Long face after surgery! What to do?
« on: September 16, 2017, 03:01:49 PM »
Hi! I had 3 surgeries in 1: upper jaw lift, lower jaw surgery for overbite, and genioplasty. I used to have an oval "ideal" face shape, now my face is oblong and I absolutely hate it. I dont want to have a revision, I made another forum where I got that answer, and that is just stupid.
But is there anything I can do, or the surgeons can do to make my face shorter? Is it something they can remove from my chin?

We'd have to see you or your scans.
Millimeters are miles on the face.

You should consult with some good surgeons (non socialized health care) abroad once enough time has elapsed. 

Lip lift is all i could think of to "shorten" your face from your pics.

I saw them elsewhere. I know who this user is.

She should give it a while before considering any further surgery.

Not enough information. What's an 'upper jaw lift'???? Impaction of anterior maxilla for gummy smile and CCW or an even cut removing a cross section through the entire maxilla as to shorten the whole thing. was it moved forward??

Lower jaw surgery for overbite. OK, moved forward after what changes to the maxilla?
Genio. Sliding upward or downward?

No way to know what you had done with that description. So, no way to tell you what to do.
