Cheekbone Surgery Reviews

Cheekbone nonunion, collapse, asymmetry, side effects, facial contouring

I had all three facial contouring procedures, but I got nonunion. The hospital says not to do revision surgery and just live like this, but the gap is over 6 mm. And my cheekbones collapsed, so when I touch them with my hand, there is a sunken spot. It’s a step deformity. The hospital says it’s my fault, that it happened because my masseter muscles are stronger than other people’s, but I had already had masseter Botox too. I was also managing it by eating only porridge and milk for a month. I lost more than 10 kg, and now it’s been almost a year, but I still have swelling, like I’m holding candy in my mouth. But it feels like I also have cheek sagging. I had three procedures, but my square jaw is no different before and after. They say they did it, but there was no blood drain after surgery. Maybe because it was done too naturally, there’s no visible effect. So I’m a little dissatisfied, and the asymmetry is severe too. Even if I look from the side or tilt my chin up, the asymmetry I had before surgery is still there. The jawline and the area below the ears are different lengths, and one side of the jaw is longer and larger. My left cheekbone still hurts, feels heavy, and is stiff when I touch it. Until three months after surgery, whenever I was in pain or had a fever, I got anxious and called the hospital to explain my condition and visited them. Every time they said not to worry, that nonunion would absolutely not happen, and to focus on the swelling, that it was because the nerves were recovering. I was in more pain than other people, but each time they just sent me back saying it was fine. When I asked them to explain while looking at the CT images, they only showed X-ray images and said the pins were fixed well, so nothing had happened. But when I saw the CT images at the three-month mark, the cheekbone nonunion had already happened and the gap was large. I’m seriously so angry. But what makes me even angrier is the female consultation manager there. She sneered that this hospital only does CT comparisons at 1 month and 6 months from the start, and that there is no 3-month comparison, so they wouldn’t do it. I kept fighting because I was anxious and wanted to see the progress. After all that, I finally got to see the photos, and they said it was nonunion? If they had looked with CT from the beginning when I said I was in pain, this was something that could have been dealt with. My face has been completely ruined like this. I’m so depressed. If the sunken area bothers me too much, I’ll just get filler there and live with it. What should I do now? Should I go to another hospital and get revision surgery? Or is there any way this hospital can still do something? The hospital says it’s my jaw muscle’s fault. I want to redo the square jaw too; the asymmetry has actually gotten worse. How on earth did they do the surgery? I suspect a proxy surgeon. The scar tissue from the intraoral incision is also really severe Ugh, I’m going crazy. Please help meee, please tell me what I should do!!! ㅇㅂㅇ ㅊㄱ
