Re: Hi guys, I am new here and wanted to ask about genioplasty.

[Guest guest]

Another idea: Ask your doc to see/talk with folks on whom he has

performed this procedure... Both happy and un.

There are plenty of folks around who have had good/difficult

resolutions. But to see what your own doc has done could be helpful.

And has, I hope.

Hey... I sorry to say that there are no guarantees (at least that I

know of) about any of this stuff. You, or your insurance company,

pays your money and takes your chances.

Talking with others he's worked on might give you a notion about

where he can take you.

Best,
