I'm scheduled for October 4th with Dr. Arnett in Santa Barbara, CA! I can relate in that yes I'm still a good two months away but I feel like surgery day is going to be here before I know it. In a month or so I will start compiling all the post-op ...

the nose issue is definitely problem and a lot of surgeons still don't seem to have a handle over it. many will harp about arnett/gunson but when it comes to noses they're under control. but you only have a 4mm open bite which isn't that bad. i would never recommend jaw surgery purely ...

"*Given that Arnett and Gunson operate 150 facial reconstructions per year"

Given that Arnett and Gunson operate 50 facial reconstructions per year, they have developed leading treatment planning and surgical techniques in this field. In fact, about 30 percent of the Arnett-Gunson practice is devoted ...

I asked Gunson on my consult how many times he's performed the surgery. He wasn't sure, but he estimated between 900-1100. That means Arnett has done 3,000 or so. That makes sense he's been practicing since the 70s. I think he said he does 2 operations per week...again, I had a lot of other ...

I found this ad for Arnett's courses where they say they (both of them) evaluated a total of over 10,000 patients for orthognathic surgery, and performed it on over 4,000. Can this be true? If they spend an hour on average with each ...

... you've made some progress yourself as I can see from your blog, I may contact you from time to time with questions, if I do decide to see Gunson/Arnett. Just to know what to expect from 1st visit etc...I hope that's OK. Australia is a very small market as you know (about half of the population ...

... I was told. It will not be deducted from the cost of the orthodontic treatment in future, though. It looks too expensive to me. I heard Gunson/Arnett charge $550 for the first consult, and although not orthodontists, they also do medical and cosmetic imaging. Maybe what I should do is save ...

... domain as jaw surgery which is focused on bone and jaw alignment/health. I have heard good things about Dr.Schendel, Dr.Relle, Dr. Gunson & Arnett and Im sure there are more but look into it! Good luck

... jaw surgery for purely cosmetic reasons? i definitely wouldn't get jaw surgery for just aesthetics. it seems so weird because everyone raves about arnett/gunson yet he is so specific about the experience he had. and i believe arnett treats a lot of re-dos and botched jobs from other surgeons. that's ...

... you think? like i said i have a lot of trust in gunson and his surgical team but i definitely wouldn't have considered him or even become aware of arnett/gunson without this forum and the other jaw surgery boards. most notable patient was asmileconnectsus i believe....but i can't say her condition ...

To all freaked out about Arnett/Gunson's imaging, this photo shows the before, predicted, and actual results. As you can see, she looks much better in her actual after than the prediction. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7080/7042337219_10a1bac123.jpg ...

approximately one month. that other forum seems to have a lot of commentary on arnett/gunson. I just wish I could get some more insight from people who have had surgery with gunson. what questions i should be asking before the surgeon...what to expect precisely. ...

Correct, his surgeon was Arnett. I haven't heard anything negative on Dr. Gunson either.

Do you have a date yet? I'm probably 7 or 8 months away

im reading the thread, it appears the surgery was done by arnett, correct?
