Doing it twice?, first time didn't deliver in all areas

[Guest guest]

Hello,

Has anyone here had orthognathic surgery a second time to

achieve better correction than the first time. I had my lower jaw

moved forward as well as a genioplasty on my tiny chin ten years

ago. My bite is good, but the chin is still seriously lacking and my

lip incompetence is driving me nuts. At rest my lips are at least a

quarter inch apart. My oral surgeon told me AFTER the surgery

that he could have moved my upper jaw back and that would

have corrected the lip incompetence. Unfortunately, that option

was not mentioned pre-op. I went on my merry way, happy to

have a certain amount of improvement. But now I'm sick of the

still weak profile and the constant muscle strain to close my lips.

I'm having a chin implant put in this week to help solve that

problem and I'm looking into lip advancement possibilities, but I

am suspecting that my upper jaw needs moved like it should

have been in the first place. I'll probably consult with an oral

surgeon soon. I'm hoping to solve this in a less invasive

manner, but I want it fixed. Any comments will be greatly

appreciated.
