You do raise an important question though. I have a facial deformity from radiation when I was a kid and I know it made me less attractive to others. My biggest concern is how do you discuss that with a facial surgeon? The more open and honest I have been had resulted in negative rapport from the surgeon. I always thought facial surgeons knew exactly why a facial deformity is a major issue, especially when it even stops you from smiling.
From what you relay here (
'facial surgeons'), it's unclear if you are targeting your consults to RECONSTRUCTIVE surgeons, the types of surgeons who have the background to address legit facial deformities or if you are just consulting 'willy nilly' based on the surgeon having the term 'facial' or 'maxillo-facial' in the title.
So, first thing you should be looking for are those with background in RECONSTRUCTIVE surgery and have background capacity in CRANIO-FACIAL. 'Facial' or even 'maxillo-facial' is too broad based for someone with a deformity in the venue of cranio-facial reconstruction. So, consider targeting your search to doctors who specifically address cranio-facial deformities.
Midface hypoplasia isn't exactly a 'jaw' deformity because it refers to the part of the maxilla which is ABOVE the part considered the upper jaw. It's more in the venue of doctors who demonstrate capacity in cranio-facial problems. So, if the problem is ABOVE an area that a Lefort 1 corrects, consider the problem more in the venue of cranio-facial than maxillo-facial and re-target your consults appropriately.
