Double jaw or surgery reccondmendation?

[Lame_Sam]

I am seriously thinking about getting double jaw surgery and wanted to get your opinions. My frontal profile is ok, but my lateral profile is lacking projection. I want to ask my dentist if he has any good surgeons that he can refer me to the orthodontist. What's the best way to start the conversation, such as "Do you think I am a good candidate for orthognathic surgery and an orthodontic/surgical consult" I welcome any comments or input from those who have experience with this process.

I don’t know how insurance works but I would never take the risk of going with a bluepilled surgeon for double jaw surgery. Chances are the aesthetic outcome won’t be as good

It's going to be cosmetic more than likely. I have the income to afford it. idk what the insurance will deem it: more than likely anything they will do, functionally, will not botch me.
