What effects Do downgrafts have on the front

Do downgrafts make the midface longer ?

no

no

Isn’t a lengthening of the midface the logical result of downgrafts tho? The results I googled all looked like they had a longer midface

Oh no I hope I don’t miss out on those valuable information

Posterior downgrafts no because the point of rotation is at the top front of lefort cut so the chin swings forward

Anterior downgrafts yes - generally only used in short face syndrome

Watch the side profile view of any of alfaros simulations and you can see this in action

A surgeon offered me downgraft but I already have a long midface. I have somewhat of a short face syndrome but I defenitly don’t want a longer midface.

If you have short face syndrome then u will probs look better with anterior (front) dowgraft. If only small sfs then you won't want to much

Here's an example of a guy with sfs who got both anterior and posterior downgrafts with the anterior being a slightly larger which steepness his occlusal plane slightly (but negligible)



Good luck

Shit his got noticeably longer. A different surgeon said nothing about downgrafts. Don’t know if he just can’t do them tho

I guess I will fly over and discuss with him in person

Can u pm me surgeon? I went to a local guy who did not want to do counter clockwise rotation which is a huge red flag and there will be millimeters left on the table if you don't get ccw
