Updating to add the specific procedures I had done with Dr. Steinbacher.
Updating my previous post to add the specific procedures I had done with Dr. Steinbacher. Over the course of multiple surgeries, Dr. Steinbacher performed revision double jaw surgery / orthognathic surgery, revision rhinoplasty, revision septoplasty, browlift, addressed aesthetics, facial bone jaw implants, genioplasty, fat grafting, laser, prp on me. I'm grateful to Dr. Steinbacher (and his team, who are also amazing!) for his care and extensive skill in delivering both functional and aesthetic results that I'm incredibly happy with and which have improved my quality of life and confidence tremendously.
Incredibly Happy with Results of Multiple Surgeries with Dr. Steinbacher
I thought I'd share my before/after results from my surgeries with Dr. Steinbacher. I'm now about 9 months post-op from my revision DJS and browlift, and since my DJS revision last September, I also underwent a genioplasty and septorhinoplasty revision with Dr. Steinbacher in February of this year, to correct polybeak deformity, as well as straighten my septum, and address the contraction of my alar base on one side from previous revisions. So there is still some residual swelling under my chin and around my nose in these current before/after pictures, however, even at this stage of healing I'm super happy with my results and the healing process, especially my jaw and nose revision, and can't wait to see how everything looks as it continues to heal and at a year post-op.
I have a cleft lip and palate, and have had a multitude of previous surgeries and even revisions before going to Dr. Steinbacher, so I was hesitant to undergo such a intense revision surgery, particularly as revisions in general are more complex, and my history of cleft lip and palate and prior surgical reconstructions only added to that complexity. However, in comparing where I was pre-surgery with Dr. Steinbacher, to my results now, I'm so happy I did decide to go through with everything, and that he was able to successfully address my aesthetic concerns in addition to my functional needs. Additionally, he had to remove much excess fat grafting during my jaw surgery (which you can see really clearly in the 3/4 view photo how puffy my cheeks and especially the area around my lips was pre-surgery), and I'm so ecstatic to not feel like I have as much of a heavy upper shelf lip as before, even though I know it'll never be perfect because of my cleft.
All in all, I finally feel so close to the end of my surgical journey and I couldn't be more grateful. My experience with Dr. Steinbacher and his team at West River Surgery has been nothing but positive, from planning my surgery to post-op care.
I really can't recommend Dr. Steinbacher enough, both for complex revision cases, as well as reaching aesthetic goals.
