How much jaw movement should i get?

[hopecel271]

I'm getting Bimax in 5 weeks, and it's getting planned next week, but i don't know how much mm of forward movement i should get. My bite is perfect but my chin is recessed (which will be fixed by a Genioplasty), aside from that my mandible and maxilla are retrognathic (too short), which will be fixed through dysgnathia (the forwardmovement of both jaws). I think around 12mm of forward movement in maxilla and mandible + genioplasty would be perfect, i'm not sure tho, what do yall think, if you have experience with jaw surgery?

do you think 12mm is too much?

more than likely yes

more than likely yes

but do you really think a movement of 6mm or sum would be enough to ascend???
