Can a Le Fort 1 be performed if I already have infraorbital implants?

December 18, 2022
Asked By:LG18 in Scotland, United Kingdom

If I already have infraorbital implants, will this impede the ability to have a Le Fort 1 as part of double jaw surgery? I can see the procedure needs to be fixed with plates that extend into the midface, so was unsure if the implants would get in the way. I also see there are different types of of plates that don’t necessarily extend far into the mid face, however. Many thanks!
