Thanks for the precision! Bimax indeed best practice but performing BSSO comes with significant risk of nerve damages.

In my (light) case for example two independant surgeons advised me against as the risk outweighed the potential benefice

The risk scales with BSSO distance, surgeon expertise(both quality of work, and especially how long the operation takes).

I wish more research was conducted into improving nerve healing using administration of stuff like Cerebrolysin, other neurotrophic, or cellular stress therapy - e.g. in fat transplantation, pre-op suction promotes vascularization and local growth factor release, dramatically improving fat graft survival rates, in skin/hair, microneedling works wonders through local growth factor release. Could we do the same to the nerves?
