Hi ladies!!
The consultation went great, I now know Dr. Bart is the man for the job!, him and his wife/partner really do make a nice team, are very professional, took all my before pictures, talked about what I needed and he suggested the following:
-Forehead
Forehead Recontouring with slight brow lift, and he said in my case he would approach the hairline differently as he thinks the corners need lowering slightly and says the top is too low so he would go behind the hairline in the middle to actually higher that area of the hairline, he said it would be a curved line that weaves behind the hairline in the middle to give me a good inverted U shape. He also said he might use a small amount of bone cement to get the forehead shape perfect, he could tell my biggest concern was the forehead. He said a shave will most likely do, but there is a possibility I could need a full reconstruction, he suggested I don't have my eyebrows done and let them grow out just before I go for surgery so he can see exactly where to take them to.
-Chin and jaw.
He uses a kind of steel ruler and does measurements on your face (he said the jaw angle was around a centimetre too much for a female jaw, which he would shave away, chin height about 8 mm too long, he did the same measuring to 3 points of the forehead and told me about lowering corners slightly and highering mid hairline which I mentioned before.
-Lipo under the chin (yes, I have a bit of double chin! Lol)
He went on to look for Adam's apple, which he didn't find, looked and measured at my nose, lips, eyes, and says: the rest of your face is very feminine so I would only do forehead and chin/jaw, then he pinched at my double chin and said -what you think about that? why don't we do something about that while we're at it? not that it makes any difference to femininity but it would be nice-, I said I notice that often and would like to do something about it but didn't know it was something you could do, he said we can do that, he almost suggested a lower facelift but then said no, it's not lose skin it's fatty, I said I know, my weight yo yo's and it seems to be a result of that, I was pleasantly surprised that he wants to, and is capable of doing that as well.
I then said -can't we do something with the nose?, he then said - if you really want to... there is some work we could do, explained what he could do, not major things but making the nostrils smaller and some tweaks here and there, and they gave me 2 proposals, one excluding the nose and one including it.
He also did a profile simulation, that if I am able to upload, I'll try and show you.
The price was right within what I imagined including the nose and nice and low-ish without the nose.
Now all I am left to consider is shall I get the nose done one last time or just let it be it's funky self... My bf Rob thinks just go for it while you're at it and I am of the same opinion, they didn't push the rhinoplasty until I suggested it, you can tell he wants what's gonna be right for you no more no less. I am very excited and should be booking the surgery in a month or 2 as soon as Rob knows when he can take the time off work (I would like to have it done in August and Rob thinks that's a good idea too)
Anyone know how I upload pics?
Smooches
