madambutterfly89 Posted July 21, 2019 Posted July 21, 2019 Hi Guys, Can anyone’s please recommend a surgeon who does custom cheek implants? After my bad cheekbone reduction I have no way to regain volume and contour without an implant:/ any recommendation would be appreciated.
kellykellybaby Posted July 21, 2019 Posted July 21, 2019 Hi, i am going to Korea on August 5th to meet a doctor to have my jaw fixed. I did v line surgery few years ago and i do like the frontal view of my face but my profile look weird because the doctor cut way too much bone and there is no angle at all .Now i need jaw reconstruction surgery , I will need to take 3d xray to have consultation with doctor, then my doctor will make my 1：1 face mode so he can discuss with me , then he will make my implants .
madambutterfly89 Posted July 21, 2019 Author Posted July 21, 2019 Does your Jaw look anything like this?
kevinator Posted July 21, 2019 Posted July 21, 2019 Apparently TLPS makes custom medpor implants. Their quotes were pretty high though but I’m really interested too. Dr Oh of Regen also does customs but only silicone.
madambutterfly89 Posted July 21, 2019 Author Posted July 21, 2019 I wouldn’t recommend medpore. If here’s an infection or if shifting occurs, medpore is extremely difficult to remove because our own vessels will grow into them. Think about the underlying damage it can cause. Silicone and peek seems to be the safer bet.
kevinator Posted July 21, 2019 Posted July 21, 2019 Yeah I realize it is much much riskier and almost irreversible but tissue ingrowth is actually the reason why I prefer medpor. I did a lot of research on different implant materials like HA paste titanium, bio oss, goretex but I like medpor because it almost becomes actual bone. Anyways, please kepe me updated if you find more clinics that do custom cheek implants. I’m very interested as well and if silicone is the only option in Korea, I might as well go for it. Thanks
madambutterfly89 Posted July 21, 2019 Author Posted July 21, 2019 Will do. Please also keep me in mind with your journey.
kellykellybaby Posted July 21, 2019 Posted July 21, 2019 Hi guys, my doctor says he will PMMA implant, anybody heard of this? something like bone cement.. easier to hand crafti guess. anyone go Korea around August 5th ?
kellykellybaby Posted July 21, 2019 Posted July 21, 2019 Hi, mine is more like this. but little bit better than her. so i need to add jaw angle only without widen my face.
madambutterfly89 Posted July 22, 2019 Author Posted July 22, 2019 Hmm not to fond of pmma cement. Check out peek implant which is like bone and biocompatible
