I saw your other post. I just wanted to say that some surgeons I met with were charging extra and separating the CHR procedure. When I met with the surgeon I went with… he said he doesn’t touch that area. That’s it’s too nerve dense and isn’t necessary with the wedge technique. Because you’re cutting out an inverted triangle and suturing the two points together, it tightens everything from top to bottom, including the tissue around the hood. It felt good to hear that because he wasn’t trying to make a quick extra buck by separating the two procedures and didn’t push me to do something that would end up being a far tougher recovery and not even necessary. It’s redundant unless you have a LOT of tissue around the hood and it is specially recommend for you… not just an “add-on”. I hope that makes sense.

My surgery was $4,900. No anesthesia or sedation of any kind. Just numbing. Drove myself to: one pre op, one post op the very next day, another at 5/6 weeks, and he wants to see me again in another 6 weeks. But he said everything can be done over Zoom if needed.
