Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

2 months after surgery
Apologies for the delay. I have been wanting to post for a while.
@Jwc2london - I had ear pinning done, that's it. For some reason, it looks smaller though! I have attached updated pics. Although from a medical perspective, I think the doc's done a good job, I'm not sure if this much pinning was required given the size of my face. Per the last pic, my ears are almost not visible from a frontal view. I don't know any better though, so any opinions will be appreciated! I have a number of additional procedures planned as indicated above, however, am unable to proceed due to being unsure on this one.

3rd day after surgery - comments anyone?
Neck lipo - still some swelliing, I'm wearing a compression band most of the time and using ice packs 2-3 times a day.
Buccal removal - same as above
Otoplasty - ears are still swollen. Stitches on the outside will be removed tomorrow and the ones behind the ears in a couple of weeks. For now, my ears look too small and are taped right into the sides of my head. It looks a bit unnatural given that I have a wide face. The Doctor did say that it would spring back a couple of mm after stitches are removed. 2 mm sounds very insignificant. I understand from reading some other posts on this site that if a lot of cartilage has been removed, reversal is difficult, but possible in the first month - a bit nervous - anyone willing to comment?

I am on a facial transformation journey-...
I am on a facial transformation journey- Otoplasty, Buccal fat removal, neck lipo, chin augmentation, and rhinoplasty. I finished the first 3 (easier ones) yesterday in a 2-hour procedure.
I have attached before and after (1 day post op pictures). I panicked as I saw myself in the mirror, esp the ears looking overcorrected ( but I hear this is normal initially and will expand). The ears look a bit deformed (the upper half smaller than the lower for some reason) and possibly pinned in too much. From the frontal image, the ears are barely visible. Note that the stitches are still in.The buccal and neck areas are swollen at this stage, but I’m less concerned. Any thoughts would be appreciated
I shall aim to provide regular updates with pictures going forward

Pleasant bedside manner. Good and prompt communication before and after surgery. Will update this section as I go along
