Guest guest Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 hi , We are almost neighbors. I live in North Huntingdon, I had my surgery done at UPMC. I've heard of Aestique, but I always thought it was strictly cosmetic and plastic surgery. I had my upper advanced due to an underbite, my lower was also moved back (only 3mm). I am 11 weeks post-op, I've had a few setbacks but I am almost through. I'm not sure what process they follow there, but if your surgeon and orthodontist feel you are ready for surgery, then your next appointment could be to discuss specifics of the surgery and start pre-op records and measuments. I think I had 2 consults with my surgeon immediatly pro-op and then all of the pre-op studies.
