Still dealing with the issues caused by this surgeon's Lefort 1 3-piece

Here are some additional pictures from the surgery outcome and picture of me before any surgery. I am still dealing with pain, discomfort & functional issues that initiated from this surgery and am providing more pictures post-op & before any surgeries

Slanted posteriors and slanted anterior

Not only is my anterior slanted as a result of this surgeon's lefort 1 3-piece, so are my posteriors in different directions. The 2nd surgeon only did a lefort 1 1-piece which rotated the misaligned lefort 1 3-piece so the slanted posteriors were a result of Matouk's surgery. I have had so many issues with my jaw since this surgeon's lefort 1 3-piece. With the open-bite, I mainly had eating, talking & sinusitis issues and I thought this was going to help. What I have now seems so much worse with the pain and discomfort on the sides of jaw & joints area (at times worse than others), tension from the pressure points of contact & midface created by the slant, eating & talking issues as a result of this major upper jaw cant.

More pictures from after my surgery with this surgeon.

I have alot of pictures from after my surgery with his surgeon and here are a few most notable I wanted to share. I do not feel this surgeon was transparent with me as you can see in the xray his office gave me.

This surgeon's lefort 1 (3-piece) osteotomy surgery outcome for me has resulted in slanted upper jaw, an uncomfortable/misaligned/uneven jaw/bite wing...only jaw contact between lower jaw on right, does not contact on left without shifting my lower jaw painfully into the slant, the left anterior was reattached higher and this surgeon sanded down the bone reattached higher instead of redoing the surgery, etc... It is not a good sign when people ask who did my surgery and it is not for a referral but rather to avoid them ending up in my position. His surgery resulted in a left-posterior to left-anterior open-bite & I now have misaligned, slanted, complexed surgically created jaw deformity that has been very difficult to live with. I regret having this surgery with this surgeon and not sure why he did not do the original double jaw surgery he quoted for me. This has been a very painful outcome that I can't be undone and I hope no one goes through what I am going through as a result.
