Distraction for Maxillofacial Surgery

[@shadrach6299]

My husband was on two craniofacial teams. I was fortunate enough to sit in on some of their meetings. I’m totally in awe of these surgeons.

[@henrykwieniawski7233]

Fascinating stuff here

[@jaclyndurst4815]

Dr. John W Polley performed two surgeries on me as a child at Rush in Chicago. He was so kind and did an excellent job each time. He is a great man!

[@AceofDlamonds]

I could have benefitted from this as a child 😔

[@aparker884]

i had the the external device for my top jaw. i had the cleft lip and pallet and i was bullied so much prior to the surgery.

andrew parker shit!

Sorry to hear about your experience, but sadly I am not surprised. My ex-wife and the mother of my 2 boys was disabled in a car accident. Scars and neuropathy we can't see anymore, but from time to time we are reminded by the mindlessness comments of carefree idiots. Our 8 year old is becoming a stainless steel lamb, though. She had a bilateral femoral derotation osteotemy. Cut bone, move bone, let heal. Not miles away, i'm sure.

[@JohnDoe-on6ru]

Is it easier than like a regular LeFort 1 for example? Do they not really cut anything, just screw in the distraction device?

[@halorx9863]

can the face be moved upwards?

[@lonnizsolo2349]

the jaw can be moved from any direction

[@Chef_Paley]

Does this lefort 2 causes death if one just want upper jaw to move forward?

[@aarohishah]

For how much time is it kept sir? And is the halo fixed or can be removed at night?

[@sarat.7821]

From my experience with having my red device the doctors estimate that I have to wear the red device (halo) for about 3-6 months. Sadly the halo cannot be removed, it stays on your head until after the 3-6 months.

[@aarohishah]

@@sarat.7821 okay thank you

[@Bhiladpy-up9uy]

Can a lefort 3 be done in adults?

[@henrykwieniawski7233]

If you have sufficient midface hypoplasia, then yes

[@sidhu2666]

Hello sir my 5 year old faceing this problem we want to meet you plz tell us where r u from?

[@alumbo]

If you haven't yet, contact the clinic, Chase it down. Best of luck!

[@jade8568_VR]

Did I just hear the dr say regarding turning " this is a FUN THING for the parents to do"?? and PAINLESS?? well I call BULLSH*T on this! My daughter had the midface advancment with that same purple halo device... and it was anything BUT pain free!!! I was torture for her each time I turned those screws! which in turn was also mentally torchure for me as well!!

[@alumbo]

I call bullshit!

[@gennale]

I'm in the middle of this right now with my son! It definitely is grueling torture and worse... He can't cry....

[@taoyeahright]

I assume these techniques are not realistic in the life of a single adult male with responsibilities? I have very mild hemifacial microsomia. one of the more mild cases. but i assume this is not realistic for me?

[@alumbo]

Why assume? Get a referral.

[@AceofDlamonds]

I should have known about this and seeked a maxillofacial surgeon about it when I was younger. Im 27 now.

[@emem7106]

fillers easier option, if its about looks. but it also treats some sinus issues too.

[@ArtichokeAnarchy]

[@FLBlazerEns]

Who downvoted these videos?

[@gennale]

This is NOT PAIN FREE!!!

[@jcasbos]

Gennale K it is pain free. I wore mine for 3 months. It feels funny but no pain

[@Bhiladpy-up9uy]
