Too many guys in this community shared underwhelming and disappointing surgery results; they get surgery and barely look different.
Example:
To help you I suggest the following rule of thumb:
Whatever number of millimeters a surgeon says they’ll do, request to double it. And unless a surgery is for functional or health purposes, never accept any surgery under 3 – 4 mm; too small to justify the cost.
Surgeries are priced at pretty much flat rates and have a baseline pain cost; they aren’t charged by the millimeter nor is the pain proportional to millimeters. Patients on this forum get abysmal value for their hard-earned cash when they accept 3-mm surgeries if they could’ve pushed to 6 mm with zero price increase.
Caveats: It shouldn’t come as a surprise that this rule of thumb obviously doesn’t apply to procedures that need specific alignment e.g. asymmetry fixes and bite corrections.
You also need to account for the potential of future relapse and exaggerate your surgeries slightly to make the effects last longer.
Example:
I'm 8 hours post infraorbital-malar implants surgery and nothing changed
I just got malar and infra with saddle implants. My lower eyelids are not straight at all. I still have bug-like eyes, the implant was supposed to give me good under-eye support but I don't see it. Tear trough are still there. I can guess the new cheekbones through the swelling and it's...
