Re: Leforte 1 maxillary osteotomy

August 26, 2005

Hi,

I had Le fort one, Le fort two bimaxillary oesteotomies, major nose

reconstaruction and cheek bone, and bone graft surgery May 2005. My surgery

lasted just over 14 hours. I was in hospital for 9 days after my surgery. The

first few days I found it hard to drink or swallow and drooled a bit. But I am

100 % happy with the out come of the surgery.

My DD had this surgery August 13th and today is exactally 2 weeks.

She has no swelling and barely bruised and what she had is

already gone. She is getting feeling back in her upper lip

as it feels tingly. She had a rough 3 days but after that all

was uphill. I highly recommend the zip-n-squeeze bags as without

them I do not know what we would have done for at least 4 days.
