My maxilla was brought slightly sideway due to the atypical position of my condyle (which are used as a reference for the surgery) which now causes me pretty intolerable TMJ pain. My apnea did improve, so the treatment was legit for me, but it shows how fucked up my phenotype developed due to environmental factors such as too little breastfeeding, poor posture, and so on (very unlikely to be caused by mutations, and my parents don't have my issues). Fuck this modern world causing all sorts of human suffering due to our maladapted nature to it. My surgeon told me he won't reoperate me. Don't think he is suable because probably other surgeons would have made the same error because they aren't trained to understand the root cause of the morphological problems (I tried talking about it with 3 different surgeons to no avail, my atypical TMJ was actually quite easy to identify and I indirectly warned them about it talking about related stuff). You basically have 90%-99% chance of success avoiding varying risks and are playing Russian roulette on those.
I am going to go see other surgeons what they think of this. Hopefully, I can find a way to get reoperated (covered by health insurance where I live). If that can't happen, I'll ask my parents to pay for it in the US as a last resort even if they don't really have the money for it (better accept otherwise: ).
Best case scenario, I get reoperated, fix the pain and add possible forward growth which could be a nice thing in the end.
Or I get reoperated, but still experience pain -> rope
Or don't get reoperated -> rope.
That is all.
