No

no you improve breathing by making space in your airways, advancement particularly ccw does improve breathing, its overhyped tho and not that stable and puts more pressure on your tmjs

your nose deviated? sure the only issue is your jaw?

Yep, I had a deviated septum surgery but it relapsed and now I need another one. My breathing improved a little bit before it relapsed but not that much

probably relapsed because your jaws still remain wrong. Can‘t judge whatsoever without all the necessary information.

Probably. I'm going to undergo jaw surgery, and I have noticeable asymmetries in both my upper and lower jaws. Underbite, narrow airways, etc. Would a high cut Lefort 1 be better for OSA in such a case?

underbite most often comes with hyperplasi of midface (recessed), so you should aim to get your midface projected aswell - speaking aesthetically.

Lefort 2 is ideal but impossible to get.

it‘s not particulary better for osa tho

What could mimic a lefort 2 with implants and lefort 1? Paranasal, infraorbital and something that provides nasion extension, like a modified browridge implant? @RealSurgerymax

Still swollen but bimax (normal Lefort cut) seems to have projected my paranasal area by quite a bit, and potentially solved the deficiency.
