I'm going to Toronto tomorrow for the Dr. Z lecture and consult. Maybe I'll see some of you there. Anyway, this is the first consult I'll get and so I am curious how his opinion compares to mine. I think I am only looking for brow reduction (and maybe even just type 1 reduction because I have bumps rater than a defined ridge) and rhinoplasty. but of course, I'm courious for his opinion and approach (and attempted upsells)
I'm not interested in chin surgeries because I find it to be a poorly defining characteristic, there are lots of complaints about chin/jaw surgery, and I rarely can see a difference in other people.
anyway, this is just my first stop in the ffs search. I haven't even taken the standard consult pictures yet, but I think this is a good starting point for consideration and education.
If you are going to be there, let me know and we'll meet up any maybe go to dinner or something. I've got a late night consult spot and am holding a room at the super 8 0.7mi away, but may change hotels.
If you see me there, I look like this. Come say hi.:

First of all, you're beautiful. I wonder what you'd look like with a tan :D
I'm meeting this same doctor in Peabody on Friday, so i think its funny he will be in Toronto tomorrow (wed) and in Boston, MA on Fri. I guess hes doing a lot of conferences. Is that where you are going- a conference?
I can't wait to see what you look like when you get done!
of course the above picture is from straight-on front. You cannot see my profile. I do have brow bumps (though not a defined ridge) and masculine nose shape. I work hard to hide them, but I would like to remove that limitation. For example, in the summer with my hair tied back and sunglasses on and no makeup (because i have sunscreen on instead), I look like a guy. Not a big deal, but I think I have a lot to gain from these two things.
Yeah i've been consulting with Dr. Z and a few other FFS surgeons here in the US via email & phone for awhile now comparing their recommendations and prices. I'm getting my forehead, nose, and trach done, maybe sometime in the future BA too. It's good to get multiple quotes from different surgeons this way you can find out who has your best interests in mind and who is just after your money.
Goodluck & keep us posted! xo

hi jm9
i live in mississauga and i'd love to go to dr. z's conference.
what do u have to do to get a spot? what time is it at?
thanks
I'm going to be there at 6:15 to meet with Dr Z. I'm having FFS on the 28th January at his clinic in Chicago.
I'm unable to see a pic.
I met him one on one before he gave his conference...seems like a nice man
