Curious as well, no reply yet either. Don't seem very professional, service in general in Europe seems atrocious.

Any other recommended surgeons?

Yes. Some of the pictures look a little old though. Could be that these are the best ones out of 100s. But I do think he's really good from what I can tell. I live 50 minutes away, so I'm thinking about a consultation to ask about SARPE.

Hi,
I am thinking about Mr Defrancq for my complicated revision which will need a downgraft, if you email him he will reply. He's probably the nicest surgeon I have been in contact with and really seemed to know what the issue was unlike some uk surgeons who have just been plain nasty.

His jaw does NOT look too narrow.  Its looks leaps and bounds better than his before picture.   I dont know what type of results people on this board are (realistically) looking for but not even a magician can't turn Harland Williams into Brad Pitt.  The case above is a perfect example of a good surgical outcome in which a guy can now lead a normal life without being self conscious.  You can be the best looking guy in the world but if you have no self confidence and constantly obsess over a few MM of jaw movement you aren't going to get very far in life.

I saw him on Saturday and he comes across as friendly and very knowledgeable, he pointed out a number of things with my face which have already bothered me.
He spoke about HA for the cheeks and he's done over 600 of these and says it doesn't move.

This is a good example of what surgery can do for certain people. The guy clearly had great features already, his flaws were all located on functional areas that could be corrected with the right surgeon, and if done right everything else would fall into place. The result is a life changer imo.

yeah Italia but does it actually integrate and become your own bone? Can you participate in contact sports after? What if you're injured in that area, will it act like normal bone or chip away?

Have no idea to be honest - It wasn't really my primary concern so when he said 'it doesn't move a gram' I left it at that because I knew I could ask him later down the line.

I went to see him once too. He pointed out some things that I was conscious of myself which was good, and seemed open to suggestions from me for what I would like done.

Going to have surgery with him is certainly something I'm considering.

However after reading about peoples experiences here with Mommaerts I'm feeling a little bit spooked about surgeries. Its Belgium too so possibly in my mind I'm drawing unfair links, lol.

You're most likely to get answers from patients who've done surgeries years ago, and their costs probably won't reflect what you need so it's not far from pointless to ask.

You have to email the surgeon in question or, even better, book a consultation. Everything else will just be guessing.
