Someone said that if you get surgery to move your maxilla up and forwards your bones will fuse or something and once the surgery is done you won't be able to move your facial bones because some arteries are cut or something during the surgery and that you'd better hope the surgery is done right because if it's not done right you won't be able to move the bones up and forwards with good oral posture if the surgeon didn't do enough advancement... Can anyone elaborate? What were they talking about?
What's the pros and cons of moving the maxilla up and forwards via surgery?
Too risky IMO. Device would be better since you have money to throw

There is a possibility of suffering nerve damage, which is basically endgame. You'll never recover from that and it will significantly worsen the face. I also hear that in more than 50% of the cases the results recede within the following years. Considering the bone has to grow back stronger and fuses like in the case of a break, yeah it will be harder to move later.
