Nerve injury, disfigurement

I've met Dr Yaremcuk when I was very young, I've had cheek implants that had disfigured my eyes, and was uneven, throughout the years I come back in an effort to fix the mistakes that he has made, ultimately opting to remove it, that's when my face was truly and permanently disfigured as he hit a nerve which caused me Synkinesis where my lips would move upward everytime I would blink along with lax skin that I have that makes me look much much older than I am. I can't even begin to tell you the mental toll that this has taken on me, people who don't know me stare at me in the street, and some even make comments and mock me. The only form of living I can imagine now is living by myself with no social interaction. I'm already approaching 30 and truly feel like the last 10 years we're a waste. I truly wish there was a life that I could have had where I haven't even met Yaremchuk, as I have really no hope to improve my situation now. On the flip side masks are being enforced and for me this is probably the best thing about life in 2020. I didn't post this review out of malice but because I have no power to change what has already happened, I could prevent someone from falling into this trap. If I could advise my past self I would say please please please don't take your face for granted if people look at you as a human being and look at your face without shuddering when speaking to you, truly looking normal even not looking attractive but ordinary is a gift. To this day I dream of having one normal interaction with a human being as I did before my surgery, it's a shame I took this or granted and how life and people like Dr Yaremchuk are swiftly able to take this away.

Hi, I had silicone cheek implants which I removed after trauma caused shifting. I was considering Dr Y for secondary implants with a lift and in the end went woth another Dr who assured me fat grafting would give me the same look cheek implants would. He was wrong. The surgery didn’t go well. So now I’m looking at Dr Y for secondary malar implants and a lift. Can you give me some more details about your surgery? I’d be happy to give you the same. When Dr Y removed your implants did he do a MFL at the same time? I’ve heard that’s what he recommends.
