think the chin implant made me look like a tranny. Can somebody enlighten me please? I was 30 min post op and already feel...

nil.

Hi koleicai!! I literally just came back from surgery. About 15 minutes ago, I just reached my hotel room. I was scheduled to go for my op tomorrow, but the nurse over there slotted me in for tonight as the last patient. I originally opted to do rhinoplasty, alarplasty, chin, eyebags. All at one go!...
