Can V Line and Cheekbone Reduction Surgery Be Reversed By Custom Implants?

Q: Dr. Eppley, Five months ago, I underwent double jaw surgery together with V line and cheekbone reduction surgery in South Korea. The result of the surgery was not what I expected, and I have regretted it since. My facial aesthetic appears to be much more feminine and much less attractive compared to pre-operation. I have been finding ways to see if it’s possible to reverse my surgery so I can look like my old self again. I’m planning to reverse my v-line and cheekbone reduction by using a customised silicone wrap-around jaw implant, and have the zygomatic body elevated back out /customised cheek implant after doing a revising double jaw surgery to push both my jaw back out. I have a few questions that I hope you can help me to address. 

1) Do I need to visit you to check if I’m eligible for a customised silicone wrap-around jaw implant and customised cheek implant before I decide to do a revision double jaw surgery to push both my jaw back out? 

2)Is there any chance I’m not eligible for a customised silicone wrap-around jaw implant and customised cheek implant after revision double jaw surgery?

A: I have done many patients such as yourself who are looking to reverse their V-line surgery. I have yet to see such a patient who could not have a custom jawline implant to reconstruct their jawline.The same would apply to the reversal of cheekbone reduction osteotomies. Such surgeries would, of course, await your revised double jaw surgery.
