madambutterfly89 Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Hi guys, I posted here before but didn't get much feedback. Trying again and hopefully the right person will see this. I had my zygoma and jaw reduced and now planning on cheekbone revision. Obviously this surgery has ruined my confidence and held me back. I know people here are not doctors but interested in getting some feedback and advice. As you can see from the Ct scan below, I have gaps in ny cheekbone. I don't know for sure wheather my surgeon cut a price of cheekbone out or if he cut the zygoma in the front and back then set the bone in or medically to narrow the face. I don't know wheather I need a bone graft from hip to fill in the gap in order to widen the zygoma back out or if I can just reposition the bones again. Any feed back would be appreciated. Thank you.

pompom877 Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 babe. I would suggest you contact surgeons like Dr Lee at the face dental to give you a better idea of what is needed to be done. even if u don't end up doing with him, at least u have SOME idea of what is needed.. from my research he seems to be specializing in the face which is what u need. I'm sorry your cheekbones turned out this way.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madambutterfly89 Posted January 1, 2019 Author Share Posted January 1, 2019 I appreciate your advice, thank you. I wonder if my cheekbones are in normal anatomical position? I know Dr lee is specialized with jaw but is he skilled with cheekbones too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pompom877 Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 not entirely sure.. but from what I understood, he specializes in maxillofacial surgery which also includes cheekbones for this specialization. I haven't been able to find many surgeons who specialize in this yet in korea. I googled search for u, (didn't research reviews.) there is another clinic called EU that saw cheekbones issues and did a decision as well. seprrate note: I'm planning to consult with Dr lee for my chin genioplasty because I don't believe it when people say my chin is too small and MUST have an implant.

yongyongx Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 I’m sorry that you’re expecting this complication. Do you mind sharing which clinic you got this done at? I can’t offer any advice, unfortunately. As someone else mentioned, the best option would probably be to consult with a doctor or even the clinic that’s performed your surgery.

madambutterfly89 Posted January 1, 2019 Author Share Posted January 1, 2019 I hope anyone who plans on getting cheekbone reduction really reconsider, it's not what you expect. it creates more issues and doesn't look normal in real life. The photoshop before and after are very enticing and got me into this mess. I hope people do their research and learn from mine and many others mistakes. Wish everyone the best and love yourself more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yumigumi Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 http://3dfit.co.kr/en/ You should check out the H clinic for cheekbone reconstruction. Judging from his videos, Dr. Baek is constantly trying to come up with new techniques for reconstruction after botched jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motty26 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Would be awesome if u can also include the name of the clinic where u went to so that people will avoid it, but for some reason u never share it even in DM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heathermiddle Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I also did facial bone surgery at EU too. They are pretty good I guess. Cause I am still waiting for deswelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madambutterfly89 Posted January 2, 2019 Author Share Posted January 2, 2019 I think EU is prob good with initial cheekbone reduction but revision might be more difficult for them to help with. Make sure you take vitamin c , vitamins from food and antioxidants. Don't stress and rest. Wish you the best on your recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pompom877 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 sometimes people cannot openly share because it's a legal case.. so.. just ask for it in DM. it's her choice to share it. chill okay. ^^v Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
