Guest guest Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 I have been doing alot of research on this surgery (sagittal split). I have to admit is seems very scary. I wonder why the orthodontist and maxillo facial surgeon think it is best when there are so many risks involved. Are they that confident in themselves that there should be no problems or should one be reluctant to proceed with this operation? Just sufing the web I have come across many that would advise against it, or are bad outcomes the only ones who post. I wonder if 8 or 9 out of 10 are actually happy with their outcome with no complications and would actually do it again. I am not sure I want to have a surgery to correct something for just personal reasons vs medical reasons. The surgeon I met with stated he has done thousands of these. Does that mean there will be no problems?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
