Aesthetics / Can I get MSE *after* Jaw Surgery for the same aesthetic effect?
« Last post by instajaw on October 22, 2024, 09:18:53 AM »
I have Jaw Surgery scheduled for this December. I already have a decent-sized palate, but I have a flat face/flat cheekbones. I really wanted to do MSE to get some midface expansion and a little more distance between my eyes.

Will it be possible to get MSE after my bones have healed from double Jaw Surgery?

Aesthetics / Re: Seems like no one in the world does Sinn’s ML3 anymore.

Yeah I don't know of anyone doing it routinely on your average jaw surgery patient who just doesn't like that part of their face. I think it's still done in deformity cases (Crouzon syndrome, etc).

Seems like Dr Sinn took the technique with him when he retired. Till this date I have not encountered anyone who knows how to and has the expertise and willingness to do it for cosmetic reason.

I talked with Heggie but he was not willing to perform this at least that was the impression I got. Did not directly mention the ML3 but he did say there were other alternatives but did not fully mention what.

I contacted Lazlo. Lestat. And seems like they do not know either.

So there is a possibility this procedure is no longer available in the whole world.
Its such a shame.

I actually understood your distinction between a syndrome and a mere cosmetic issue, I was just sloppy in my terminology in my response. Apologies.

Are there any surgeons that you'd recommend for someone with my aesthetic concerns?

No reason for me to answer yet another question where you claim you 'understand' something but again with NO demonstration that you actually learned anything from the information given to you.It's right there in front of you. The  ORTHO told you that you have vertical maxillary deficiency and a maxillary downgraft is needed for that. So, you ALREADY have someone to ask for referrals/suggestions.

1). I actually understood quite a bit of your explanation, about 90% of it at least. My question regarding the LeFort was simply about where they would make the cut.

2). I apologize for using the term "syndrome", when it wasn't applicable. I understand that it's a cosmetic and not a medical issue, my use of the term "syndrome" was just out of habit. I suppose I could just refer to it as "short face appearance", or whatever makes you happy.

I'm not the type of person to get hung up over errors in terminology, as long as it's understood what's being communicated.

It should be IMPLICIT the Lefort 1 cut is the reference. Asking if it was either of 2 different cuts demonstrated it wasn't.

 I wasn't affronted by your use of 'sydrome' but by continuing to use it after I spent time elaborating on the differences of syndrome and cosmetic demonstrated no understanding on your part of my prior explanation.

Aesthetics / What surgeons are a good choice for downgrafting?
« Last post by DarrenG on October 12, 2024, 02:46:26 PM »
I have a short face and want to get it vertically lengthened. To do this I would need a downgraft with a CW rotation.

I've read that many maxfac surgeons don't perform bone grafts.

I would like to know which surgeons do. Right now the only one I know of is Ramieri.

Thank you.

"It involves an overall maxillary down graft (that spans the entire maxilla) and one with net CW-r."

Would this mean a high-cut LeFort 1, or a LeFort 2?

Also, are there any surgeons in particular that you would recommend for short face syndrome?

Sorry dude but your questions reveal you're unable to understand (my) explanations. I put a lot of time and effort into my prior explanations and they went NOWHERE.

1: NEITHER through a high-cut Lefort 1 NOR a Lefort 2.

It should be IMPLICIT what type of Lefort cut is being referred to without asking this question. The fact that it isn't reveals your lack of basic understanding runs too deep for me to fill in.

2: WTF?? I tell you are NOT sydromatic and you ask which doctors treat the SYDROME. The question reveals you couldn't cognitively 'digest' information that differentiated a SYDROME from a COSMETIC issue.

Sorry dude, but when I find that my explanations don't result in actually communicating any information but instead elicit the wrong questions, we need to resolve to COMMUNICATION between us is NOT working out. So, I'm going to leave you to the 'other people' who ever they may be. I'm out of here.
