You can get away with lower jaw surgery if you have enough space i.e the overjet caused by your upper teeth, to move the jaw forward.

If you have a 5mm overjet, they can move it 4mm. If you have a 10mm overjet, they can move it 9mm. Your upper teeth has to be 1mm more foward than the lower.

If you have a 10mm overjet (after deceompensation), then lower alone would suffice given your upper jaw is in a fine position.

They were able to create a 6mm overjet for me with braces, and since my upper jaw was slightly recessed, add in a 5mm lefort which allowed a total of 10mm for the lower.

I'm post bimax and still swollen. I dunno, I feel 5mm may have been a tad bit too much, but it's like 4 days post surgery so it's likely the swelling that's deceiving me.

You're answering a thread over a year old by now.
Chances are he's moved on and no longer has the hairline of Brad Pitt anymore.
