We already talk in private

OK. that's why I created this thread. Now I can see here who is gonna have this. You know too many messages / threads....

well as I said it before, I'm cosidering high-lefort stuff since only this is viewable way to revert my face to closer what is used to be. However due to mixed opinion among surgeons, lack of documented non-sydromic cases, level of invasiveness, possibility of uncertain aesthetic results, post op complications and heavily fluctuating price, it's questionable how I will pull this plan into realisation.

do it in my way... just keep looking for right surgeon for reasonable price.. sending mails does not cost. remember an e-mail can go into SPAM folder. To reduce the risk, send description in first message (there should be information you are gonna send files), right after that, send another with files, but do not exceed 2MB. Just some good pictures, X-Rays, CT, your photos... most of us already know what kind of pictures are helpful for surgeons.

at some point you will notice, that generally you made enough number of consultations, then you will have ask yourself is it worth, or more simply can you live with this or not...if not - then undergo, if can - leave it. You won't have guarantee. From what I see you have not reached this point yet, but you are close

full zygo or ZSO?

99.9999% he would mean ZSO. f**king ZSO. I hate that operation. Sad thing is I will probably get it myself if I can't find someone to touch my infraorbital rims.

Optimistic: you know which surgeon / surgeons perform LF3 in non-syndromic patient. What's the problem ? and you know which surgeons have potential to do it - you have just to ask

many surgeon's names were typed on this forum

so ?

Some days I look in the mirror and it's not say bad Makes me think I'm crazy for considering it, and a doctor would be crazy to do it.

We will wait until I send more scans off to the doctors. I know which ones to approach.

Optimistic: when I look at your picture (avatar) I think everything is OK

The one dr. Z performs, I'm guessing ZSO? I don't think it touches the infraorbital rim.

Why do you 'hate' ZSO? Because it doesn't address infraorbital rim weakness?

ZSO doesn't address some of the main issues people presenting with weak malars have. Flat malars are coupled with recessed midface/infraorbital rims mostly. Adding width to that isn't doing a whole lot. The entire thing needs to be brought forwards.

I see. I am seeing dr. Z again tomorrow, I will ask him about this (anterior movement).
