Guest guest Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 , I was to have both upper and lower surgery but when the surgoen did my models he said my chin came out enough not to do lower. He said my midline was off about 2mm and if I wanted that corrected he would do lower. I decided that wasn't worth the risks for a couple mm. So, I just had upper and so glad. I healed faster, and unless I look really hard you can't even tell my midline is off. I think it will be correctable with rubber bands. > > > > The good news is my surgery date is nov 17th and getting closer > > everyday, the bad news is my OS said he may need to do > > upper/lower/genio and I was prepared for upper/genio.
