What kind of jaw surgery?
visualplane
(Aug 24 05, 14:07)I had a some severe atrophying in my top jaw line and pallet because of an old injury. Funny cos I went at first to go for some dental work, and they took some X-rays and were like "oh shit" and immediately send me off for CT scans on my head and found out i had a big problem.
I was referred to a plastic surgeon and a periodontist to try and reverse what's going on. It was cool cos they work in the same office so one did half the work and the other finished it. they went in and placed cadaver bone and membrane in my mouth and tacked it in in hopes to promote bone growth. Then they did some tissue grafts and stuff. If it doesn't work that great this time i have to do it again in 6 months :(. but, crazy what they can do through your mouth to change your face. I've had probably over 40 hours of reconstructive plastic surgery done on me since i was 12, without one cut to my face on the outside.
crazy huh?
