OH, OK. Thanks. So, the author must have been the Australian surgeon  that Sinn told someone on here he does the mod L3 in that fashion. I just knew Hegge wrote a paper called 'Modified l3' and he's Australian. But I didn't get it because I didn't want to register just to read it.

Heggie is in fact the Australian surgeon that Sinn talked to regarding the MLF3 and whose cut Sinn now models his MLF3 cut after. I talked to Sinn regarding this in the past week to confirm. It's a little concerning to me after seeing Heggie's results in his study: https://www.academia.edu/27145374/The_modified_Le_Fort_III_osteotomy_in_the_correction_of_mid-facial_deficiency._Case_reports
especially with the increased sclera show. Sinn didn't show me any before and after's of the MLF3 so I don't know if that is an issue with his procedure. Is increased sclera show a side effect of this procedure?

Looks like you found the paper and it was indeed Heggie.

i still dont get the difference between a modified lefort 3, a real lefort 3 and various zygomatic osteotomies that doctors offer (like zygomatic sandwich osteotomy)

You probably didnt try very hard.

LF3 is the full fracture,

MLF3 has some variations but is basically LF3 minus the nose and jaws

ZSO is just moving the zygomatic body (and maybe the arch? i dont remember) http://www.mauricemommaerts.eu/files/PDF/633277834186613750.pdf
