Hi everyone.
 i decided to show you folks how i look after 3/4 yrs of cross facial surgery. I still have some bulk on my left side, but im seeing my surgeon next week so hopefully he might suggest a way to get rid of it

You look great!  I too would love to hear what was involved.  I know my docs are going to recommend the nerve jump, but honestly I don't think I'm up for anymore surgery, etc.  That's why I'd love to hear your experience.

You look great.  Most faces have a bit of asymmetry, and your's looks quite dashing.
