I had modified lefort iii

[Tiny]

Wow, Earl! Well done for doing all that research and having the balls to go through with the surgery

Hope everything heals fine and you enjoy the results!!

Congratulations Earl, I'm really glad it went ahead without complication.

How much of an improvement do you feel it has been and was it worth the risk?

its still early as you cant tell a final result until all swelling is gone which takes a few months.

in terms of worth the risk. I don't really know how to answer that. All the risks that I read about or was told about didn't happen. doesn't  mean those risks aren't real ,but  im also proof they aren't a guarantee. I literally have a few emails or letter from TOP TOP cranio and maxfaxs giving me a heartfelt please  not o pursue this. so I don't know. I can also tell you it depends on how bad you look.

Kizarq, at the end of the day I'll have the zygomatic osteotomy too.
I will send you pictures as you've been very helpful.

I have a very bad orbital deficiency.

Are you having surgery today or did you mean that you're getting it eventually? There are a lot of us here on the board who have a similar problem and I for one am really interested in seeing what a zygomatic osteotomy can achieve.

[earl25]

Oh nice, you are going to have great bone structure well into old age now! That seems to be the case with people who have jaw advancement surgeries, they maintain the new bone structure when they are older as well.
Is this to move the upper portion of the orbital rim?

no,to move my eyes back further into my socket. i hav bug eyes due to sockets being too small

earl25,

Congrats!  Really happy for you man! (Those swollen weeks must have been torture for you.)

[Dontknowwhattodo]

Congratulations Earl!

It's done more often than you think.  I've seen before and afters of non-syndromal cases besides the Obwegesser girl.  The prerequisites seem to be eyeballs protruding past the rim - strong negative vector.

Do you have links? could you post them?

[Alue]

Thanks for updating earl.  I didn't realize you were going through with it.  I'm glad everything turned out well!  And a little bit jealous...   This is something I could probably benefit from, well a higher level lefort, but I'm not sure I'm willing to risk blindness.  I may have to consult with your surgeon just to see what he says.  He is in the Southwest right? 

[PloskoPlus]

Congratulations Earl!

FWIW, all the cases I've seen were class III pre-op.  earl25 is class I (and was class II before his BSSO).

WTF is MM tier? MM on this forum stands for something you definitely don't want anything to do with.

[Modigliani]

MM stands for male model in this instance I believe.

[Optimistic]

Just more proof that this forum has a substantial amount of former and current puahate/sluthate posters. It's practically a sleeper cell for them 

You pick them every time they come in talking about philtrum length and other reasonably technical terms that someone who's never considered surgery previously and is a first time poster would never know about.

I'm really glad for you Earl, and I'm glad some of the info I provided helped you make the decision you came to. You're a real hero in my world. Thank you.
