Re: ANYONE HERE FROM MONTREAL?

[Guest guest]

Hello Irma,

I'm from Montreal. I got my surgery at Notre-Dame. My surgeon is in Repentigny

(Dre

Faucher).

I got my surgery on June the 4th, and it took a month between the complete work

at the

surgeon's office (molds, x-rays, etc.) and the surgery.

Hey there!

i'm from montreal too..just had my surgery on monday (oct. 24th) in Verdun

hospital.

actually, once it was decided that i was ready to have the upper jaw osteotomy

surgery, i didn't wait long at all..i think from the time we said, ok let's

schedule it, the appointment was scheduled in less than a month..

that surprised me actually cuz you know, with all you hear about wait times

being so long for surgery now etc, i guess it's not the case for jaw surgery..

but yeah, it depends on your particular case too..i mean, you shouldn't wait too

long if you're ready for teh surgery cuz they'll just schedule it..but if you

have to do other things before, like orthodontic treatment, etc..you didn't

mention where you were on those things..

but yeah, and of course it depends on teh hospital too but that's the

thing..from what i understood, the surgery can be placed anywhere where they

have room/time for it..the surgeon can then do it in any of the hospitals where

s/he's placed..but then it might be different if you have a particular surgeon

who works at a specific hospital..mine has his own office in longeuil and does

other types of oral surgery there too..so he's not like linked to verdun

hospital but thats' where i had it done and the day he did mine and i think two

others there.

hope that helps..

hey

i think lower jaw surgery is considered more complicated, cuz of the fact that

the main nerve goes through the lower jaw..so for lower jaw surgeries, you have

a higher risk of loss of sensation/altered sensation, though from what i'm

hearing on this board, in most cases, pple have been getting their feeling back

and not complaining about loss of sensation so that's good.

also, i think someone on the board mentioned there is less swelling with lower

jaw surgery, but i'm not sure if that's true or not..

i think in general though, the most complicated surgery would of course be both

jaws and the chin so if u're only having one done, it's not the most major thing

in comparison to other jaw surgeries..

hope that helps.
