Techniques to widen chin & jaw?
« on: September 20, 2024, 04:54:19 PM »
Hi, I am a candidate for DJS+BSSO, but I also have an incredibly narrow chin and narrow jaw. I have this post saved from a long time ago (potentially from this forum) and wanted to get opinions of whether what was proposed in that post is realistic, and if so, whether it would be a good idea to attempt this before, or after DJS+BSSO in my prospective surgery pipeline, and if this would prevent me from pursuing future surgeries (once healed) in any way. Also wondering who (in the US but would go overseas if needed) would consider doing this. Alternatively, I am open to being educated on the best way to achieve this widening effect if it's possible (in the first place) through another means (as I need a technique that affords me the most width I can get). I know this is jawsurgeryforums but I've also recently seen suggestions of the less invasive 'MSE' and 'MSDO' from videos on YouTube like this one and wanted to see if members here see this is as a viable way as well to achieve width: https://youtu.be/i_6RRfLGbhA?si=DM5i5g6UM3wRbNCg

Thanks!

Well it is probably over 10 years old too, to be fair.

I wouldn't mind implants, I was discouraged from pursuing them though a while back by one of the doctors I had met with to get DJS+BSSO (the doctor stressed infection and bone resorption possibilities), but I figure they could accomplish something similar to this a lot more easily. Though I figure if I go the implant route, it would logically have to be after any kind of DJS+BSSO/Genio/Chin Wing to at least let the result from those surgeries settle and see what kind of implant I'd go for then.
