Went back and did the Zygomatic Sandwhich Osteotomy that he couldn't perform in October. He moved the cheekbones forward 7mm and widened them with 7mm in one movement, he also added bone at the top of the cheekbones to make them appear higher. Very pleased with the result, the satisfaction of waking up, touching my face and feeling two solid protruding cheekbones was incredible. Still very swollen though.
Do not be a fool. A movement of 7mm forward is not possible. Laterally it is feasible.
In addition, I find it a nonsense to add iliac crest bone at the top of the cheekbones. It is very unpredictable and the risk of resorption is very high. A well-known surgeon from Switzerland once said to me that it is the material that is the first to be resorbed.
Moreover, it also causes bone erosion when used as an onlay and can get infected. Although it is not foreign material it "grows" into the bone just like each other material, even if it is fixed with titanium screws to prevent it from shifting. (Even if we only speak of a few millimeters, it is precisely these that make the difference).
It was a hip bone graft, so now I have a scar on each hip
You could have used Bio Oss or Hydroxyapatite (HA) blocks to fill the gap (Inlay), then you would have spared another scar.
