What are some side effects of 3-piece surgeries?

Some papers on 3-piece vs SARPE and stability:
Current Therapy in Oral and Maxillofacial Srugery
Peterson's Principles of Maxillofacial Surgery
Changes in bone blood flow in segmental LeFort I osteotomies.

Anyone who can get a copy of the last paper, well that's be swell There's a 49% relapse rate on segmental osteotomies with 29% incidence of crossbite at end of orthodontic treatment. I'd say, ask the surgeon how much data they've collected and what their experience has been. More important than papers.

to answer the Op's original question, one effect of three piece leforts is anal munchkins. Make of that what you will.
