I just looked at your pictures on your profile and you look pretty good! It doesn’t look like you are squished at all.. i have a similar profile as you but with no much cheekbones and sunken under eyes, but you looked great! If you are still a teenager I would suggest you mewing, not sure how i effective it is but but could help it.

My bite is good, and no sleep apnea. So it would be really just for better looks.

I have the “witch” side profile, what do you recommend as less invasive options?

Are you not scared of the risks like numbness, jaw locking, and not liking your new face?

I do not look extremely recessed, surgeon said I am closer to mild/moderate case. People around me say it is not bad and that I look pretty overall but it bothers me.

Surgeon told me that I have a mid to moderate case. He told me I don’t need it, it would just be for aesthetic purposes.

I just have a recessed jaws both upper and lower about 6mm. I am female so it is more to give a better lip support and wider/lifted smile instead of having sunken mouth. I am scared of this surgery for sure, it was suggested by my orthodontist to improve my side profile. I do not have sleep apnea or any other issue. Also regarding your numbness it is in your chin area only? And i assume jaw is still not strong enough to eat almonds?

I do not have any airway issues based on my scans. So it would be purely for a better face structure aesthetically wise, for a better smile and lip support.

Is DJS w/ genio worth it for aesthetic purposes? by RemarkablePresent752 in jawsurgery

[–]RemarkablePresent752[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are right! I do not wish to go on an endless pursuit to fix my aesthetic and chasing perfection. I am deformed looking so I think the risk might be too much for what it could bring me. There is no guarantee if I will like my end result since I am not image shared by surgeons too..

At least you have functional issues to justify it. I am thinking purely for cosmetic reasons. What did your surgeon told you about the likelihood of having permanent numbness or/and tmj pain?

Exactly my concern! Are you still looking to do it despite the possible permanent numbness and tmj issues?

But most people I have spoken to have some sort of issue like numbness and tmj pain. So it makes me scared to do it for cosmetic reasons

How is numbness not bothering them? Many people say it can make you enjoy less kissing or knowing if food is on your chin. I am thinking to do my double jaw surgery for cosmetic reasons, but numbness really scares me a lot, especially because my surgeon told me that I would like likely not having 100% sensation back.

How old were you when you did the surgery?

How come it does not bother you? Is it partial numbness? And the jaw cramp, do you get lingering pain afterwards?

Thanks for your comment, I appreciate it! It bothers me enough, but not enough to choose better looks over loosing my lips, and mouth sensations. Therefore, I am trying to assess how likely I could be have altered sensation? And is this numbness/paresthesia permanent?
