Guest guest Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 Yes, I had the same thing over a year ago. My jaw was moved forward 3mm and up on one side by 5mm. This is called a LeFort 1. The things you need to ask your surgeon is how your jaw will be moved and what effect will it have on your nose and sinuses? I think it's rare, but my nose got bent on one side and I had voice changes. You just need to be aware of that since LeFort involves work on the nasal septum, sinuses and can affect the shape of your nose making it slightly wider. > > Hi, had an appointment last week, and was told that I would be getting > a Le Fort 1?
