Title: Jaw contouring/sliding genioplasty surgeons in the bay area?
Post by: kdw87 on March 23, 2016, 11:01:31 AM
Hi all! first off id like to say how absolutely in awe i am of the women on these boards. A friend of mine recently came out as trans and I'm so proud of her! she recommended this particular forum to me as i had cosmetic surgery a couple of years back in the form of a jaw augmentation with HA paste and a sliding genioplasty. Neither came out well, and i was wondering if any of you ladies could recommend a surgeon in or around the bay area that could fix me? I'm terrified of it messing up even further. I need my jaw shaving down as its uneven, and my chin moving down as it was moved forward and up slightly, leaving me looking like a lego man :( any and all advice appreciated!

Hi and welcome,

That is some very specific information for a specific part of the country. I am a little early in my journey to have any knowledge of that and I am on the wrong coast to help you.  However, your friend is right, it is a very supportive site. I am sure someone here either has links or suggestions that can help you.

I am including some links we give to all new members. They are welcome information and rules of the site. If you have not so far, please take a moment to read through them:

I'm going to see Dr. Deschamps-Braly in San Fran for a consult in June. He seems to be very knowledgeable but primarily in FFS. Possibly other facial stuff? Something to look into anyway
