Really devastating to hear bad news after surgeries, wish I could impart more of what I know with you guys to prevent many of you from going through with this stuff.
I'm sorry to say, but it's incredibly foolish from my perspective. The so-called experts on this forum really lack a fundamental understanding of what you're working with here. The 'craft' of a surgeon is nothing more than several very primitive and often times unpredictable tools. Craft is something useful to an artist or engineer, but engineering aesthetics with such a primitive tool set is FOOLISH!
And I should know, I do 3D art for a living. We have pinpoint control over every vertex, and we still get uncanny valley s**t all the time. This really became clear to me when I took my DICOM scan into ZBrush (professional sculpting tool) to create a visualization of what adding volume to the gaunt areas of my face would look like. I think I did a great job, but I also had TOTAL control over this process. I can add/subtract/undo/revert/start over. Surgeons have maybe 10% of this level of control... you can't go back, you can't undo and you don't have the same level of precision. Worse, any pre-visualization is so laughably crude, it's arguably just straight up misleading. Surgical procedures have been sort of warped from 'good enough' corrections of facial deformities to promising perfection - and we aren't even close to there yet.
I hope you're able to correct this Lazlo, but be conservative man... surgeons are just salesmen with a kinda crappy tool set.
