-Hi alex, welcome to the group.

I just read over your post and thought i would get back to you. I

had upper & lower jaw surgery on 2 years ago when i was 17. However

i had a stonger chin area as apposed to weak. Im very pleased with

the outcome, and have no regrets at all. From my experience i can

say it was totally worth it, though each to there own i guess.

If you want to check out my photos there are a few in the first week

after surgery under 'Katerinas' in the photo section and there is

also a web address under the links section, under " katerina's

(kat_Uk) photos " . hope this is of some help. feel free to ask any

questions.

kind regards
