alyalya Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 hello! I've read a tons of forums, articles and bits bobs the thing is I'm getting more and more confuse here's my case.. I have a squarish jaw I want to go for Jaw reduction. right now my choice is dr OZ, Banobagi and EverM (if I had a translator) first thing my concern is someone replied to me that dr OZ is kinda blacklisted whilst dr OZ is the only one whose replied to my email. beside i heard nothing from Banobagi. I want a suggestion on which clinic/ hospital should I opt for square jaw surgery? I know there's a lot of forum who've been talking about this but I cant find to seem what's the best clinic
felix77 Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 The term 'jaw surgery' is often used incorrectly by some plastic surgery clinics, to confuse patients - in my opinion. There are two kind of surgeries involving facial bones: Orthognathic Surgery and Facial Contouring. Orthognathic surgery is a surgical operation that straightens the position of upper and lower jaw and changes occlusion, resulting in a harmonious facial line. It's a more fundamental surgery than facial contouring because it balances teeth, gum, and facial bone as a whole. Facial contouring is a surgical operation that changes the exterior of facial bone with no effect on occlusion. It corrects the exterior parts of bones composing facial contour. Square jaw reduction - in your case - is part of facial contouring. So there should be more available surgeons/clinics to choose from - as long as the surgeons have the experience and skill in craniofacial surgery. Note that not all plastic surgeons can do this safely and correctly. On other side, orthognathic surgery requires a surgeon with dentistry knowledge. The more specific term is 'oral and maxillofacial surgery'. The real oral and maxillofacial surgeon must be a dentistry graduate, then he takes oral and maxillofacial specialization. So an oral and maxillofacial surgeon is NOT THE SAME as a common plastic surgeon - totally different. Be careful with surgeons or clinics that offer the so called 'two-jaw surgery' or 'maxillofacial surgery' without proper qualification in that field. Many botched 'jaw surgeries' done by these kind of surgeons/clinics. If you go to the real oral and maxillofacial surgeon, the risk of failure or complication will be minimal, for sure. What is the best clinic/surgeon? Do your own research based on the surgeons' CV and experiences.
babyinthesky Posted May 24, 2014 Posted May 24, 2014 I also would like to do square jaw surgery and seems like EverM has a good reputation from reading post on the forum. Have you tried botox? I'm thinking of trying that out first to see if I can use that as a less invasive and safer alternative..
alyalya Posted May 25, 2014 Author Posted May 25, 2014 well... i have, it's my 4th times using botox. i get botox every 5-6 months it works for me most of the time, but then i calculate 4 times botox is almost a bit the same for mandible surgery...and it only last for 2 years so i think why dont i get the permanent ones? in my case mandible surgery botox can be very addictive though and it works for me....but its only temporarily i think about everM too though but as someone who's neither speak korean nor chinese i sort of have difficulties to go there unless i hire a translator. i've been searching banobagi and daprs though. will tell you the result later
poredoor Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 Hi there, I'm planning to do face contour because I've a short chin. Banobagi and Wonjin are on my list. I prefer to go a big hospital over clinic in term of professional. Has anyone got any consultation with them? Pls share. I have waited the response from Banobagi for a week. Huh!!
alyalya Posted May 26, 2014 Author Posted May 26, 2014 Hi... i emailed banobagi along with my photos to get a facial contouring but i hear nothing from them til now. Been a month!
alyalya Posted May 26, 2014 Author Posted May 26, 2014 Yes! Forgot to mention felix77! Thanks Anyway, i just wanna get a jaw reduction which is mandible surgery or facial contouring...what else do they call it again? Hehe. I wanna done it at EverM or Daprs but EverM doesnt have in house translator
ac40 Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 I am thinking of DAPRS or TLPS. I don't like EverM because it is dental clinic.
alyalya Posted May 27, 2014 Author Posted May 27, 2014 Wow... Really? But the thing about EverM is they specialized in facial contouring and daprs is somewhat beyond my budget
ac40 Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 Even if EverM specializes in facial contouring, I want have fat graft or maybe eyes, too. I want to do it at the same time. I heard that DAPRS and TLPS is also specialized in facial contouring.
flowerygirl Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 im also waiting for banobagi reply for quite some time already. Im looking at doing zygoma and mandible reduction, genioplasty. Ive shortlisted banobagi, DAPRS, JW, Wonjin, Dream and Euroclinic. Anyone here has jaw surgery done in any of the clinics? Which surgeon in good at jaw surgery?
alyalya Posted May 27, 2014 Author Posted May 27, 2014 Thanks for your info! Sure will check TL PS. If it suits my budget would look forward to consult with them. I just want a facial contouring though, especially square jaw reduction. Do you know how much it is in TLps?
marenbraga Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 Hi, im transexual and i am searching for surgeons to do my facial feminization surgery. anyone knows a good surgeon for that?
alyalya Posted May 27, 2014 Author Posted May 27, 2014 Hi marenbraga, do you mean facial feminization is facial contouring? If yes, then these clinics is specialized in facial contouring. Here's my list : -EverM -Daprs -Banobagi -TL Ps (still searching though) Hope this help. I also want to get my square reduction done and still searching on it
cix123 Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 EverM doesn't have a translator which is why I think they're not very well known to international patients. They speak basic English. Enough so that you can kakoo them to ask about your procedure and the price, but that's probably it.
