Before:
After:
LeFort 3 is presented as the holy grail of surgeries here but as you can see, it's no silver bullet.
Stats:
- 23 year old Male
- LeFort 3 osteotomy was performed in combination with LF1 + BSSO:
- 4-mm LF3 advancement
- 5-mm upper jaw advance and 7mm mandibular setback
Outcome:
- Mid face still looks sunken.
- Clearly exhibits sunken eyes (enophthalmos) in the after.
- Needs a septoplasty
Anyone else have thoughts on this case?
