I have not posted in a long while but feel a need to share. After research and conversations with Michelle (thank you for sharing your experience!) I decided to take a trip to Mexico. I am now sitting at what has been called 'house of broken dolls' by some awaiting surgery tomorrow. It is both very scary to await while surrounded with patients in all stages of recovery but also exciting to see people happy with their results. My mom is joining me for the first 4 days after surgery and then I am on my own for the rest. I will be having forehead, nose and jaw with the aim of doing this just once. I am not fond of sharing pictures but will hopefully send an update or two. I feel this forum, though I only use it sparingly, has been quite informative in my decision making process so I can hopefully do a bit of the same. Wish me luck.
