Hey guys,
Finally, I decided on it, although it was not easy for me to show my face, even if only partially. But before moving on to the main part of this post, I will tell you a short story about myself.
I have a rather weak lower third of my face, so visually, I definitely look like an Incel. But somehow I managed to get a good education and achieve some financial results, compared with my classmates. You could call me a workcel, quite close to slavecel, but that is another story. Somehow I have reached the stage when I achieved a financial opportunity, when I can fix my lower third that bothered me from the moment I realized that my face will never change again. So now I decided to fix it and started looking for a doctor who would help me solve this problem.
Quite frankly, I just recently started participating in the looksmax community, I mean like posting on the forum and communicating with people, although I have been watching it for a long time. And of course, the name of Dr. Eppley was always there with all the similar results that I want to achieve. I thought to solve my problem by installing a silicone wraparound in my face, which will enlarge and advance my lower third. For this scenario Dr. Eppley would be the first candidate whom I would be willing to confide in.
I was also aware that there are orthognathic surgeries that solve the same problems, as well as osteotomy with one's own bone (Chin Wing). Searching for hashtags on Instagram, I found the account of Dr. Andreishchev, which had several good results, but they were much less than Dr. Eppley's. But I was interested in the principled opportunity of making this operation, because even if I am not satisfied with the result obtained by cutting off and moving my own bone, then I can always put an implant there afterwards, that is why I decided to study his page for more details.
I also found a very interesting video on his page, where he shows how the bone has almost resorbed under silicone implant and he said that it always happens. It seemed absurd, because lots of people in the forum have such implants. I even opened a thread here regarding this not so long time ago.
At the end I decided to write to Dr. Eppley and Dr. Andreishchev about my case and sent them both my photos, you can find our conversations about what came of it in the attached pictures.
Now let's get back to the main topic of this post. I want to ask the community for help in sorting out this situation. I don't know what would be the best solution for my case? Wraparound Silicone implant or bimax advancement + chin wing?
Pros and cons:
Advantages of silicone - it is simple and it gives quite stable results.
Disadvantages of silicone - the bone resorption undreath ?????
Advantages of own bone - no implants, but limited abilities of enlargement - ?????
Disadvantages of own bone - maybe the bone will not grow together - ?????
But this is just about approaches, let's talk about doctors:
Silicone implantations - has anyone done a wraparound and done CT after a few years. Is this resorption really a bone settlement and just a passive adaptation as Dr. Eppley said in his Instagram or it is something more?
Maxillofacial surgeries - require very high skills of a surgeon, has anyone done an operation with Dr. Andreishchev? Is he reliable enough to trust? Are there any real cases of his surgeries on the forum?
P.S. Guys I hope we can discuss all this and you could help me to sort out my case. Thanks to everybody in advance.
