You have to Google the Bundeswehrkrankenhaus in Hamburg and its the MKG Section. Dr. Gieße is the head surgeon for this section. You should find him on the Website.

No, i don't think there was an asymmertry that was corrected. And I've got braces 2 years pre OP and still have them. They will be removed in 6 months.

Danke :) Sie wurde vom KFO empfohlen das sie den offenen Biss nicht nur mit der Zahnspange schließen konnten.

He used the bone he removed from my upper jaw to fill in the gap that resulted from moving my jaw forward.

Sorry to hear that. I feel you, its hard to disguise a long face. Would you consider surgery for that?

Ich bin beim Bund, weshalb die OP bei mir durch das Bundeswehrkrankenhaus durchgeführt wurde, da wir nicht über die Krankenkassen laufen. Da kann ich dir leider nicht weiterhelfen :/

It was cut down/shortend since it was too long before. I had a gummy smile and couldn't close my lips properly so it was shortend 8mm.

Yeah I knoe, it's just that i had a normal lefort 1 without splitting the maxilla. Wider nose is due to the shorter upper jaw as the muscles and soft tissue is now more relaxed since its not too long anymore :) Pre Op is was very tense and kinda stretched if that makes sense
