Title: FFS with Dr. Bensimon in a few weeks
Post by: astrideva on April 05, 2016, 06:58:31 PM
Hey everyone,

I'm going to Montreal for FFS with Dr. Bensimon at the end of April.

I'm having forehead and orbital rim re-contouring, scalp advancement, chin re-contouring and mandible angle reduction done. Has anyone else had these procedures done with Dr. Bensimon? I'm wondering what I can expect in terms of recovery time and overall pain.

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

I had FFS with him on february . Not same procédures but he is A very good surgeon And im happy with result . For chin ( because I had It done ) you Will have hard time eating And speaking for the first 10 days but It doesnt hurt . I had FFS And BA at same time And honestly it was the BA that was painful not FFS . Expect 3-4 week before feeling And looking normal.

This is how I look now 1.5 month post surgeries
