Opinions and feedback on genioplasty 5mm movement
Hello. I was originally on here because I thought my jaws were recessed before my ceph scan breakdown. Turns out my maxilla is too far forward in comparison to my midly retruded mandible. And my oomfs surgeon said Genioplasty is only suitable option in my case. I originally wanted 7mm forward movement + a slightly squarer look to my chin as I hate my chin. I still can’t breathe through my nose, getting a sleep study to determine in 6 weeks post genio. My surgeon refused 7mm and said it would take things out of balance. But I don’t know if he’s being overly conservative or not. The last thing I want is to regret that I didn’t get more advancement. As you can see in the email he even said 5mm and 6mm won’t make a difference. Surgery is tomorrow and I’m extremely worried I will regret not going more, he says it’s too keep facial balance and proportions, but I’m currently 19.5% bodyfat and won’t be a few months after this surgery, so I don’t know if that has a part to play. I just want to garner opinions on if people on this sub think that 7mm would look uncanny on my face , or if it would just be a masculine result still within aesthetic/natural range (which is what I’m going for). And wanted to know if it’s suitable to push for 6mm instead of 5mm before the operation tomorrow. I’m really worried I will be disappointed with 5mm result. Would appreciate any help thankyou.
