Title: Lower jaw surgery and genioplasty, possibly lefort 1? How much improvement?
Post by: Kalvinl7 on May 02, 2018, 02:55:54 PM

Hi everyone, I had braces when I was in high school to fix an overbite, but unfortunately, my orthodontist told me that it would never be completely corrected unless I underwent jaw surgery.

I am weighing the risk and rewards of going through with the surgery and was wondering if anyone could give me a second opinion. The first two pictures is how my current profile looks and the other photos are the results I'm hoping to get closer too post-surgery.

Could anyone give me an idea as to how much of an improvement to my profile/jawline I might see with lower jaw advancement and genioplasty? I am also wondering if lefort 1 would benefit my midface.

Your face looks fine. The 'reward' is it will correct your bite. It's not a means to having the jaw line of a MODEL.
