First OBO consult - denied

[optimisticzoomer]

He was nice and saw what I was saying, but didn't think it was extreme enough.

He kept talking about eye asymmetry and how it was mainly just soft tissue, not focusing so much on the widening aspect.

I tried mentioning midface ratio a couple of times but it seems this isn't something he considers.

Said he wouldnt recommend OBO and he most likely wouldn't do it, said I might find someone that would but he wouldn't recommend me getting it.

When I pointed out my IPD is 59mm he said this was within normal range so I shouldn't get surgery for it.

Nice guy but disappointed
Have a couple more I can consult with

Btw he said risk of death or blindness was only like 1 in 20,000. Loss of smell or altered smell about 40%

59mm jfl thats cyclops tier

Mind dm'ing a pic? I can assure you it's not that bad bro, obo is for fucking deformed people. You are normal bhai . My mum is a doctor and worked with max fax and told me she did obo on a child with tumour in his face, when i asked if she would ever do it cosmetically. This is a very serious surgery so I'm sure you fine bhai

Over for me and 99% of this forum then

Are you really crazy enough to go through with this? The risks far outweigh the benefits. The scar, risk of blindness, recovery, etc. Also the risk of ending up looking asymmetric. And not to forget the cost. It's a pipe dream for most, even though one user here already had this surgery. If I wasn't high inhib, I'd do it too. I got a 60mm IPD, with a long nose, and a long midface. I basically need this surgery if I ever want to achieve harmony.

He told me risk of blindness was only around 1 in 20,000. Scar usually isn't such an issue. Unlikely to be asymmetric if surgeon knows what they're doing. Cost I didn't ask this guy, but another surgeon told me around 40k Canadian dollars, which is £26,000 for me, which is high but not ridiculous

which surgeon?

talk to @CosmicMaxxer surgeon dr derek steinbacher

Don't wanna say surgeon name, otherwise some other retards will probably try and go to him. Steinbacher didn't answer my emails, could book a consultation but likely to just get turned away so not worth the cost. Might end up having to attempt it tho

Checked through their posts. Dude is legit getting a head transplant and has claimed to get multiple LL's. Wish they'd provide more pics or else it just feels like a massive larp. I guess these scans are real though

Eyes too close or too far apart? Too far apart has some leeway, too close is somewhat of a death sentence

His scans are on eppley's site, along with pics of his head with eyes blurred. It says patient got OBO, but idk if it was that cosmicmaxxer guy, or he just stole some guys scans. Probably is him tho, his eyes are too small so the increase in ipd looks comical

Idk but I am sure they aren't ideally symetrical.

unironically true... https://www.nature.com/articles/sj.bdj.2014.401.pdf?origin=ppub

 

[mvp2v1]

@CosmicMaxxer has a thread about getting it, but the results were terrible

The issue with OBO is that it addresses the IPD issue but not the PFL issue and the probability is that if you have an ipd issue you have a PFL issue. If you dont address both at same time you will look somewhat weird.

You're joking, but anything below 4 is zero.

i think he did yeah it was a while ago and probably around $200 i think

Fuark, he's the guy. I might have to book a consultation with him. I feel like his surgeries would be very expensive tho
