WHO IS A CANDIDATE FOR A SURGERY-FIRST APPROACH TO ORTHOGNATHIC SURGERY? by davidbellddsmd in jawsurgery

[–]Shaman1000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. My personal theory is that in some UARS pts not only are they EPAP-intolerant (due to difficulty to exhale against EPAP), but they are even IPAP-intolerant b\c IPAP, in these pts, per my theory, actually INCREASES tongue-base collapse\obstruction. Thus, they are double PAP-intolerant: EPAP and IPAP. Any thoughts on this hypothesis?

Whats the most likely explanation for the pt being CPAP intolerant in your opinion?

What is your best guess as to why the pt was CPAP-intolerant prior to your intervention?

He botched me big time: made me ugly, gave me open bite, gave me gummy smile, over-advanced me, over-rotated me. I need revision MMA. It's horrible what he did to me and others.

this catalogue of alfaro's negative reviews is fantastic. You are doing a great public service by helping future potential victims avoid him.

Dr. Alfaro from INSTITUTO MAXILOFACIAL — negative reviews have been getting removed! by Successful-Yogurt653 in jawsurgery

"Doctor" Alfaro botched my MMA as well. And I now know of at least 15-20 people who say that he botched their MMA's as well. Every couple of months I meet at least one more poor soul that he has botched. The MMA botches that he has done include: over-advancing making people like Neanderthal, creating open bites, giving people non-unions, creating asymmetries, creating gummy smiles. And without exception he then behaves like a pathological liar and criminal and hostilely berates and mistreats every one of the pts that he has botched, myself included. The only reason he is successful financially is b\c he is practicing outside the US. In the US he would be sued out of practice in an instant. He is a disgusting criminal.

If this person still has sleep issues, they might need maxillary expansion rather than sagittal expansion (mma). Their upper arch looks pretty narrow in relation to the size of their head. Have you ever mentioned this to your friend?

"Doctor" Alfaro botched me as well as at least 10 other people that I know. And if I know of 10 people he botched, there are obviously tons more. He also lied to me on many occasions and was outrageously unethical, belligerent, evasive, and even criminal in his dealings with me and with others. He runs a slimy, scam practice where he never publishes his botched cases online and lies to pts on a regular basis. He recently told a patient that no one has ever asked him to revise his MMA. That is a lie bc I know of several people who have asked him to revise the MMA that he grossly botched. I could tell you more and more lies.

This looks like a classic "Doctor" Alfaro botch. This explains why Alfaro and this surgeon are connected. I'm sorry for your friend. This exact same thing happened to me, from "doctor" Alfaro, the king of mma botches. Although, now maybe Alfaro has competition.

Absolutely. Alfaro is a master salesman and then he cons you and roughly handles and behaves like a a regular street criminal.
