Cheek/jaw implants after accident.
« on: October 26, 2020, 12:01:52 PM »
Hello All,

I was in an accident that cause me to break my cheekbone and jaw. This has taken a toll on my mental health and at times suicidal. Because of this i have been severely depressed and dealing with panic attacks out in public.

I am considering custom cheek/jaw implants but have a hard time finding the right surgeon. I have heard of Dr. Eppley and Yaremchuk but the horror stories have turned me away. If anyone has any recommendation for a surgeon or reasons why implants wouldn't be a  a good idea, i would greatly appreciate it.



Best.

Fracture repair is what maxillofacial surgeons do. Is your bite affected?

My teeth  is not affected by the surgery, however, my teeth is not midline but my bite is fine.  Enlcosed is my ct scan.
