MAJOR advancement genioplasty, 11 days post op

[Guest guest]

I've promised to provide reports on the progress of my

genioplasty surgery of Dec 1. My advancement was very

significant being somewhere around 15mm, or about 2 to 3

times more advancement than typical, standard technique

genioplasties. I'm very pleased with my profile, after going

through orthodontics as a teenager, orthodontics with

manidublar advancement and a genioplasty when I was in my

late 20's and still having a very weak profile, I'm so happy that I

finally have what I dreamed of. My swelling is down

considerably and I've been able to return to fairly normal eating,

although I still don't want to bite into anything. It's the large

incision area and sore lip that has restricted my eating which at

first was just like when I had my jaw surgery. If anyone is

considering genioplasty either as a stand alone procedure or in

conjunction with jaw surgery, I just want you to know that if you

have a very severe recessive chin there are surgeons out there

who will give you full correction, not just a modest improvement

and then tell you how " wonderful you look " , when you look in the

mirror and wonder if they even did anything. In addition, if you

were like me and have had jaw advancement/genioplasty and

still have a weak chin, if you're well healed up, you can have a

secondary genioplasty and have the look you desire. I will gladly

answer questions. I will post pics soon.
