I already know it was successful cause Earl told us and Sinn told me he did it on a patient and the patient was very pleased.

Hi Earl!

I have decided to go through with a Lefort III after years of deliberation. Your story is what gave me the bravery to finally make the decision.
I would just like to ask you how you got in contact with Dr Sinn. I have emailed his office but I haven't gotten a reply.

If you have time, then I think wait to see how these new osseoconductive implants will pan out. They should be here in 2016? They are attached with resorbable sutures so no hardware required. Customized to each patient from CT scans. Soft tissue modeling is almost there. I'd guess it won't be more than 5 years before this product starts showing very promising results with some patients to back it up.

There was some discussion earlier on in this thread about the suraorbital rims, eyebrow ridge area, and possible solutions. Has Earl25 or anyone else found anything out about this?

The complete supraorbital ridge/glabella area can be fractured/mobilized as a block and moved forward. Even the complete forehead including the supraorbital ridge/glabella can be moved forward. It does require a full coronal incision. (I saw an example of a glabella implant in which a pretrichial incision was used (in front of the hairline). Not sure if this could be used too to mobilize the complete supraorbital ridge and move it forward. Might not be the case. The complete forehead could certainly not be mobilized through such an incision).

Picture to illustrate (not for the faint of heart, so if a little bit of blood freaks you out don't look at this: http://img.medscapestatic.com/pi/meds/ckb/62/8062tn.jpg)

I doubt these procedures will be performed on anyone purely for aesthetic reasons, unless suffering from a syndrome/deformed though.

I stumbled upon an example of a lateral orbitotomy in which the lateral orbital wall had been fractured/mobilized. These type of procedures are mostly used to remove tumors, etc. though. (The osteotomized segment is put back in the original position). Insicions that I saw were over the temple, next to the canthus extending quite far into the temple, or in the eyelid crease and extending next to the canthus (and most were quite visible). Again: I very much doubt anyone would want to perform such a procedure to give you some nice augmentation at the lateral orbit  ;D, but please enlighten me if I'm wrong.

This was the incision they used (no bloody mess here: ) http://www.ijournalhs.org/viewimage.asp?img=indianjhealthsci_2014_7_2_125_148817_f3.jpg
Some info about the surgery: http://www.ijournalhs.org/article.asp?issn=2349-5006;year=2014;volume=7;issue=2;spage=125;epage=129;aulast=Balihallimath

I'm gonna surprise You.

Yes, some surgeons (but minority) do coronal approach in midface surgeries just for aesthetic reasons.
2 surgeons offered me this for zygomatic reposition.

Wow, thanks for the great info, hellohello. That seems pretty invasive. With that said, I'll bet the biggest thing here is just that these surgeries are largely unknown and fairly stigmatized. If they were more common it probably wouldn't be as big a deal to surgeons.

Still, seems like too much to go through purely for the sake of aesthetics.

I guess the only real options for the brow ridge are then those 3d printed bony implants, or silicon. Are the bony ones really a possibility for this area though?

What's with this brow ridge hype? Maybe I don't get it because I have a brow ridge but some of my friends who are way better looking than me don't have brow ridges. I think it's too invasive of a surgery fir that.

jesus christ. Whole thing just gets stranger and stranger. 17k usd for a lf3 performed in an OFFICE by a man with no legit medical qualifications. Earl you deserve a medal for having the balls to do that.  ;D
Earl looks great.  The best midface result I've ever seen.

Dr Sinn is one of the leading max fac surgeons in the world who has worked on several text books. I've confirmed this with several other surgeons I've spoken with.

The operation is performed in his CLINIC which is setup properly to handle the operations, however certain procedures such as a coronal incision require a hospital stay.

Not sure if you're trolling but to say he has no legit medical qualifications is insane.
