Hi, I'm a 21 yo man and the past january 13 i had orthognathic surgery, got paranal implants on both sides of my midface (MEDPOR implants), i wasn't happy about how my profile face looked like, so i decided to do this surgery along with a rhinoplasty (both functional and aesthetic). The surgery went well and the post op it's going ok aswell, i'm very happy with the change of my profile face, i think the surgeon really listened me, he did an awesome work on me, BUT... my front face has now undereye circles wich i didn't had before, i didn't consider how the implants would affect the appearance of my front face, and i'm seeing it.

I know i have to wait up to 3 months to heal and really get to see wich the final results are, but i can realize now, that there is not much swelling at this point (12 days after surgery), and i'm worried that the undereye circles are now a new feature on me.

If they stay, would it be reshaping (making the implants smaller) a solution to get the undereye circles less prominent?... What do you suggest?

Ps: My implants were introduced through my upper lip, i've seen they can also be placed directly through the nose....

In case of reshaping, is it possible to do it through the nose instead of my mouth again?

Thanks, I look forward to your responses.

Wow.  You must be one of the most beautiful men I've ever seen, both before and after surgery.  But about your concerns, I can definitely see swelling, and both mild swelling and bruising are normal after this surgery.  In fact, in your picture, the under-eye looks slightly bruised.  Give it another couple of weeks to see if the swelling diminishes and if it does and you see no change in the undereye, consult your surgeon as they may have some ideas.

I think your review may be more properly placed in rhinoplasty, though, since your complications are a result of the rhinoplasty.  What do you think?  Would you prefer to stay in jaw surgery, or would you like to be moved?  Thank you for reviewing!  And if you'd be willing to detail your experience with your jaw surgery, I'd be…well, extremely pleased.  :D

I wouldn't have bothered with lip augmentation you look less masculine now.

I don't think he got lip augmentation, the implants went through his lip so that's swelling.

Amazing. How bad was the swelling and pain for the paransal implants?

Everything was ok, finally i got nice results, my nose changed considerably because of the implants, but the surgeon knew what he was doing, im glad cuz it look all "natural", i have never had someone asking about my implants or my rhino, cause none notice them, about the undereye circles they are less noticeable now, i understand it is cause of the new volume i have in my midface. Im very fortunate, everything went well and im so happy with the results, all i have to say to you if you are interested in procedures like these, just be careful and study who are you going to trust your appeareance and your life. Good luck!

I don’t know what’s the sense of your implants and lip augmentation. You’re too much worried about your appearance. You should learn to accept yourself how you are and focus yourself more on the developpement of your intellect instead of your appearance.
