I see a sectional view of your airway... Not a volumetric one... And that's the point isn't it? Small data. Small come beam. Limited mind set. Extrapolation of a small number of facts into a world of myth and prejudice.
If you are on a jaw surgery blog, is it to denounce it and convert others to your cause, or is it to seek truth and ways of improving the status quo.
What I am saying is logical and based on scientific reason. But you seem to be coming at it with contempt, and a premise that is anti surgical from the start.
Your first statement was "I know a little... But I don't understand" it continues with a few statements that define your overall anti-surgical premise, and it ends with your vilifying surgery based upon imagined risks that are never expressed if youre informed.
When I go flying, I don't choose 23 year old F-111 pilots to fly my 747. The adverse risks of flying are controlled and non-expressed. There are different people for different tasks, and if you think about it... There are far more success stories with corrective jaw surgery than there are failures.
The challenge is to figure it out, and fly Qantas... Not stay in bed moaning about how scary the world could potentially be if you walked into the sunshine.
