How will my face look after my immediate dentures are put in?

How will my face look after my immediate dentures are put in?

I have had all but my six front teeth removed over the past months in preparation for my immediete dentures.  My dentist told me my "immediate" are actually going to be my final dentures with the reallignment to be done at a later time.  I have lost weight over the past 5 months or so from dieting, approximately 25 pounds so my face looks slimmer.  Though maybe the look I am seeing now is also from the teeth that were extracted.  My remaining extractions and the immediates both upper and lower are to be placed next Tues. with a follow up on Thurs. I have a very special event the following weekend and am hoping someone can tell me whether my face will look a lot fuller than it does now.  I realize it will "feel" it, but will I look slim in the face wise, from the weight loss or will it look like I have a big wod of gum in my mouth or someone punched me in the face?  I know this a vanity question but for me and maybe others a question hopefully someone can answer.  Thanks.

I got my dentures in july. It may make your face look a little fuller. When i got mine people couldn't really tell a difference in my face until i smiled. the only reason i say it may look fuller is because without all the teeth in there our faces start to sag a bit more. Mine is like that now because i have not been wearing them because i need a relignment. If your teeth looked anything like mine did before i got them removed you will be very happy with your final outcome. Having beautiful teeth and a smile. I will warn you though that eating is going to be a big adjustment for you it will take lots of time and practice to get used to and will probably be painful from the pressure on your gums until your healed.
