Tanja,

I had the finally say in wanting lower surgery. I didnt do it because

it would have been a real minmal move less than 4mm to go thru all

the risks of the surgery. The reason he didnt do the implant at the

time of the surgery was that I might not need it. And that he can

always put one in later at an outpatient appointment. He told me my

face is still changing up to six months after surgery. I am actually

waiting to see if my upper lip comes down any more. The os said it

would take six months for the scar tissue to losen up enough for the

end result. And I am not sure how much my chin rotated up and forward

maybe 4mm. You can see my before and after pics in photos under

Fry. Any more questions feel free to ask.
