Aesthetics / Re: Please help! Surgeon recommendation for chin reduction surgery
« Last post by GJ on March 23, 2024, 08:50:03 AM »
4mm is a lot. What happened to cause that much excess height?

I'm not sure on a surgeon who specializes in that...I think any good surgeon should be able to handle it. The big risk is cutting the mentalis a 2nd time. You could get droop, damage the muscle, erratic scar tissue that causes strange sensations, etc, so make sure to ask about all that.

Aesthetics / Please help! Surgeon recommendation for chin reduction surgery
« Last post by Linda91 on March 23, 2024, 07:47:42 AM »
Hi there,

I am looking for a surgeon who specializes in chin reduction surgery.
I would like to have some excess height (4mm) removed.
Can anyone recommend a surgeon who is great at chin reduction surgery and has a good aesthetic eye?
I am open to surgeons worldwide.
Any recommendation is more than welcome :)

It will be interesting to see what the merger of quantum computing and AI over the coming five years produces, in general, but specifically in terms of jaw surgery and dentistry. We're finally on the cusp of technologies that work together in a positive feedback loop that can lead to quicker breakthroughs.

Hey all,

Just a head's up: there is a private forum. Since people have asked, here are the credentials:

1. Long-standing member who has a positive track record.
(or)
2. A member here vouches for you.
3. A $10 donation, which goes toward hosting/site maintenance.

I can't guarantee anything posted in private stays there since I have no control over that other than to set some parameters here that try to vet the users in there, but it sure as heck beats the odds of using public forums if you care about that sort of thing.

Aesthetics / Re: Modified lefort 3 or other ways of cheekbone augmentation?

I'm not even sure if this is possible, but to avoid the step off it would require sculpting some type of graft (bone or HA) in the eye socket area - just seems super sketchy and un-probabilistic it would work. To imagine a step off, image a staircase with steps. As one step moves forward in relation to the other, there's a ledge that's left at that transition point. That's what makes them steps. So, I think you'd have this near your eye socket. My guess is your eyes would look more deep set as the bone in front moves forward, and if a ledge forms, that would be an entirely different look. Kavan, do you agree with this? I think a ledge would form...

You've seen me GJ. Step off makes sense. I'd assume bone would heal and close off but I guess it doesnt? I can't have the mental image of the step off or where it is in my head right now but it makes sense. Sinn was a master. He made that surgery and Earl recovered better than lefort 1 people do. I just don't want having 0 CHEEKbones and the pressure in my eyes of having no infraorbital floor. Varbrah also got it, i've tried getting in contact with him to no success. I find no one, no doctor or person willing to talk about it. Only threads here made in the past. Implants are a joke, you age and they look worse and worse plus it's just aesthetic. I want a permanent solution and solves not only aesthetic but the fact that my eyes are almost floating. I keep looking and contacting doctors. I contacted Raffaini but he doesn't seem to do it plus he wants people to go to italy for consultation.

I want to keep hope up but seems like i'm late since sinn retired. I want to contact people he trained, but I doubt anyone will do modified lefort 3 for aesthetic or flying eyeballs reason.

Aesthetics / Re: Too much jaw and chin bone removed what are my options?

We need to see scans of your jaws.

This could just be an inelastic skin issue, which some people have.

Okay, so I have spoken with Earl via email a lot in the past, and even he wasn't completely satisfied with the procedure. On top of that, if you think about it, it's going to leave a step off since you can't really curve/shape bone specifically enough. There is also of course blindness risk to an L3 cutting so close to optical nerves. An implant is probably going to be better and more reversible. Nothing is really ideal here. I'd tread slowly and lightly and get at least 10 opinions on something this serious.

He wrote me ranting about me letting people share their experiences here. I probably still have those...I think he threatened me, too. An awful person for sure.
