What kind of midface cut was done to me?
« on: October 30, 2024, 06:51:36 PM »
Hi all,

I had a midface ostetomy, or at least I thought I had one, that turned out to be a huge mistake. It's ruined my face, and I'm trying to figure out what kind of cut he did. I had another surgeon look at the CT images and he said from the CT it looks like my surgeon lied and just grafted my maxilla with artificial material and did a malar osteotomy, but he needs the axial cuts to be sure and I won't be consulting with him for another view weeks. I'm looking to get a revision so I need to know exactly what the hell this guy did to me.

Based on these images, can anyone see if there was a cut made to the paranasal area or is it just graft material? You can scroll down and look at all the images: https://imgur.com/a/yXC21np

This is the cut my surgeon told me he did, but I think he's lying I don't know what's wrong with this guy: https://imgur.com/a/CvmGTaL

I think maybe the cut could be the red line shown here, extending into the frontal/ paranasal region? https://imgur.com/a/dl8Dcon

Hopefully you guys can help me get some clarity on this. Thanks!
