I have been debating in my head which one of these two to get.
here are the pros and cons of both for me.
I have attached a photo of my lower third, be honest and practical in your assessment
Genioplasty
Pros
- Cost efficient compared to a double jaw surgery
- does not require the removal of my wisdom teeth (which can potentially descend you)
- Time efficient compared to double jaw surgery (pre-op time, post op recovery, etc)
- Has a good ROI for me chin wise
Cons
- Results may be unsatisfactory, and disappointing compared to what I am expecting.
Double jaw surgery (+Genioplasty)
Pros
- Guaranteed ascension in the lower third, since I am not only advancing the chin but the mandible and maxilla too.
Cons
- Cost is much higher than a genioplasty alone (I do not have sleep apnea or anything that requires me to get the surgery, I have not got a CT scan yet so who knows but in my everyday life I feel basically nothing)
- the Time it takes pre op and post op is much higher than a genioplasty alone, potentially 12 months pre op and 3 months post op.
- I have to get my wisdom teeth removed (contain stem cells, and are essential for your nervous system)
- May be overkill for my situation
