I had a consultation with a surgeon and he said i could get a maximum of 1-3mm forward advancement and 4mm vertical downgrafting unless i wanna be dogmaxxed. No ccw rotation.

Is it even worth getting it at that point? it looks like most of the aesthetic improvement is coming from genioplasty. My concern is whether i want to spend a year in braces, pay a shit ton of money, go through a long recovery, develop functional problems and still look the same at the end.

I have sfs and i routinely hear that sfs see the most aesthetic gain from bimax. So i suppose my question is: is the 4mm of downgrafting going to be the main driver of aesthetic improvement?

Yes. I'm in the same boat as you. Every mm counts

4mm down grafting is visually significant
