    Lefort I surgery
    I have to get Lefort 1 surgery.


    Of course I don't want to but, my doctor told me I really don't have a choice or else he can't give me braces ;[

    He didn't tell me much about the surgery...

    So I cam here...

    If you have had it, can you please tell me
    1. Is it a lot of preporation before surgery?
    2. How long is it?
    3. Is it a lot of pain?
    -is your mouth wired?
    4. Have you improved?
    5. Is it worth it?


    >< Thank you

    I'd never heard of this term so I googled it and this is what I found.

    Stryker - CranioFacial Surgery - The Surgery (read part 2.)

    I would think there will be some discomfort but many patients have orthognathic surgery done, some before their braces, some after, depending on their circumstances.

    I think you can count on being wired for a bit and yes, in the long run, it's worth it!

    The best thing to do is to ask the doctor who will be doing the surgery.
