The cranial structure
was based on 30 pins...
:49:39
and fastened by micro-panels
and bits of bone from the mandible.
:49:42
It appears the cartilage graphs
have maintained your cheek structure.
:49:45
Unfortunately,
because you were in a coma--
:49:47
Doctors. Their power is in jargon,
so you study up.
:49:51
Is that the procedure for all
bilateral periorbital hematomas...
:49:54
in a LeFort Three fracture
of a comatose patient?
:49:56
- In a LeFort Three?
- You do your best.
:49:58
Absolutely.
:49:59
The potential for intracranial
brain damage was too great.
:50:02
Beyond the cheek grafts,
Dr. Pomeranz...
:50:04
are the pins fastened with any kind
of aluminum which could ionize...
:50:07
and cause that pressure
in my head?
:50:09
- I'm ready for another operation.
- we are working on processes.
:50:12
But you're specifically not at
the stage where we can experiment.
:50:17
Experiment. Use me.
:50:19
The headaches will go away.
:50:22
These are more than headaches.
:50:24
These are like steel plates
slicing through my every thought.
:50:28
we're not cowboys.
we can't just wing it.
:50:31
Because I can't think straight
most of the time.
:50:34
- we can increaseyour medication.
- Oh, yes, medication.
:50:38
And there are things
that we'll continue to investigate.
:50:41
However, there are so many others
who've not had the aesthetic benefit...
:50:44
of plastic surgery
as you have.
:50:48
This isn't about vanity,
Dr. Pomeranz.
:50:51
This isn't about vanity.
:50:52
This is about functioning
in the world.
:50:54
It's my job to be out there
functioning.
:50:57
I've got the money.
I'll pay any amount.
