The time has come.

I can no longer look at myself in photos without hating my face.

I feel it wasn't as bad when I was younger, perhaps a combination of having braces (that didn't really fix much cosmetically), and maturing physically.

I have about a 10 degree tilt on my teeth and jaw to one side, similar to the image below, but not as bad (this guy has extremely pronounced offset to one side, my main issue is the angle).

This makes my smile extremely uneven, as I cannot raise both sides of my mouth symetrically. Additionally, the line on my cleft chin does not align with the indentation under my nose (not sure of the technical term, but it is significantly offset, at least by a few milimeters).

I am not actually sure whether it is just my lower jaw, or my upper jaw as well. Yet to be determined. I will have a consultation sometime within the next month.

I have very strong germanic facial features (strong brow bone, square jaw) that makes this (in my opinion) very noticeable.

People say they can't notice it in photos, and that I look symmetrical. I am inclined to believe them, but it bothers me, and I think the difference afterwards will be noticeable.

Does anyone here have any experience with operations of this sort?

Advice, or really anything is appreciated.

Do you know if the dude in the reference picture got just braces, or also BSSO?
 
After further review it's looking like more of a 6 degree and BSSO + genioplasty type job. Hopefully upper jaw will remain untouched.

I hope it works out for you.
I'm sure with the right surgeon, you'll be very happy.

Hopefully bro. I literally can't stand to look at my face anymore.

I think it was my orthodontist's fault. I raised it to him when I first got braces and he pretty much said don't worry about it.

My smile is asymmetrical, too. Are your teeth good? You probably know that your teeth are the foundation of your facial aesthetics.

Do you have the money for lefort in the US, or are you planning on getting the surgeries in a more affordable country like Turkey?

Not US based, but yeah I have the money. My teeth are great, had braces, just slight misalignment of middle line

listen kiddo, you're posting on looksmaxxing.org where everyone is either ugly or has surgery. so congrats, you found the right place to be insecure. a hardmaxx like that isn't something you ask about lightly. it takes some serious balls to go under the knife twice and pray they don't fuck up your face...
