Guest guest Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 Hello everyone, I have been lurking on this site and the other 2 for over years now. Quick intro, Male 27 year old. I went to see a OS about posibility of having surgery to expand and move the maxilla forward. I had ortho work up and consultation with Orthodontist. Yesterday I got braces for my lower jaw. This is the plan I disscused with my OS and Ortho, fisrt get the SARPE and then 12 down the road have maxilla moved forward and genioplasty. I know this all could have been done in one surgery but the problem is that my Ortho would not have me ready for surgery until of " holidays of next year " and I am desperate to start anything going so I decided to ask OS and ortho to go with SARPE first and then I can wait in peace for the other surgery. My questions for those who had SARPE are: How log is a recovery time? When were you able to go back to work? Thannks in advance.
