I cant say enough positive things about Dr. Bryan Mendelson and his team. Bryan is truly a caring, inspirational and delightful man. It was clear that Bryan's focus was on achieving the best result for me and not on $$$ which I found incredibly refreshing and it gave me reassurance and confidence in the final result. I found his staff to be super lovely and caring. The after care was meticulous and extended far past the date of the surgery. I received complimentary LED healing treatments every time I came into the surgery, I found this so relaxing and beneficial to the healing process. Appointments were regular and the attention and encouragement I received was great, I always felt happy and uplifted after leaving the clinic even on those difficult days. I received 3 complimentary physio therapy treatments for healing and swelling by Joan Bortolotto. This therapy involved an ultrasound to break down the swelling in my face, I found this so effective I paid for extra treatments. I seriously cant recommend Dr. Bryan Mendelson's practice enough! its been the best decision I have made!

I don't quite get how they use hydroxyapatite. 1. So it cannot be preformed like pre formed facial implants? But the substance gets formed during surgery over your facial bone structure, correct? 2. The surgeon puts hydroxyapatite over your bone structure and hydroxyapatite grows into your bone, correct?

That's all correct. It's not an easy surgery to preform, it's takes an experienced and specialised sergion, this is why not many people know about this procedure. Theres a lot more benefits than preformed implants.

Please can you share the " benefits",thanks.

WOW! ur last photo is amazing. I'm also considering getting cheeckbone implants, thanks for the long review!

I am amazed! Wow!!! Very good results!! Congratulations!!!!

You results are amazing. Dramatic and yet very natural. Do you know if anyone in the U.S. uses hydroxyapatite? Fillers sometimes look waxy and implants can look fake. I am the female version of your before picture droopy and chubby, as you say, despite being in shape and lean. I had my top jaw moved forward to correct an under bite but I still have a flat face with no definition . I'm hesitant to get implants based on many reviews.

kathysurf: Bone implants will be available early 2016. A medical company in Netherlands called Xilloc will be first to have custom made bone implants avaiable. the bone implants are made of calcium phosphate, a main constituent of human bone.Few months after bone implants placed, the calcium phosphate develops over the natural bone. There's been clinical studies of patients having this bone implant for over a period of 3 yr studies. ( I like the thought of something more natural.)
