It seems like, they do not work always together.  I mean MM and Nadjmi. Do not know about others.

Anyone knows anything about Prof. Nadjmi (and others mentioned in article except MM)  from Belgium ?

So from what I gather the different between a LF 2 and LF3 would be that, in a LF 2 the sides of the face would be untouched. IMO, that sucks. If you zygos are also recessed then technically youd still look off. They'd have to bring the zygos and upper maxilla forward, without touching the nose.

What I dont understand is that when they advance the lower maxilla in a Le Fort 1, there is still some contant with the upper maxilla. But If they basically move your whole face forward, like in a Le Fort 3, what do they will the space with? Cow bone? or they just leave the space hollow?

hey Rico tbh, I know nothing about sandwich osteotomy, from what I've read it doesn't really do much (aesthetics wise) and I've never seen any before and afters.

to not open a new topic, I'll just ask here; I was recommended LFIII as an option for my midface defficiency, and the occompaying reply by doc was this:

I wonder why eval of nose is necessary?Is nose a factor when choosing between standard LFIII (aka NoThanks surgery) or modified LFIII?

Nose change?

@27F - these drops seem cool, I wonder if there are any side effects... 

I've noticed that over the years I've developed bags under my eyes. It also feels like my eyes are slightly starting to buldge out, I feel pressure behind the eyes at times. I'm going to check my thyroid and rule that out first before looking into those eye drops. Maybe its related to not sleeping enough, or a mild form of sleep apnea..

Did bimatopros improve the look to where your eyes are normal again? also did you have any side effects?

Congrats!

Making an appt. with him late Feb. for consultation- it'd be nice to get an experts opinion about my case.

Also, may be an obvious question but, is he versed in LF2? Another surgeon mentioned that a LF3 may leave my face looking wider since I have high cheekbones.

If I may ask, wtih whom ?

BTW, look here: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16770194

Use your eyes there's a CLEAR difference despite the different lighting, his mid face projects much more in the after photo.

That's really cool, big transformation. You could pull an inch off before? Wow! Are you sure you don't have EDS or something? My current is somewhere between your before and your after. I'm told I'm just a few mm off. Implants are great for cases like mine, no?

Is that Dr Sinn in Dallas? Shame I didn't think to visit him while I was there. I met his colleague I guess, who I also think is very impressive.
