Title: Just had the works with Dr. O! Was able to remove 11mm of height from my chin!

Wow!

I'm already so amazed by the results... have been blessed with minimal bruising and the swelling is going down amazingly fast, though I'm still looking a little chubby.

The most amazing thing is that I had a very long chin pre-surgery, and thankfully the nerves that determine how high up he can take the chin were such that he was able to remove an amazing 11mm height from my chin (That's nearly half an inch!  The average taken away is usually around 5mm).

The result is mind blowing.  It's completely changed the shape of my face!  All in a good way of course. :)

Anyhow... just thought I'd post about it in case anyone has a long "moon-shaped" face like myself and is wondering where to go (it's so hard to find pictures online of women with long chins before surgery).

Dr. O's bone work was the reason I went and it's just been so spectacular... and only a few weeks after surgery!

Sorry... no before and after shots because I'm a pretty private person these days when it comes to showing the changes of my transition... but still, I can't recommend Dr. O enough!  He really is an artist!  :angel:

Oh.... and I was informed that a law was passed allowing FFS to be tax deductible!  They even gave me a notarized letter in the event I was audited!  So everyone make sure to keep their travel / medical receipts when going for FFS and take advantage while you can!   Hopefully the law will stay this way. :)

Also, on a kind of petty side note... it's only be a few weeks but I'm already tired of the swelling. :(

Stupid swelling!  >:(

glad to hear you're happy with your surgery.
I've got jaw/chin feminising promised and paid for but not sure when and surgeon says he'll not be able to take much more that 10mm off before hitting the big nerves and making me a slobberer.
