PloskoPlus is 100% correct. this is an EXCELLENT, very realistic result. If you come out like this, with no side effects, you should be thrilled.
I think you greatly underappreciate the significance of that result....
yes i think you are underappreciating how good a result that would be
by the way, there is nothing that "comes close" to double jaw surgery. All the "camoflage" methods are insufficient because there is nothing that can replicate the space (anterior projection) given by advancement. It is subtle but significant.
have a look at people who get jaw implants or genioplasty without addressing their jaw retrusion. They often just look bloated or odd.
I think the biggest hang up are the risks involved and the fact that its purely an aesthetic concern which I don't know if justifies the surgery anymore. I have seen some ok genio results for people with similar profiles to mine, but I will take your word on the jaw implants - I do not want to do implants.
From recessed to a strong Class I profile. That's a nice improvement. What did you expect? Jaw surgery is not magic that turns you into a male model. No surgery in the world will make you look like Sean O'Pry. An isolated genio won't work for you because you already have a decent chin. A recessed jaw with a big pointy chin is not a good look.
I guess just seeing some other morphs of my profile made it seem like the change would be more drastic. I know I won't be a model, I'm just concerned with the base I have and improving that, but it gets difficult to weigh the risks and I still have no idea what the effect on the front will be, I don't want a pointy chin look. So a sg wouldn't provide improvement at all? Despite the bite being "fine"? Maybe I'm thinking about that procedure poorly.
Honestly the change is quite minor , might look better/different in real life as is the case most of the times but if the ccw movement is not great them imo you have a rather straight occlusion plane and also you'r class I , bi-max is not a surgery that was meant to address aesthetic issues at the first place although it does help in nullifying the underlying cause of craniofacial dystrophy. You can look into the chin-visor osteotomy that triaca has posted on the website , I think that could address the issue of a deep labiomental fold + a chin wing could further elongate your jawline.
I've seen the chin wing and it was recommended before but I see a lot of asymmetry from those results I have seen and nobody in the states does this.
Realized results can be quite different from morphs (for better or worse)

That said the kind of improvement you are seeking in your looks will involve more procedures than just jaw surgery and there are no guarantees. Like I told u in PM.
Rhinoplasty is a given. But the jaw is hard to decide on and I know I'm being difficult on these forums
