Hi there, I did just get through with my surgery, and they did remove some bone from the longer side, as Kwan said, but they ended up not adding it to the other side. They said they were very happy with the symmetry once they slimmed down the left side, so I am looking forward to whenever I can see how it's actually going to look. But from what I hear, generally grafts come from the hip, unless your doctor can do as mine planned and use part of one jaw bone to correct the other. ~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
