Guest guest Posted February 27, 2005 Report Share Posted February 27, 2005 Hey guys. I have my heart set on this surgery for cosmetic reasons. For about 6 years now my smile has bothered me. Thing is, many of you say you wouldn't do it again if you had to, and that the results aren't that great. What I think it is(just my opinion), those of you with a 'gummy' smile that have it corrected are the ones that are least satisfied, as with my case my upper jaw is incredibly deficient and my lower jaw sticks out too far, so, I guess you can say I have the 'short face' look but with a normal/sticks out too far lower jaw.I would actually be happy with a gummy smile, weird huh? All I want is a smile where you can actually see my upper teeth, and I dont want to look 'angry' all the time. Can anyone give me some insight as to how much this procedure would improve my appearance? Oh yeah, and I already have assymetry, so would the surgery make that worse or could it be somewhat helped? Also one more guys, my nose is kinda 'scrunched' up looking, by 'pulling' my upper jaw down considerably would it make my nose look better or worse? Cause I know pushing the maxilla upwards can cause a deviated septum, but I dont hear much about bringing it down. Thank you all so much for any help!
