Guest guest Posted November 7, 2004 Report Share Posted November 7, 2004 I would really like to get reactions to these profile shots. This is what I had to show for going through braces for the second time in my life, having lower advancement and a genioplasty. A total combined advancement of 10mm. The surgery was ten years ago and I finally became tired of the poor side profile and lip incompetence that was not addressed in the first surgery. I had a chin implant early this fall, but it failed and had to be removed. I've already consulted with two OS's including the one who did the original surgery and they indicate that due to the length of time since the original genioplasty, that a second genioplasty should be possible. I have another consultation with a doctor who is both an oral/maxilliofacial surgeon and plastic surgeon. For those of you who have followed some of my previous posts, now you can see what has prompted my complaining. Oh, by the way, my original OS's office stated, " that they all thought I looked wonderful " and " couldn't imagine I'd need further work " . I think the photos say otherwise.
