I had a recent consult that included the surgical plan of CCW maxilla rotation, slightly forward and up (1-2 mm, small movements). My question is how will this affect my lips and philtrum? After my first jaw surgery, which included CW rotation, my philtrum lengthened and my upper lip kinda hangs above my incisors. I was told CCW rotation will move my upper lip into a better position where my upper lip is supported by my incisors. Would this then create a fuller upper lip and shorter philtrum?
What would be some of the unwanted aesthetics that come with CCW rotation? Further nose widening?
Let's see, your history is that you started with a 'horsey' GUMMY SMILE and convex profile. The surgery you got CORRECTED your gummy smile. Yet somehow you think the surgery you got prior included CW rotation and now want to know some unwanted effects of CCW. See if you can figure out which is used to correct gummy smile, CW or CCW so you have some clue as to the rotation direction you had in the first place.
Although your original complaint was that your face looked 'too long' to you in frontal, for the most part, the surgery you got addressed your prior CONVEX profile. The apparant perceived excess length to the face in frontal was attributed to the chin genio, the 'whys' of which explained to you. Gotta wonder if that info was processed.
Now comes a question for a new appearance problem as to whether or not revision max fax will make a thin lip fuller and a philtrum shorter. STOP. THINK. If this is something you are considering TO do that as with THAT objective, that particular objective is more predictably obtained via lip augmentation and lip lip lift.
Quite frankly, I consider giving any further information on this matter an exercise in futility. Reason being is that you haven't shown much ability to process or 'digest' information that was given to you or that you had already.
If I'm wrong here, I'll eat Lazlo's shorts.
