Midface alterations after Lefort 1 bimax?

[Deleted member 4797]

Does anybody know if after bimax, do the zygos change slightly, to a higher/wider/more forward position?

This could happen due to the new tongue position, which could potentially expand and lift the upper mid face over time?

Has anybody who's had bimax experienced or documented anything like this?

you just get a little streched soft tissue at that area

Is this because it pushes your maxilla forward, and just essentially tightens the skin making the zygos appear sharper?

yes

thanks... but if you advance maxilla 3-5 mm via LF1, would that product a noticeable effect on zygo area or does it need more advancement than that to see a diff?
