Surgeon

Under construction!

WELCOME TO MY BLOG

On October 17, 2016, I underwent double jaw surgery at the age of 31 to correct my class III skeletal malocclusion (a.k.a. underbite). My jaw surgeon performed a 3-piece LeFort I osteotomy on my upper jaw to advance it by 2 mm and bilateral sagittal split osteotomies on my lower jaw to set it back by 3 mm. He also raised my upper jaw by 2 mm on the right side and 4 mm on the left side to correct my tilt and gummy smile.
