[Bimax 2 weeks post op] Why is my my chin less pointy than in the surgical simulation?

[Deleted member 3048]

I had bimax (wtih sliding genioplasty) 2 weeks ago so I'm still swollen as shit.

I noticed that my chin seems a lot flatter than I expected it to be. I'm fine with the position of the chin, but the lack of a mentolabial fold makes it seem like I don't have a chin at all.

I asked about this on reddit and people claimed that it is due to swelling, but I've never seen swelling make someone's chin appear flatter.

X-ray taken 1 week postop.

what people dont get is that bimax isnt permament, you need to keep mewing

I just got the surgery two weeks ago, so I don't think any relapse would happen that fast. Also I've been mewing since I got it.

Swelling could be a factor, if not it looks like the morph might have a little bit more vertical lengthening. Regardless, soft tissue morphs are a very bad indicator since they're nearly impossible to accurately predict.
