During my recent FFS with Facial Team, I was shocked by what the "before" CAT scans revealed. The amount of bone *not* removed during a previous FFS was obvious. In fact, my "before" scans looked like a typical male skull, as if no work had yet been done.
To make matters worse, holes from a previous FFS were clearly visible on my forehead.
IMHO, if all FFS surgeons were expected to routinely provide both before and after CAT scans as part of the procedure, with a review before the patient leaves, this kind of thing would be a *lot* less likely to happen.

Hi Eveline,
Thanks for sharing these fotos.
I am in to gore ... ;D so don't mind one bit .. ;)
But I am not sure if I could have been a surgeon as that's a totally different ball game ... :-\
Anyway it's awful how some surgeons mess up.
It's going to be interesting to see my after surgery fotos and CT scans, having had a rest on the gurney for a few hours down in Marbella this April ... :o
I will now post up the fotos on my FFS thread tomorrow that were taken during my revision surgery in October 2014 at London's Chelsea & Westminster Hospital. Like your's they too are a bit gory !!!
It shows the inappropriate PEEK implants that were inserted which are being removed in April as well as the left frontal sinus problem etc.
Take care and happy healing.
Hugs
Paula
PS. Because Eveline's gory fotos were removed which is kinda understandable ( but I am so glad I saw them), I will not post mine tomorrow.
Thanks for sharing. Your post was very insightful. I remember who you went to for FFS and I will scratch them from my list. I was going to get a quote from them.
Just a quick question moderators, can members pm gory surgery fotos among themselves ?
Of course, if a member goes on to Eveline's photo hosting site (which I can't identify), they can still be seen ... :)
OK, for those who want to see the surgery photos, you can use the links below.

Thanks Eveline ... :)
Wow! This is quite incredible. Who did your previous FFS? :( It's okay if you don't or can't mention it on these boards. I'm so happy that you were able to get it fixed.

RubyAliza (or anyone), please feel free to PM me if you want to talk more about this...
Thank you so much Eveline for this interesting thread!
Really enjoyed the surgical photos :) They did quite a fix.
Hi Eveline.
How's the healing going?
Hugs

I did not understand. You can not talk or do not want to mention the doctor's name? Is there any judicial process? Just a curiosity. I regret the run. I desire to be fully realized now with the correction. Doctors can not coerce patients. There is medical secrecy laws and records. To be a discussion about it in the forum, we are free to report our experiences - provided we can prove. Mistakes and successes of our surgeries. Or am I wrong? Sorry my bad English.
