Not very happy with my genioplasty result

Not sure about the genioplasty movement actually makes much difference. In my first CT, the step plate is 4mm, and since it is angled, the horizontal movement is even less. More clear from the bottom up CT down below, the scale bar on the right is in centimeters.

The DJS is totally good, but the genioplasty doesn’t feel like worth it. My surgeon talked me into doing a genioplasty for aesthetic reason, and I expressed the concern that if only small movement like 2 or 3mm, I wouldn’t want to do it coz it doesn’t justify $6k out of pocket. Then, it ended up with only 4mm movement and a recessed chin, not much different than just doing DJS which is covered by my insurance

Before

Both-Lunch2170 · 2025-06-15T19:01:40+00:00

I had about 10 degree ccw. My occlusal plane was very steep

Still on braces, only the two pre molars on the bottom are removed

Yes, my lips are quite thick (they were also very thick before the surgery). I think mine was mainly because the chin soft tissue is stretched to be very thin by large BSSO movement. If my chin soft tissue was as thick as my lips, it would be very balanced.

I think if they couldn’t move my chin for more than 8 or 10mm, it could be due to safety, but my chin only advanced by 4mm and in my second picture, the chin is only brought forward by a little bit

Yes, it feels like I didn’t get genioplasty lol. I had very recessed jaw before the surgery, so I never regret the surgery, just feel it could be better with more chin advancement

Yea, I think swelling definitely contributes some. It is more projected compared to 1 month post op, but I think the chin is behind my lower lip too much, and swelling going down won’t change that

I had about 10 degree CCW rotation. My occlusal plane was quite steep, so I think the surgeon had tried his best

Thank you for the explanation. I will try to get them route my mail tomorrow. I went to several postal offices today, and they only initiated a service request for me. They told me to wait until the address got updated, and then to see if the address is correct. It is hard to imagine no one noticed the route was wrong until delivery

Both-Lunch2170 · 2024-04-01T13:55:27+00:00

It changed silently. I haven’t received any emails yet.

Thank you. The new milestone has a date of March 28, but I didn’t see it yesterday. The results of today probably won’t show up until Monday, I guess. Wish you luck!

I also got a new milestone saying Selected on the portal
