Question for those who have been through the surgery

[Guest guest]

I have a cosmetic question regarding, well, I forgot the medical

term, but the surgery for an underbite. I'm set to have both upper

and lower jaws done in June.

Does the surgery effect your jawline profile (as in the jawline below

your ear)? Or does it mainly change your chin line?

Thanks in advance.

i can't really tell a difference in my jaw line by my ears. i can

definitely tell a difference in my chin. but i haven't seen before

and after pics yet. my OS will probably take my " after " pics on my

next visit to him. i guess i'll really be able to tell what changed

then. but just from my current perspective, really only my chin

changed.

as is true for everyone, each case is different, so you never know.

Depending how your underbite will be fixed. If by saggital split -

only the frontal part should be set back. If by vertical osteotomy -

the back of your jaw line may be effected.
