Finally scheduled. Kinda freaking out.

I would’ve updated this a long time ago except that I never realized anyone replied to it so I feel bad for not doing so lol. All in all, I’m OK with my decision, the only thing I’m extremely unhappy about at the end of one year is the complete transformation of my face. I will post pictures before and after but they definitely did not put back everything they took and it shows in the way my mouth hangs on my face. It sounds so stupid to say and I don’t mean to sound ungrateful because I know so many people want this procedure and are unable to pay for it and I am blessed and grateful beyond measure that I was able to, but I feel like I just traded one insecurity for another and I have a hard time even looking in the mirror anymore. I still hate my looks, just for different reasons. I do not look like myself and it bothers me a lot. I am going back next week to have my device remade as it has a crack in it and it’s under warranty so I am happy to report that they do honor the warranty and they have taken great care of me since my procedure which was extremely straightforward and not painful at all. I had very minimal swelling or pain following my procedure. I’m really hoping when they remake this device that if we make a few changes it may give me back some of the shape to my face but I don’t have a lot of hope because I think they just took too much of my ridge and I don’t think I’m ever going to get my face shape back. This is extremely disappointing for me, as getting this procedure done was a 20 year dream of mine and it took me about that long to save up the money and ironically not having a denture face was the entire reason I wanted implants rather than dentures and here I am with denture face 30 grand later. To be clear I don’t blame Golpa, I think it’s just my crap luck… or maybe it’s the universe punishing me for not appreciating my looks when I had them.. lol who knows.

So i'm scheduled to have my procedure at Golpa in Vegas 10/1. To be honest i'm not 100% sure i've chosen the right place or method but my first choice wasn't logical for me only because it required a few more trips and a smidge more money, both of which i think are worth it, i just don't have the extra moola. :/ So, Golpa is my runner-up... and really, nothing can be any worse than it is as i type this, so..
So far I will say I am VERY surprised at the lack of efficiency in the scheduling and booking process. Trying not to let that sour me on them just yet but I feel like the communication thus far has not been the greatest. I'm only clear on how it works because i've studied and researched it to death for so long and I'm really just putting all my faith in the hope that i'll get a different first impression when I get there. Will definitely update as I go. Wish me luck!
