wolfofthe6ix Posted May 2, 2018 Posted May 2, 2018 Hi everyone, I had braces when I was in high school to fix an overbite, but unfortunately, my orthodontist told me that it would never be completely corrected unless I underwent orthognathic/jaw surgery. Its been a few years since I've had my braces off and I am still not completely satisfied with my profile. After speaking with my ortho again he told me that despite the improvement my lower jaw is still recessed because it is too underdeveloped/small. I am weighing the risk and rewards of going through with the surgery and was wondering if anyone could give me a second opinion as to whether it would be worth the improvement I would see. I am hoping for a stronger, more defined jawline, the first two pictures are my current profile and the third and fourth photos are what I'm hoping for post-surgery. Would this type of outcome be realistic and are there any risks that it could worsen my profile? Thank you for any feedback!

twocupcakes Posted May 7, 2018 Posted May 7, 2018 Maybe you could benefit from the slightest of chin advancements, but I personally think your chin projection is fine. While bone structure is important, achieving a sculpted jawline often has more to do with fat than bone. I think conservative buccal fat removal might define your jawline more. Here's a guy who had a chin implant and buccal fat removal.
