Monobloc distraction osteogenesis
« on: October 05, 2014, 11:06:30 PM »
I have previously considered Lefort III but seeing as my entire face is retripositioned, I've started looking at, and seriously considering Monobloc distraction osteogenesis. This would advance my entire face approximately 20mm-30mm. I wouldn't be doing this if it wasn't for the fact that people think I'm retarded.I've started saving.

Sometimes even 35mm , with distraction osteogenesis you wear an external halo for a period after the procedure, gradually moving the bone forward. It's safer and achieves greater movement than in-procedure advancement

Such huge numbers only make sense if you have a syndrome like Crouzon's.

I have similar facial hypoplasia to that of someone with Crouzon syndrome

I think what you are talking about is in growing patients.  I don't see how this is possible in adults once growth has ended.  Maybe someone else can confirm this?
