Guest guest Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 OK, time to be a light hearted about a pretty heavy subject. I'd like to start a contest here to get responses on just how bad of recessive chin do you have or started out with before having surgery(s)? I'll throw mine in the ring first, if you base an ideal chin projection as being vertically tangent to the lower lip I started out at approximately 30mm short, that's right, over an inch. If based on being vertically tangent to the nose bridge it was about 25mm. Lower jaw advancement, genioplasty, and an implant have gained about 17mm. I obviously could still use more so may go with a second genioplasty and implant back on top of that. Please, someone beat me at this contest. I'll want to correspond and commiserate with you.
