Was your upper jaw shortened? I too have a long face and want my maxilla shortened but I don’t have a gummy smile and I’m afraid my teeth won’t show enough afterwards.

 

Dr. Lee from The Face Dental told me he can push cheekbones out, he referred to it as zygoma expansion. I haven’t had a reduction, I just want more prominent cheekbones. He says he has done it before for people who want a revision after zygoma reduction. However, you should definitely ask him (and others) personally if you’re really interested because I’m not 100% sure this information is valid

 

So basically this doctor in the US fixed your problem by pushing out your zygomatic bones and stabilizing them with screws and plates?

 

Can you tell us which clinic she went to?

 

I will probably be going to Korea this summer and I have so many questions, but nobody who has been through it seems to be willing to answer them. I don’t feel comfortable asking them here, in public (and I don’t know how to pm you here) so could we talk over KakaoTalk?

 

What exactly do you and your family consider as “very dangerous surgeries”. I think that for a young and healthy person the dangerousness of most cosmetic surgeries is pretty much the same.

 

Do you mean that the screws integrated with the bone? Are they giving you any trouble and you want them removed?

 

Yeah sure! But you can also add me on KakaoTalk, my ID is Areti Karamitrou

 

I’m getting double jaw surgery at The Face Dental in June. Maybe you want to go together? It’s my first time and I’m going alone.

 

I’m going in June 2020 and I’ve chosen TFD (although I won’t make place a deposit before having a face to face consultation). I’m traveling alone and it all seems rather scary and I’d love to have a westerner surgery companion.

 

Did you bring more than 10k? Did you have any problems with declaring it (at the airport in the US or when you got to customs at Incheon?)

 

I will be going to TFD in June 2020. When exactly are you going?

 

I would like to join the group too. I’m going to Seoul in June for double jaw surgery, genioplasty and zygoma expansion (which I didn’t know existed, but Dr Lee has recommended it)

 

I’m going in June 2020
