Hello everyone, my last year was really busy, so just now I was able to be consulted by the MaxFac that I wanted.
I asked him to try to simulate (Dolphin program) a genioplasty alone and a CCW, to compare both options.
- Genioplasty of 7 mm (most forward)
- Bimax: 4 mm forward in maxilla, total of 14 mm in pogonium advancement, with CCW

Photo 4: 3/4 view of bimax
Costs of each surgery (approx): Genio: $1250. CCW: $3750.
I could go with surgery first approach if I want
My opinion: I really really like the profile of the Bimax, but the 3/4 view looks uncanny, mostly because I don’t have a great fat pad in the submalar region (creating a depression). Maybe the improve in profile is in part the nose hump reduction that will occur? Will genio + nose job be less invasive and have the same results?
I appreciate your opinion.
Thanks
