Right side | left side | before I grew facial hair
I know I'll have to do a nose job, but jaw procedures should be performed first. How to fix my lower third? I think my problems are, in order:
- Gonial Angle/Short Ramus - The whole jaw looks weirdly rotated/shaped because of downward growth, making my face look long and just bad. I think it's the worst thing. The ramus should be longer, while the chin and perhaps philtrum could be even shortened - basically rotated counterclockwise.
- Recession - I don't even know how much is it recessed, looks like it's mostly weirdly shaped/rotated. That being said, some advancement of the lower jaw and maybe also maxilla would probably be beneficial. I might have a very small overbite too.
- Narrow Jaw - mostly the lower one? I remember small jaw used to also be a functional problem when I was a kid - I got braces to somehow make my teeth fit.
I'm assuming Double Jaw Surgery with CCW would be the best, but the costs, recovery, and risks make me look for an alternative. (And the question if anyone would be willing to perform it considering I don't have any real functional issues).
So, would anything else be worth it? Like
- MSE? Everyone praises it but I dunno if it would benefit me
- IMDO? Seems like my lower jaw needs intervention the most, mostly praised but not many doctors perform it. Will it improve (1) the gonial angle/ramus?
- SARPE? to make my jaw wider, is there anything to widen the mandible though?
- Chin Wing/Genioplasty alone? genioplasty improvement would probably be minimal if any, could the chin wing help with the angle and recession? I heard it can even widen the jaw as well, so maybe that's the perfect procedure for me, in theory at least.
- anything else idk?
LMK what do you recommend. At the moment I'm afraid Bimax+CCW would be necessary to really help me. I have the money saved but I'm fucking scared lol, would rather go for something else if it's promising.
