Cliff Notes:
-Currently have implants (custom silicone chin & jaw wrap around)
-Love how they look on me
PROBLEM: Implants became infected and all have to be removed (I'm devastated and angry. Removal is happening tomorrow by the way).
-I no longer trust nor want silicone and/or implants in my face as it's too risky and has already destroyed certain parts of my life (I.e. wasting time, money and opportunities due to necessitation of removal)
*At this point I'm only concerned with my chin: nevermind the jaw angles.
Looking for a viable and life long solution: Sliding Genioplasty seems to be the answer. I need a large advancement (14mm minimum).
Looking to hear from those of you who have had a SG with large advancements (14-15mm).
1. What has your experience been?
2. Who was your surgeon? (I really need some suggestions here)
I know about Gunson but apparently I need a referral from an Orthodontist to see him. Firstly, I've been living out of country so I have no ortho and second, my home in the US is not in California. I really wish I could just make an appointment to see him because on his website it states that he now does SG for cosmetic purposes.
Who are the other top surgeons for Sliding Genioplasties? (surgeons you would place with Gunson)
From implants to Sliding Genioplasty - couple questions
