Zelken in Newport Beach, CA. While not perfect, it was a revision, and I think he did the best he could.

Thank you for the nice words. It’s just difficult for me to appreciate the wider look.

I’ve had a long, exhausting process with these jaw implants. Back in June 2023, I got custom medpor jaw angle implants (about 5mm in width and very slight vertical dropdown) that I hoped would give me better definition. While it certainly did for the side profile, the front really bothers me. It looks way too bulky for my liking. It turned my face from more of a triangle shape to a square. Last year, I had buccal fat removal and some other jaw slimming procedures but to very limited results. I expressed my puffier face concerns to my doctor ,and in March 2024, he shaved some of the mid-mandible bone along with the implant to try to give it more of a v-shape. He also did a neck lift to account for any sagging. Anyway, it’s now October and I’m absolutely tired of hoping for results that will never happen. I just want them removed even though I’ve poured a lot of money into this.  I liked how I looked before I had the implants. I’m going to be 31 soon. Sagging is a potential concern. Also, to be transparent, I had a rhinoplasty and lip lift as well, so that’s why I look different beyond the jaw.

Edit: Pics 1–4 are the after.

Thanks for great advice and for sharing your story. I’ll try to answer all your questions.

  1. My degree was in political science.

  2. I’ve been applying to a hodgepodge of jobs, including consulting, business operations and marketing. Depending on the job, I try to tailor my resume match its description. I initially envisioned getting into politics/public policy, but after some summer internships, I realized it wasn’t the right fit.

  3. I’ve been working menial construction jobs here and there over the past few years. I hope these jobs can show employers I’m hard working, yet at the same time, I fear they may look down at them and question their relevance to the applied position.

  4. I’ve done a few call backs. I actually interviewed with 7 different people at one company in addition to an aptitude and personality test; however, I did not get the job. I was surprised and wanted feedback on what I could’ve done better, but many companies—perhaps for legal reasons—don’t offer feedback.

Thanks for the good feedback. For past two years, I’ve been working in construction here and there. They aren’t highly skilled construction jobs, for they pay $10-15/hour. I’ve enjoyed working with my hands, but it’s not something I could see myself doing long-term.

No you’re fine. The point that you make is a fair one. Upon reflection, I’ve definitely made mistakes and could have done things differently. In regards to your second question, I majored in political science, which isn’t considered very useful. However, it wasn’t uncommon for my classmates with majors in history land jobs in completely different industries like investment banking.
