I Had a Cheekbone Fracture and Can't Find a Good Surgeon. Head and Neck Surgeon? Plastic Surgery? Need Help!

Is it better to go to a surgeon with a private praxis or to a hospital with a large department? Besides my cheekbone fracture was already fixed, but either healed funny or the surgeon didn’t do a good job since I don’t look like before (cheek is depressed). One surgeon said that it can always be that a cheekbone fracture heals not the way it should (even if fixed with plates and screws) and that there is hardly anything to prevent that. Is that true?

    go to a maxillo facial surgeon,it might have been a broken zygoma,thats the reason it is depressed.a gillies lift should have corrected but by now you probably need a re fracture before it can be corrected.but go to a max.facial surgeon,the’ll help you.

    Plastic surgery is very safe nowadays. My cousin got her breast reduction, tummy tuck and facelift surgery in India by the company called Forerunners Healthcare .The Price for the surgery she paid in India was very less. She paid 30% of the cost she was quoted in America.

    Forerunners Healthcare is very famous in India. They arrange cosmetic and plastic surgery for foreigners in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories. They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low price, as the breast reduction, tummy tuck, facelift and other cosmetic surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.
