Hallo everyone,
this my first post!
I'd like to do something about my receding and week chin and a short face (height and width non ideally proportioned)
I've first considered a custom made wrap around peek implant; now I'm preferring the solution of a bimax, which seems just as effective (without having an implant in my face).
I'd like to ask you:
-what you think about the two different alternatives: peek implant Vs bimax, also cost wise...
-good surgeons at a fair price that do cosmetic surgeries like these. I met Defracq which suggested maxillary+peek implant
-I've read of Raffaini and Alfaro which are both interesting. I'm in Europe
-my profession is esthetic related, same goes for cad-cam, therefore I'm searching for a surgeon that can offer the most detailed 3d modeling in virtual reality models
Thank you in advance for any suggestion.

If you're in a profession that has something to do with aesthetics, what happens if surgery goes wrong, and you look worse?
I think you look fine as-is. Good bone structure and low body fat.
Maybe the people here who know about chin wing can let you know if you're a candidate for that. I wouldn't go beyond something like that, personally.

Declined.
Not proper profile pose. Profile pose is a shot taken from the side. No assessments for twisting of the head poses.
Faulty self assessment of 'short face'.
No bimax assessment can be made in absence of a CEPH.

Short answer- In my opinion I'd avoid implants at all costs. Consult with a jaw surgeon.
In my opinion, all implants look terrible. Besides the inferior aesthetics of implants, they also fail to fix basic issues with the anatomy of your jaw. They fail to fix a 'gummy' smile or your midface. If you have a recessed jaw, you can also expect benefits such as improved posture, sleep (very important for cognitive function), and athletic performance from a proper airway. The value proposition of DJS greatly improves when all the factors besides aesthetics are taken into account
Do you need jaw surgery? Respecting others' opinions on this thread on your lack of useful documentation, I will not answer. Get a sleep study. Go see a jaw surgeon. If they say nothing is wrong with little/ no investigation, write them off and continue to visit surgeons until you find an answer you can accept.
