Thanks for the information and support.
Really appreciate. I'm 3,5 days post op. The thing looks massive. I mean, it's like i'm carrying a pelican chin. My anxiety is so high i'm thinking to off myself. I'm thinking all the time: is this swelling or not. It looks very 'boxshape'. As we all know, boxsbape is aestethical unpleasant.
How are your cw results now?
Yes your chin and jaw angles will look huge for a while. Your face will also have a boxed shape for at least the first month or two. You really do need to be patient to start seeing your final result without swelling, I'm talking MONTHS not weeks. Also I don't believe a jaw implant would cause more swelling then a procedure that involves bone cuts including a bone graft. Their is much more trauma in bone cuts than simply just putting a implant in, meaning more swelling and downtime.
My result was outstanding, I got above and beyond what I was expecting. Their were times during my recovery I was just so worried about my outcome, thinking it just didn't look right, it was too big in some areas, too small in others, or assymetrical, or that i would never regain sensation in my lips or chin. However, given some time, the swelling went down and everything turned out great, I came out with about the same amount of asymmetry, if not better symmetry, and I regained what feels like 100% sensation again.
You say your only 3.5 days out, so you may not even be at the peak of your swelling, you have a long recovery ahead of you. Try to find something to distract you for the next while (books, movies, etc) to keep your mind off the surgery for now.
