This does not sound like a strog recommendation:

Ok about the genio.. I just don't see it personally. Maybe you can explain in a few bullet points how it would improve your looks?

You clearly need bimax, what is your occlusal plane like? Hopefully you can get CCWr.

It isn't a strong recommendation for a BIMAX. But there isn't anything stopping me from having the surgery either, health or structure-wise. He was just saying that in his opinion it's a risky procedure. Apparently 30% of people who undergo it never fully recover neurally and 2% get permanent nerve pain. I get that my problems are quite mild in comparison to some others, and it's impossible to say if the end-result is going to be good anyway, so it's quite a risk to take just for a "possible" reward.
It's crystal clear that a genio COULD improve my looks. It's just very important to do it right. If there is no CCW rotation of the chin then i could end up with the "long face" effect. If there is too much rotation then that doesn't look good either.
- A genio would make my side profile much more symmetric
- It would make me appear more masculine from all sides
- I could finally get rid of the beard (if you see my photos there are a few where i don't have it, and you can see why i keep it in the first place) which i don't myself like at all. I can't grow a thick beard and what i can grow is much lighter and redder than my hair, which makes me look like a "mongrel".
What i'm really considering here is whether i should go with a chin-wing genio or the recular one. I refuse to even consider implants, since i've heard so much bad things about them.

Nice to see that it's "clear" at least to someone, since even professionals seem to have completely opposite opinions.
You can see my occlusal plane from the x-ray photos. There is some space for a mild CCW rotation. In my opinion the BIMAX operation (if i decide to have a one) should be a combination of slight CCW rotation and ever so slight advancement. I don't want to end up with a "muzzle", but the risk is real.
That said, there are quite many attractive people who have this strongly prognathic appeareance.

Make sure you get a genio as well, for like 2mm of vertical lengthening and maybe 4mm of advancement.
