LOST IDENTITY: For 21/2 years I've been trying to accept the cosmetic surgery I had done (lower fl, chin implant, eyelids). I 'm shocked when I catch my reflection in the mirror while shopping or at the gym. Immediately following the surgery I expressed my concern about my large cheek bones and chin. My PS said they were fine. I'd consulted with four plastic surgeons who thought either a small chin implant or none would do. The PS who did my surgery said he would make the decision during surgery and used a LARGE implant (1 cm projection). I could hardly believe it! When I asked about changing to a smaller implant he said that it would probably become crooked. My right cheekbone has an indentation beside it which results in a harsh appearance. At age 50 I loved the way I looked. By age 56 I was looking to erase a few years. Now, I need to find an excellent PS who has a good sense of artistry and does revisions. Baltimore and Philadelphia are easy for me to get to. Can anyone suggest a doctor?

If those cities do not offer a Dr. that does corrective work you'll have to figure out a way to get to one that is not in your area, you have to get this done RIGHT!! Please don't make another mistake because the right Dr. is not within reach.

Thanks for the concern,Nikkicute. I thought I had the right doctor to begin with. Knowing who is good & will help to make the best decision seems difficult. Certainly hearing from someone's personal experience would be helpful. Someone in driving distance would be my first preference, but you do make an excellent point. Thanks!
