So my previous post about choosing between Dr Deschamps, Dr Speigel and facial team got locked before I could thank everyone that responded.
Anyways I have decided to go with Dr Deschamps and planning to book surgery in first week of April. For right now, I have decided to have forehead reconstruction, chin contouring and rhinoplasty. I am debating if I should also have jaw contouring, fat transfer and otoplasty done, but am concerned as I will be on my own during recovery. I have no family in US and the only friend I thought I had is apparently not as good of a friend as I had thought.
I would really really appreciate if you guys could provide some advice on recovering on your own. Also I am not local to SF and planning to stay there for 3 weeks. I am feeling extremely sad realizing how lonely and difficult this journey can be. I hope I make it without breaking down.
Also special thanks to myfairlady49 for sending such a descriptive personal message even after my question got locked. I truely appreciate it from the bottom of my heart.
Also here's my pics in case you wonder what I look

I traveled alone to Buenos Aires in Sept 2015, for extensive bone work and soft tissue work. Would it have been nice to have a travel companion, sure. However my partner did not have 4 weeks of leave, so I went by myself.
Obviously I survived 😀 .
I kept myself occupied by walking around BA, watching Netflix and web surfing.

Hi Ypsf09,
I wish you a wonderful result.
If Dr Deschamps-Braly is 80% as good as Dr Ousterhout, you will be fine.
Will Dr O be in attendance during surgery?
I am not sure about doing this alone, however as deeiche said, it's possible.
Hugs
Paula

I talked to my partner via Skype almost every day, only missing surgery day and day after. I also talked to my parents every day via SkypeOut. Having video conversations with my partner made the separation easier for both of us.

Hi there! I live in San Francisco. Shoot me a private message and hopefully we can get together so your trip isn't lonely 🙂 I've been through what you're going to go through. I know how nice it is to have some company.
