... than before :/ that I don't like at all, I don't smile much on pictures, makes my middle face look wider, I really liked my narrow nose.

I will see Arnett in April. Since Im coming from another country, I would like to take the chance to see other surgeons in the area too. Does anyone know Stephen Schendel? Is he a good surgeon? Can you recommend any other surgeons in California?

Thank you so much! This forum has helped a lot

... I was 100% okay with upper surgery, but I get the impression that he is all but refusing to do it.

... fees, anesthesia, plates, screws and everything, how much should I expect to pay if they say I do need another surgery? Im booked with Dr. Arnett. Will Dr. Gunson be there too? From what I hear here on this forum he is great too. *Not sure how much a redo surgery costs. All depends on your ...
