@DeeDee when i first started researching, i kept falling for the pretty websites and high follower counts but then realized it's all marketing. like @OppaStatus mentioned, making sure the surgeon is board-certified and actually the one doing your surgery is huge. not all but some places have someone else do the consult and then you're passed off to a random surgeon on the day, when you get knocked out (ghost doctors). another red flag i've seen people mention is when they push combo procedures you didn’t even ask about or try to rush you into booking during the consult. or when they dodge technical questions or give vague answers about risks and recovery. def trust your gut on stuff like that for zygoma and jaw surgeries, i also heard to check if they do CT scans and surgical sims before giving a plan. avoid clinics that schedule like three surgeries back to back with the same doc. quality over quantity for real which procedure are you leaning toward most right now? curious if you've ruled any out already too
