Guest guest Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 Hi My son had upper and genio done. The most change i saw was in his profile, ( he had a weak chin). Looks great now. His nose actually looks smaller when you look at his profile. I think the surgery made the tip go up a little. I can ask him if he minds sending some pics.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 , I had same surgery 3.5 months ago. I am basically happy, though my nose is wider. Those close to me notice, others do not.
