29 year old female, double jaw orthognathic surgery, chin lengthening, rhinoplasty, cheek augmentation and fat transfer to face.
WORTH IT$18,000
I really wanted to do orthognatic surgery for many years now, after since I found out about my condition. In my late teen years I was always self conscious about my small lower chin and consulted with a plastic surgeon about getting liposuction. They offered to do a chin implant and liposuction. I didn't know about my deformity until I consulted with Dr Antipov to make my face beautiful and correct my bite I would need double jaw surgery with chin lengthening. I also decided to do rhinoplasty at the same time. After meeting many of Dr Antipovs patients during my office visits I was reassured I was in the best hands. It is hard to find a surgeon who will not only fix your bite but also make you look good.

The before picture looks just like me after wearing braces for 10 years. It destroyed my face. I'm so glad she was able to afford the surgery. I wish I could.

What was the condition diagnosed? I have seen so many doctors!!! I'm just tossed around like a hot potato with no answers

The orthodontist will usually send you to a surgeon for a consult if they think you are a candidate for this kind of surgery. In my case I was diagnosed with class 2 facial asymmetry.

did you throw up after waking up from surgery? every time I go under anesthesia I wake up nauseous and end up throwing up immediately. must be painful when u have work done on your face .
February 11, 2018
I did not. I was scared that I would, but I guess anesthesia in Russia is different. I brought barf bags with me from the states, and they asked why I brought those, they thought I was silly. They said no one has ever thrown up after waking up from anesthesia in there clinic. They use different drugs. Anesthesiologist said I will not be nausea's and I wasn't. Was so grateful for that. I was scared that I will throw up and it will go through my nose, but my nose was done at the same time and I was freaking out a little. Had no idea what to expect. But I felt fine, I was physically weak so I slept a lot first couple of days. They took fat from my thighs for the face, so my legs were sore, my arms were sore from the IV and my throat was dry and sore from being incubated for so long. Once they explained to my why this and why that ached a little I was reassured its normal and I stopped worrying and allowed myself to start healing. :))

If you ever have to go down again, ask for Zofran or an anti nausea pill. I heard they help.

Did anyone have success in getting insurance to pay for their Orthognathic Surgery? My upper and lower jaws are shortening to the point where I have been told that I will loose teeth soon. If so, PLEASE tell the the diagnosis they used.
May 9, 2017
Yes insurance usually covers this because it is a medical condition and these are done in hospitals where patients stay 1-3 nights in the care of nurses after surgery before they are discharged to go home

Wow! The doctor did a great job. Your face shape and facial proportions are now perfect!
What was the fat transfer used for? Did the same doctor who did your jaw/chin surgery also do your rhinoplasty?
April 4, 2017
He had his team with him and a female surgeon (Dr Gilova) took control when it came to Rhinoplasty. My whole surgery was 12 hours and I was told my nose took 5 hours of that. I cant imagine having to operate for that long on your own. Hovered over and having to pay attention to detail and not cut through a nerve etc, I'm glad he had his team. :))

Thank you for the details.
I think you looked very cute before, but you are perfect now.

Thank you :) the fat was used to inject under my eyes, to fill my chin dimple (i wanted it to be less dramatic). Basically they used my fat (took from my thighs) and used it as fillers on my face to reduce wrinkles :)) usually about 50% of the fat that is injected dissolves within 3-5 months and the rest stays more permanently. The fat transfer was for cosmetic reasons i didn't need it i just wanted it. :)
Dr. Gilova did my nose :))

You look incredible! Your doctors did an amazing job, truly. My weak dimpled chin needs the same. Did you have braces or anything prior? Love the fat transfer idea, too! I feel like a kindergartener because I'm definitely copying you; just need to save $20k! Please keep us updated. G'luck!
June 27, 2017
thank you :) yes I have been in braces for two years now. They are suppose to come off in the fall. I would say the braces were more painful than recovery lol and deff more annoying.
June 27, 2017
The fat transfer was used as fillers but more permanent. I was started to get wrinkles under my eyes, around my mouth etc. So they used my fat to fill them. About 50% of fat dissolves 3-4 months after transfer but the rest stays as a filler. They also used my fat to fill in the dimple so its not so dramatic. I'll post a new picture today since it will almost be 5 months. Swelling keeps going down. They also took some fat from my cheeks to give me defined cheeks and that that curve, it's not showing as much yet because I'm still swollen. I had a female surgeon do most of the rhinoplasty, because it was a difficult case and it took 5 hours for just rhinoplasty. But Dr. Antipov was there overseeing it I believe. It was all done at once.

Looking great! What kind of cheek augmentation did you get, aside from fat? Cheek implants?
February 11, 2018
I think they are grafted. I don't have any silicone or implants in my face. Just titanium and bone graft.
January 8, 2022
Hello I was just wondering what you ment by bone graft.... Does this go on your chin to help lengthen it?
September 27, 2017
Very impressive. How did you find the doctor?
February 11, 2018
He's a local surgeon where I live and has been highly recommended by a lot of people. Then I found out I can have this done in Russia because I was struggling with my insurance. I got really blessed to have found him.
Yep! You should be able to upload in the same area you add photos :)
