I created a plan with a local maxillofacial surgeon, what do you guys think? From the outset, I'm not actually recessed - but my lower third is quite short compared to the rest of my face and I have pretty poor upper teeth show when smiling/talking, typical sfs symptoms.
Current

Around 6mm of downgraft and 10 degrees of CW rotation.

do you guys think its worth the pain and suffering and monetary cost for this?
