End of advising you because enough was already given. Do what you are going to do and report back how it works for you.
I have now read through it calm and slowly and understand what you said better.
It makes me sad that I probably never will be able to fix my face and keep living in a lonely depressed state.
I now understand face space and it's effect and how it makes the nose look smaller, it's very logical.
I don't have to look exactly like how I look when I jut my jaw forward, that would be the dream scenario.
One question. Jaw position most of the time (except when eating) is creating it's own free space (2.5-3mm in my case) by not having the bite closed. These are very important 3mm in vertical increase which I hope can work to my advantage if I only do a genioplasty. I understand that I will have a squished face when eating if I go through with a genio but I have that now as well and I can live with that if it looks better when my teeth isn't in occlusion.
In the pic of me below my teeth are not in occlusion (my relaxed state)
From looking at that picture, can I get major improvement in a balance/harmony kind of way?
