Does bimax fix SFS?

[IHATEINDIANS]

Title, I have SFS + recessed jaw and possibly maxilla. Will bimax fix all three of these?

If they do a CW rotation a lil bit yeah.
However if you have a recessed jaw most likely they'll do CCW rotation so I think it will actually make it worse.

But it will fix the recessed jaw and just a lil bit the maxilla,

Yes but they can do downgraft with it so basically you can still get CWW, but it will make your philtrum longer.

Is it very noticeably longer?

In some cases they do a net CCW downgraft of maxilla - where posterior > anterior downgraft

Depends on how much you downgraft the maxilla anteriorly. How bad is your tooth show?

I mean if you have a surgeon that actually listens to you for cosmetic advice then yeah.
But most surgeons just make the surgery to fix the "medical" issue and don't really care to make it look good.

Thing is 90%+ patients don’t have a clue about rotation. It’s true that a lot of old school surgeons just do clockwise rotation and the patients aren’t any the wiser.
