Title: What kind of surgery do you recommend me to do?
Post by: Sergio Martins on January 01, 2015, 07:53:18 PM

I'd like to know what kind of surgery I should have to correct my chin and lips and what the costs of it are (I'm new to this forum, but I've uploaded a picture of me in the attachments)

Your mandible looks recessed. Do you have a profile picture?

Unfortunately no, this was the best picture I could take... I have however an x-ray from my rib cage and you can see the lower half of my face, and I don't see any signs of damage

Orthodontics alone may be enought to just correct your bite and shift your mandible a little so that it is centered. Do you have a crossbite?

I don't have any pains, however, it is frustrating that my teeth do not aligne when I close my mouth, and it sound like it'll crack when I move my chin to the right (btw sorry if I give any grammar mistakes, as English is not my mother tongue)
