Any suggestion for good jaw surgeon in Illinois

[Guest guest]

I was diagnosed by my dentist that I had an overbite, need upper jaw

lift backward and lower jaw advancement. Then he refered me to the

maxillofacial doctor in town. He told me that the operation will

give me only 10% improvement and that he did not think it is worst

my pain and money (he told me I need two time surgery--one for the

upper and another one for the lower, which cause more than

$10,000). But i feel he did not want to do because I am not

American and that he is not familiar with Asian's facial profile, so

he did not reccommend doing surgery. But I think I need to do to

gain my self confidence and to get a better appearance. any

suggestion for nice and expertise jaw surgeon in IL or any where

else such as california and vegas?

Please help, thanks

You can gain a good perspective on the healing process (which takes

patience and even effort) on this site. If you weigh your options

and definitely get an opinion from an oral surgeon or two, then you

can make a more informed decision. Anything that raises your

confidence, self-image, self-esteem, and so on is definitely worth a

second thought. Good luck!
