Paranasal implants or cheek? I'm thinking of paranasal implants since I have a bad lower maxilla but good bite and don't want to waste 2 years getting braces + bimax.
Only real alternative for lefort 3. What's the advantage of this over cheek/paranasal implants? Would be pretty brutal if there were complications.
Advantages would be the entire maxilla would be fixed.Virtually all the recession in the midface can be fixed easily. Disadvantage is that if you get this it's purely for aesthetics midface implants cannot advance the dental arches that means your philtrum and your chin fold will remain recessed and u will still have issues with breathing,sleep apnea etc. As for complications there aren't many unlike jaw implant it doesn't need to be designed as well.Its just a piece of silicon that sits on the midface to provide structural support. Lefort 1+ This= lefort 3
Does maxilla actually cause sleep apnea? Thought it was just mandible.
It does
What's the mechanism for it? How does it block the tongue/throat?
Midface implant? I thought short maxilla is better? Muh fwhr, right?
but it doesnt take 2 years ? 3-4 months prior 2-3 months post
Really? Lifefuel.
i think i need those
same my whole midface is flat, nasolabial folds, saggy skin, literally no bone jfl
