madambutterfly89 Posted May 22, 2019 Posted May 22, 2019 I know seeing a surgeon for a consult about zygoma revision is important but I know there’s always a financial incentive on the surgeons part. Im hoping to get sound advice/recommendation from others so that I won’t put myself in a bad situation again. Getting zygoma/jaw reduction was possibley the biggest mistake of my life and I hope I don’t waste my money and repeat the same mistake again. I was wondering if it will make a difference to elevate my zygoma to a higher position to bring more width/volume back to my upper face. Along with some type of cheek lift. Enclosed is my ct scan to illustrate what I’m talking about. The line is wher I would like to elevate the bones—I was told I might need a bone graft from my hip to fill in the gap in order to elevate the bones back out but not certain. Any advice would be appreciated. I know I would never get my cheekbones to what t was but hoping for some improvements.
madambutterfly89 Posted May 22, 2019 Author Posted May 22, 2019 Or would it be better to get custom cheek implants?
mazikeen Posted May 22, 2019 Posted May 22, 2019 I think using material harvested from your body is always the best option but in your case I think custom cheek implants would be a better option. Have you ever consulted with Dr. Lee from TFD regarding revision? I believe he also does custom cheek implants. I feel so bad for you whenever I see your posts after such a harrowing experience & I really admire your tenacity & hope you find a solution soon.
