Sliding Genioplasty By Dr Noorman Van Der Dussen
Before I start I want to say that I have been under the care of Dr Noorman Van Der Dussen for some procedures in the past (Cheek Implants, Buccal fat pad removal and septo-rhinoplasty) so I already had faith in him. He has been operating for many many years and it really is a privilege to still be worked on by him. I initially wanted a more defined jawline as I felt like my face was bottom heavy. He suggested that the best way forward was a sliding genioplasty along with some neck liposuction and finally some botox in my masseter muscles.
I arrived in Belgium a few days before my operation and stayed at the B@B Notarishuis which is run by a family member of Dr Van Der Dussen’s colleague and and has a great and comfortable atmosphere. Many of the visitors staying here are patients at the clinic and everything is taken care of amazingly. After arriving I visited Dr NVDD at the Singleberg clinic a few minutes walk from the B&B and we discussed the procedure one last time.
On the day of the surgery I wasn’t too worried as I’d already had procedures done in the past. I went under and came out of surgery a little bit numb but not in a lot of pain, probably thanks to the morphine.
My recovery was pretty unremarkable. Over the next few days I swelled up like a balloon, had trouble eating solid foods and had numbness in my teeth. I had to wear a chin strap for around a week, which was pretty annoying but not the end of the world. You’ll need soft foods and protein drinks for the first week or so.
Over the next 3 weeks 70 percent of my swelling went down, however I still have some slight tightness in the bottom of my jaw when I smile, and my lower teeth are still slightly numb. I have no doubt that this will recover more as time goes on.
All in all I am more than happy with the result, I would say it has surpassed my expectations and would definitely recommend visiting the clinic. If anyone wants some more info please feel free to hit me up.
