My surgeon wanted to inspect the surgical hooks and go over all the details of the surgery. He told me that the Laforte is a 3-4 hour surgery. The blood that I stored is a precaution.
They will be taking impressions with the hooks on to do a mock surgery and measurements as I imagined this is very precise surgery dealing with my face... And everything needs to be perfect.
He explained that the surgical hooks are necessary for the jaws to be closed with elastics. I will not be able to eat anything solid for 4-6 weeks. No sucking of straws either this causes air pockets and lots of pain.
I should be able to work from home after a week. He told me there will be alot of swelling much more than before to be prepared mentally for this.
