Trim vs Wedge - can I request the wedge technique?

May 11, 2025
Asked By:SyrNurse23 in Syracuse, New York

The plastic surgeon I consulted had suggested the trim technique. The more I read about it, the more I’d prefer the wedge technique. Do you think it would be reasonable to think my surgeon would do that technique instead and that I’d still get a good result? I don’t want to look unnatural or “Barbie-like”, as some would say.
