Newbie - Recontruction of midface with bone graft - LeFort 1

#1 Post by Wickl »

Hello, thanks for all you who keep this site going - I have been lurking a while and am comming out :) This summer I am hoping to get fixed up - Recontruction of midface with bone graft - LeFort 1 (I got all busted up in a motorcycle accident), and just got my quote from Dr. Gunson's office - ouch.

Love to meet you all and find out where your going to get your work done. I live in Colorado and would love to have a more local option but am willing to travel.

Regards,

Wickl

i plan on having surgery with arnett/gunson though it is at least a year away.

they definitely come highly recommended here. if you're aiming for an aesthetic improvement, they are world-class.

yes, the price is quite steep but in the long run it won't be that much difference. it is your face after all, why cheat yourself the best you can be?

the great thing about them is they do orthognathic surgery exclusively. and they have done thousands, thousands of surgeries.

visit arnett and gunson's office and you will see 200+ before and after photos...i was impressed.

Thanks CaliforniaKid - I agree that these guys are on top, and especially for the final quality of aesthetics - I am just looking to get my jaw back in the right shape after smashing it all up - so the externals are not a big driver for me - and it makes me question whether they make sense for me.
