Hello JSF,
I am looking to get a jaw surgery to augment my lower facial third.
As a child i had a minor overbite which orthodontics took care of quite nicely. I have a perfect bite.
However, I feel my lower third is very weak and makes me look too feminine. Id like to widen my mandible, especially at the angles, add bulk and projection to my chin.
In addition, ive seen studies that show the chin wing can be a novel technique to improve signs of Obstructive Sleep Apnea
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4339332/ My signs of OSA are far to minor to try and justify a bimax for that soul purpose. my cosmetic concern as well.
I was wondering:
1) If a Chin Wing osteotomy OR a Sliding Genioplasty Osteotomy (likely with a bone graft either way to add bulk) would be the ideal solution for my cosmetic concern. Which of the options would be superior, in what way, and could it improve my breathing during sleep?
2) What are the risks associated with these procedures, and how do they differ? aside from standard surgical risk (nerve damage, bone resorption, bad aesthetic etc)
3) If anybody has had any experience with the pyramid doctors in zurich (D. Brusco, A. Triaca) or has seen any of their chin wing results. web results are quite scarce. PM is fine if you are not comfortable commenting on a public forum
Thanks for your help, advice, and input!
