If Implants can give similar effects with additional attention to details, then maybe it is a better option. No?

That's very true. It seems that both have their own advantages and disadvantages and it is not black and white. Like most things in life.But implants don’t increase the airway...
It all depends on your maxilla. If your maxilla is fine, then you should start with implants, if not, get a lefort and then see if you still need implants.
no way implants can emulate the effect of Bimax surgery.If Implants can give similar effects with additional attention to details, then maybe it is a better option. No?
Jaw surgery is really only necessary if you have functional issues i.e. misaligned bite (underbite, overbite, crossbite, open bite) TMJ pain, sleep apnea, restricted airways.
If you don’t have any functional issues, not only is jaw surgery probably unnecessary for you, insurance companies will not cover ANY of the cost.
Without functional issues, you are much better suited to having implants instead. The one exception to this, is that in the situation you have no functional issues but still have a weak chin, I would suggest a sliding genio instead of a chin implant.
