Before and afters. Morphs if possible. What kind of movements will he do?

Have you ever completel severed a nerve during BSSO?
How many ORTHOGNATHIC surgeries do you do per year? How many have you done in total?

If you have a Le fort i, ask what he will do to keep the nostrils from flaring (you should hear "alar cinch"). 

Do you have thin lips? Then ask what he will do to maintain your vermilion show.  You should hear " vy plasty ".

Ask how much your nose tip will rise after Le fort I? Will he do anterior nasal base reduction?

This is just the start.  Having pictures of you would help.
