The second FFS was performed by Dr Rossi in Argentina. He performed a minor miracle on my face, after the disaster of the first FFS, which was done in Mexico. I will be going back to Argentina and Dr Rossi for the revisions and further work, as soon as they give me the go ahead. Its really weird, the work he has done is fantastic, but it seems, and looks like, that he forgot to do one side of the bone work on my nose. Apart from that, brilliant. The recovery seemed to be quicker and less painful, maybe just the bruising stayed a little bit longer. I didnt have cheek augmentation, but I did have a really badly and oddly shaped chin after the first FFS, it looks great now, but still too big for my liking, so when I go back I will be asking Dr Rossi to shorten it to its anatomical limit. My nose [which, after the Mexican surgeon finished with, seemed to be exactly the same], Dr Rossi did make it look so much better [apart from that one side]. I am still waiting for swelling to go from the tip. The forehead again was hardly touched in the first FFS because the Mexican surgeon said that I didnt need a type 3, when I clearly did. He also didnt touch my orbital rims, which I had paid him to do. Basically its as if he took my money and then did as little as possible [ I also paid him for a sliding genioplasty, which again he didnt do ] and what he did do, he did poorly. Dr Rossi did an unbelievably fantastic type 3 forehead reconstruction, and a good job on my orbital rims, and now that whole area looks as feminine as it possibly could.
I will probably have to pay for everything apart from my nose again, but I accept and acknowledge that Dr Rossi has done a fantastic job, and if I do have to pay for my nose again, well I guess I dont mind because Dr Rossi still put a lot of time and effort in to it.
Really, everything should have been done properly in the first surgery, I mean I certainly paid enough. No one should have to go through this more than once, not in these modern and medically advanced times.
Looking back, and with what I have learnt subsequently, and with all the money that I am going to end up spending on my face, I would of done things a lot differently. I am of the conclusion that having surgery in Latin America is very hit and miss. Really there are only a few places in the world who have the surgeons, facilities, and modern day technology and techniques, that could make for a virtually guaranteed one time only visit. Now I just shrug my shoulders and have to accept what has happened.
If you want to know who my first surgeon was, then you will have to visit the tgboards site, as I am not allowed to "name and shame" the Mexican surgeon, on this site. You could then also tell me who your surgeon was, and we could chat more openly and freely.
