Don't always assume more is better. In my case some sweetheart surgeon tried to convince me that I needed both the lefort I and bsso done (bimax as you call it) and it took another more experienced surgeon a day to talk me out of it.

It seems that even if a surgeon does one method, say rigid fixation, there are also techniques that differ in ...
