MMA surgery (Sleep apnea)

[Zenthic]

Been recently diagnosed with sleep apnea and while the CPAP is making things better I cannot stop thinking about the fact that there's a very decent likelihood that I can get an MMA surgery covered by insurance. I've lurked long enough to know that I need to find an aesthetics-focused surgeon. But I'm wondering what other things I need to consider. For example, I'm tempted to pay someone (like giant) to evaluate my face and give the surgeon guidance during my consult.

For reference, I'm MTN. My front is decent, side - mild recession (not obviously bad but clearly not great). Unfortunately my jaw isn't my biggest failo - it's my large forehead with a nowrood-esque hairline that I have from birth (sadly it's not cope). And while idk how I'd ever be able to fix it, it seems that fixing my jaw (especially if it's free) is the next best thing.

I really don't think any surgeon would be happy to have guidance from an implant designer on what sort of movements they should do lmao. Surgeons will already be quite annoyed with you if you go into the consult like "hey I want 12mm bsso and 2 degrees ccw" so I can't even imagine how they'll feel having some third party they've never heard of being brought into it

Bad idea. Getting multiple opinions might be a good call, but do now attempt to give your surgeon guidance ect during the consult. You can mention that "oh I talked to surgeon x and they said this", but leave it at that.

Just do the surgery covered by insurance then get genio or something like that maybe? Surgeons are not going to go with giant inplants design if its covered by insurance lol it's for function not aesthetic
