Removing Custom Jaw Angle Implant

[crystalcastles555]

I've made peace with removing my jaw angle implant. In June 2023, I got a customized medpor jaw angle implant (5mm in width with a slight dropdown). Ever since then, I feel it has been too bulky from the front. The side profile is objectively better, but I don't really care much about that. I've done quite possibly everything to slim it, including weight loss, buccal fat removal, buccinator myectomy, and perioral fat liposuction, but all were very limited. In March 2024, my surgeon shaved a few mm of my mid-mandible and part of the implant, along with a minor neck lift to reduce sagging, however, after 7 months, I still feel like it's too bulky. I prefer the less defined yet slimmer look of a triangular face than a square look. As someone who's almost 31, I'm tired of the process and would like it removed. Obviously, there's been a lot of money poured into this, but the waste of money really doesn't bother me, in all honesty. I tried and realized an implant just won't give me the angular look I thought I could get.

I also got a lip lift and rhinoplasty 4 months ago, so that's why I look different beyond the jaw.

You seem super knowledgeable in terms of surgeries. Where does your knowledge mainly come from? Forum?

I expected a more v-shaped jaw by slimming the area towards the chin and widening the posterior. While I suppose what I did helped, there is excessive fullness and a lack of significant definition. Also, the effectiveness of osteonomies are overblown and would at best give me very mild results, including a lot of downtime, since I didn’t have significant recession or deficiencies to begin with.

Many consultations with many doctors, plus I’ve also had many surgeries over the past 3 or 4 years. Some have been successful like my eyes, and some have not.. These forums are also helpful but sometimes they lack nuance and tend to parrot one or popular ideas on here without a firm understanding of what they’re actually talking about.

you don't think longer mandible would give better V?

Good job, I did the same with my jaw wraparound. Lip lift was a game changer for you by the way, looks great.

I agree it should be removed.
It has also made your mentolabial angle too deep from the side view.

Why would you get it removed? It looks good. You look like you have a high test natural chin, unlike alot of people who get surgery and I can tell they got it. If you want it to be a bit sharper just get really lean. But I wouldn't worry about it. It looks good.
