I have midfacial hypoplasia and a steep gonial angle.
I look horrible and I'd do anything to look normal. If I don't do something I'm going to suffer for the remainder of my life. I don't have a syndrome but I have no definition in my face. I feel I have nothing to lose, sometimes I feel like I don't want to live.

What doctors should I consult and how much will it cost me? Thank you.

It depends on where you live. earl25 on this forum had a Lefort III with Douglas Sinn in the US and it "only" cost him $17k. The options in Europe aren't great and I only know of Obwegeser in Switzerland that does Lefort IIIs on non-syndrome patients. If you choose to with implants instead then Yaremchuk is probably the man to see: http://www.dryaremchuk.com/central-midface-augmentation-pics

His e-mail address is listed on the hospital website if you search for him. I believe it's this one but I didn't get a reply from it myself when I sent him an e-mail: joachim.obwegeser@zzmk.uzh.ch

It might be better to call the hospital if you can do that. Zarrinbal is a bit easier to contact but I really have no idea what kind of Lefort III work he does. I'm trying to have a consultation with him myself but he's on vacation right now.

earl25, are you sure Zarrinbal does Lefort IIIs? Why didn't you go with him?

Low chance he will do it on a non-syndrome patient either. I know a poster on here has already asked him. Feel free to try, however.

Reached out to Zarrinbal , he didnt recommend it , but I might be able to convince him , contacted Obwegezer too but he hasn't answered yet.

Does anyone know what it would cost ?

Will be needing lefort 1 at the same time

Bumping previous question

And can the RED halo be used for adults in order to ensure maximum advancement?
