Thank you, I'm finding your channel really helpful. I had SARPE surgery in July 2022 and am still wearing braces, which I've had for a year and a half. I'm having a Le Forte 1 osteotomy towards the end of the year to bring my maxilla forward slightly. I'm already 60 years of age. I'm just wondering if my cheekbones will look flatter after all the numbing's gone down, and is my nose likely to appear a bit wider? If so, what can be done about this please? They didn't do any CT scans for my SARPE. It was done in Germany, where I currently live and is being paid for my by health insurance.
