14 Takeaways from My Dr. Gunson Podcast

(with Timestamps)

Last night I posted my podcast with renowned maxillofacial surgeon Dr. Michael Gunson. So far this interview has the highest average view duration of any video I have ever made.

Here are 14 lessons I learned from Dr. Gunson about double jaw surgery:

1. Arnett Cephalometric Analysis
   Dr. Gunson credits the beauty of his surgeries to the “Arnett Cephalometric analysis.” This analysis takes a different approach by focusing more on facial features than just cranial references. 0:06:35

2. Be Careful with the Term "Normal"
   Dr. Gunson cautions against overusing the term "normal" in facial analysis. He believes it can push surgeons to treat patients according to a standard that might not be best suited for their unique anatomy and functional needs. 1:07:25

3. Risks of Over-Advancing the Jaw
   If the jaws are advanced too much, it can result in lip incompetence. That’s why it’s essential to fully understand the patient's anatomy and functional needs in order to strike the right balance between esthetics and function. 1:14:30
