Dr Osborn and the CMF Team Are the Right Choice!

I had a consult with a doctor in Montreal 5 years ago for something unrelated and he let me know that my chin was actually under projected. I didn't think about it again for a long time but as I got older I realized that my face indeed looked way more balanced when I pushed my jaw down and forward. After some google searches, I found out about the Genioplasty procedure and began looking for doctors that specialized in it. A few doctors came up such as Dr. Jamali and Dr. Antell and I was considering going with one of these doctors initially. I am the type to over-do my research and one day I luckily stumbled upon Dr. Osborn answering questions on real-self related to this procedure. I really loved how he gave detailed responses that I could verify with the wealth of research I had already done. His consult charge was reasonable compared to other doctors so I decided to meet with him and consider him. When the consultation was done, I knew not to look any further and that he was the right doctor for this operation. He has such an excellent bedside manner and you can tell after just one conversation that he practices medicine at the highest standard. I had so many obscure questions and he was able to give me detailed answers that not only made medical sense but put my mind at complete ease. He is also reasonably priced because he practices in a smaller city and keeps a lean but efficient medical team (all of which are also an absolute pleasure too). I told him what my expectations were in terms of change and he agreed completely with my view on what should happen in chin advancement. Leading up to the procedure I was a bit concerned because I found out he does the procedure under heavy twilight sedation and not general anesthesia. I was worried that I'd be awake and able to understand and feel what was going on and initially preferred to have it under general. Thank god I didn't! Not only did I not feel any pain under the heavy twilight sedation, I honestly felt like I was floating on a blissful cloud as they worked on me! And when it was all done, I didn't have to recover from general for the next day or two and was feeling back to myself the moment I got out of the chair. Another thing I loved is I was in a dental chair and didn't have to take all my clothes off and go into a cold medical room onto an operating table. It was warm and comfortable and I felt much more at ease being sedated while fully clothed. The procedure was so quick! Maybe 45 minutes had passed before I stood up again, quicker than some dental work I've had done. I thought the recovery was going to be brutal because the bone had been cut and moved but I honestly didn't feel much pain at all. There was definitely swelling for the first few days and my chin and lower front teeth felt very numb but recovery on the pain meds prescribed was a total breeze! As long as you stay on your pain meds and eat a liquid diet until you're ready to chew more, the pain is almost unnoticeable. I am 2 months post-surgery now and every day I keep feeling and looking better. My chin perfectly suits my face now and it looks totally balanced. It is definitely important to massage the area continuously as you heal to prevent tightness from forming and becoming a permanent issue. I massage every day but I find I'm having to do it less as time goes on. The doctor and team have continued to follow up with me as I heal and have always been there to answer any questions or address any concerns I had in the last 2 months. At the moment I still have some numbness in my lower teeth but it is improving and my chin doesn't feel numb at all anymore. A full return of sensation is the norm for most patients and that is what I am experiencing as the months go by. For a while, my lower mouth was rigid when I would speak and it didn't move in a fluid way, but 2 months on, you wouldn't even be able to tell I had surgery! Even some people that have known me for ages have not commented on the change even though it is a marked improvement, showing just how natural the result is. If you are on the fence about whom to choose, whether it’s a Genioplasty or another procedure, choose Dr. Osborn and his team at CMF Surgeons. They charge less than big-name/big-city doctors do and are just as good if not better! They also offer payment plans should you not have all the money upfront which was great for me because it meant not having to wait to get the procedure done. Thanks to everyone at CMF and if you have any questions to ask me about my experience feel free to message me!
