Plate Breakage After Cheekbone Reduction Surgery???

When dealing with many different patients in clinical practice, there are very occasional cases that are hard to understand and frankly absurd.

I had a patient who, after cheekbone reduction surgery (the first surgery, not a revision), although the operation itself went smoothly without any major variables,

kept worrying that something must have been wrong with the surgical site.

Even after the surgery, the patient has had three CT scans up to now, and there were no unusual findings at the surgical site.

According to the patient, after the surgery they visited other plastic surgery clinics to check the surgical area, and at two plastic surgery clinics they were told that the plate fixing the surgical site was broken. And this was said by the director...

I will share the last CT scan taken 1 year and 7 months after the surgery. If anyone here is able to interpret CT scans, please take a look and judge for yourself^^

I will also share the same content on the facial contouring board of the Plastic Surgery Association.

Of course, I have already confirmed all the circumstantial evidence with the person who cautiously told me about those two plastic surgery clinics.

I will disclose the names of those two clinics later using only the first letters.

Of course, those two clinics are places specializing in facial contouring, run by young and inexperienced board-certified plastic surgeons,

1. whether this is due to the resolution of the CT equipment at those clinics,

2. whether it is due to the ignorance of the director interpreting the scan,

3. or whether there is some other misunderstanding...

there are many parts I just cannot understand.
