Hi all. I think it is my duty to update the forum on how my surgery went.
I joined .org exactly three years ago and I now feel partially indebted to you all for the learnings. As most of you, I came in here looking for answers, which eventually brought me to explore a deep rabbit hole. This caused me to opt for corticotomies, MSE, aligners, veneers, and now, trimax and infraorbital implants, which I will be describing below. Quick teaser on the results (different angle and all that but you get the idea):
Starting point
I departed from an already forward grown maxilla but a noticeably recessed chin, with a long and narrow face and bad under eye support.
Plan
- 2 mm maxilla advancement
- 2 mm maxilla anterior impaction
- 2 mm bsso advancement
- 1.5 mm ramus widening on both sides
- 9.5 mm genioplasty
- 5 degrees ccw
- 2 mm asymmetry correction
- 3.7 mm max in the infraorbitals
Outcome
So far everything has gone according to the plan. It has resulted in a remarkable 15 mm menton advancement, which has given me a nice anteface, hence I no longer look recessed. The ramus widening came in handy, making my jawline more visible, and my eyes look fresher thanks to the infraorbitals. It is still too early to judge some aspects given the residual swelling, yet all in all my expectations were met.
Happy to answer any question you may have and help you in any way I can.
Tagging who supported me along the process and may have interest on the outcome:
