just had surgery with Dr Gunson
« on: November 16, 2014, 06:53:17 PM »
All went well, (big airway and good occlusion  :) ) minus one thing: my negative vector orbit was seemingly not addressed and postoperatively I have scleral show and a suborbital rim volume deficiency probably exacerbated by the ccwr :( could this be from the swelling pulling my skin? Ideas?

Unless you have something like a Le Fort III then there's just no way that jaw surgery is going to address the issues you mentioned. Did you have HA grafts?

Yea probably being too much of a perfectionist he did his best with my existing craniofacial structure I suppose. He put HA on my cheeks and it looks really good at certain angles but I was surprised that it's mostly given lateral projection i.e. broadened my midface  (which is good) whereas I really thought I'd be getting more anterior projection. He didn't want to do too much (or any as it turns out) suborbital augmentation he said as I have "deep set eyes" and on balance he thought augmentation of the orbits rim would make it look like my eyes were in tunnels (he even made tunnels with his hands to visually demonstrate his point). I don't know if that was mistaken though as now my eyes area looks sunken hollow and dished out, I'm just hoping it's the swelling exaggerating that look. Everything else is perfect aesthetically,  beautiful jawline

All things considered, are you feeling alright?

Pre-op did you not have scleral show, and now you do? How would that be possible?

Thanks for your post, and take care :)

I had it before but it's noticeable now (the negative vector orbit) cause everything else was corrected so it stands out my eyes look quite sunken is what I mean. Otherwise I'm happy big airway good bite :)

Yes. How is your under eye area?

i'd love to see pics and i can give you some analysis of your lower eye/negative orbit situation since I've become an expert on this topic.

Reference for what I see as Average suborbital for comparison

Was it right to not HA augment suborbitally? See above for explanation

I heard A/G charge a fortune for HA paste.  Honestly, I don't think it does s**t.  You probably made the right call.

Thanks for taking the time to post. Can I ask how your joints are doing?

I think you look really good.
