Testing Chin wing!

[stupidjaws]

hey y'all!

So by now we all pretty much know that chin wing is an effective measure to provide a somewhat improvement to the lower third. But is it possible to achieve that defined and trimmed jawline we want with the chin wing and no implants'?

I had a wonderful improvement with my first chin wing, now i'll have a touch up to see if it's possible to pass from average to more than average.

This, is more in general, the problem of cosmetic/orthognatic surgery: going from deformed to normal is, if not easy, possible. The same cannot be said when aiming at improving some feature from average to better than average; while not impossible it seems, at least, unlikely to happen.

I will have my surgery very soon and in 2 months from now i'll be able to draw the first conclusions.

I'll keep you guys posted, feel free to ask me any questions!

what country are you in? I never see chinwing mentioned here in teh UK.

Can you share some before/afters??

[stupidjaws]

I'll do it in germany. I will share before afters, i am happy of how my first chin wing turned out but i'm skeptical about this one; i'm not sure  the kind of result i want will ll be easy to achievfe

You look good now.  You said you have no numbness after a chin wing and a Bimax before that.  Do you really want to risk your nerves for a few mms?

yes. mms are miles in the face.

yes. mms are miles in the face.

I don't have anything to comment regarding chin wings, but I very much agree with this.

Have you got any before and after photo's now of your first chin wing?

[stupidjaws]

yes but i won't share them on the public forum; not now or never!

Dr. Z? I'm going there this summer for a CW.

How much lateral projection can you achieve on each side? What kind of projections did you have? Can a CW also correct a somewhat crooked chin?

[stupidjaws]

yes;
A lot of lateral projections, i started with a TERRIBLE starting point.
yes, it can correct crooked chin!

I'm a big fan of this procedure!

[stupidjaws]

i can't tell you the mm's but quite a lot, perhaps i'll send you some cropped B/a once i'll be back

Interesting, what you wrote earlier really put me off implants for augmentation and  I've had my eyes on this procedure for a while.

One thing I'm concerned about is the gonial angle. In many before/afters it seems to become sloped rather than angular.

[stupidjaws]

don't get implants!!! i might've saved your life
