Surgery booked for 5/16... I'm curious if anyone has had type III with Cardenas and/or if anyone had a CT scan prior to their surgery?

I knew of a girl that had a full reconstruction with him... Looking fairly different, although the required procedure was decided on the pre-operatory examination
Thanks! Would you say her surgery was a success cosmetically? Any complications? Thank you again! -J

Given the fact that she had one of the most difficult faces to work at bone level (She looked totally male pre-everything, just the jaw could be saved), We could agree that the work was indeed aggressive. Biggest issue is that the hairline scar is far too visible. I hoped it would disappear a bit over time, but after nearly a year it's still there, all white.
She passes 100% if the time and she is all stealth, although she waited for FFS before going full time. Can't say a lot more. After checking the FFS group, I saw another Cardenas girl that looked like an exact clone of her... At the same, I have found several people with multiple complications after going to Cardenas. Enough for me to discard him and go to another surgeon, even if it is not that "cheap".
My current opinion on Cardenas (I considered him for a long time) is that people are either 100% happy or 100% accusing him of making major messes (With photos included). And this time, This came from individual persons, not the fear campaigns other surgeons do to gain Customers (Dimaggio and her assistant are particularly guilty of this on Latin American Forums).

Hehe, I noticed the Di maggio thing u talk about in another thread in here, this person goes as far as to get really angry with one of Dr Bart's very supportive patients, the Bart supporter kept it fairly clean, but DiMaggios help got really angry, it put me off, and the girl that started the thread completely just blanked her out cause it went on too much.
I don't think fear tactics work, it's all about convenience and consistent good results.
