During this operation, the bones of the midface are cut across the top of the nose, along the floor of the orbits and across the cheekbones. Most of these cuts may be made through the same incision used for your child's other skull surgeries. An additional incision may be placed on the inside of the mouth. No scars are placed on your child's face. After making these cuts, the bones are either moved immediately into their final position and secured in place with plates and screws or moved gradually by a process called rigid external distraction. Which of these techniques is used depends on the age of your child at the time of surgery and the distance that the bones must be moved.
I saw an older man at the mall the other day with this condition. He was walking around the food court and I noticed about a dozen people’s jaws drop. This kid is going to have a normal life, I felt bad for the old man who obviously has had a though life.

Holy shit that sounds painful.
