Is a CT scan worth it?

[optimisticzoomer]

Dr SM Balaji wants a CT scan of my skull to assess me for OBO, but this is gonna cost me £230 near me.

I don't think I'll find it cheaper elsewhere, but this is a lot of money for just a picture of my skull. And if I get turned down for OBO or decide not to do it (in 2 years) it's a waste of money.

You going for SM Balaji noice
Are you a indian

You would need CT for practically everything tho
Get that it's better that way

No lol, he just does box osteotomies and I'm assuming will be cheaper than the US or Europe

Ye idk if my skull will change slightly tho cos I'm 19

Than wait for some time before OBO
I think at 22 you should get OBO

Ye I will get it no earlier than 21, but I want to know now which surgeons will perform it so I can save up money

god damn these poor incels, now even CT is questioned if it's "worth it"...

Well it’s worth it if you’re gonna get surgery yeah

You can do 3D planning without ir

My plan is to get surgery. But idk if my skull will change in any way which would affect it in the next couple of years. I need CT now to know if surgery is possible for me, otherwise no point saving up

I don't have enough money where 230 quid is negligible. But I'll probs get it anyway

For what? OBO? No discussion about that with surgeons yet, although I plan for like 6-7mm. Yes 5mm is possible

how do you predict the aesthethic changes? morph?

Ye but morphing eyes I find hard. That's just what should give me ideal ratios and look best. A surgeon should be able to provide imaging to show how it would look I'm guessing
