Facial Waiting and Implants - New York

I am a 10 year cancer survivor. I had neck and throat cancer. After a year of radiation and a radical neck dissection. This fantastic life saving procedure unfortunately, left with facial disfiguration. I was so pleased to be alive, that I had lived with disliking what had become of my face for several years.

Through the aid of the Internet and a year of research, I selected Dr. Oleh Slupchynskyj He comprised jaw, cheek and a chin implant to give my face fullness and structure.

I am so impressed with the outcome of his work that I felt the desire to share my positive and stellar experience with you. Because this would normally be a private matter for me. But, I do want other individuals who may have the need for facial reconstruction to consider implants. It has certainly helped me look and actually feel better.

I am a three time cancer survivor. I was diagnosed with neck and other cancers over nearly two decades ago. Unfortunately. These procedures, in conjunction with radiation, left me with facial waiting.

I was so pleased to meet with Dr. Slupchynskyj to discuss creating a facial implants. After the initial healing process, much to my ultimate delight. I now see and have a fuller and healthier face

I am so pleased that I want to share with anyone who may have this disorder to understand that there's a positive solution.

Unfortunately, infection and or rejection set in....

Unfortunately, infection and or rejection set in. Both jaw implants had to be removed.
At this point, I remain rather discouraged. I meet with Dr. Slupchynskyj in a two weeks and can only hope he has some type of solution.

Please remove me from your forum. I am so angry...

Please remove me from your forum. I am so angry over the outcome of my jaw and other procedures done. That I would not recommend anything surgical at this time. I have nothing but negative and horrible things to donate to you about my surgeon. I also do not appreciate being able to google this information attached to my full name. Again I have nothing to really add then buyer beware and to remove me from Realself.

Great review?
