Hi all, recently I got a HT in Istanbul, it went really well! May go for a round 2. The pictures I attach here are from slightly before as that shows my jaw better (I’ve a short beard now)
History: In the past I’ve had a septoplasty to help breathing but I still am confident breathing can be improved further by some sort of jaw movement forwards as I still sometimes fall asleep and wake up with open mouth. My sense of smell is bad. I also feel my mandible could be a few mm forwards with respect to maxilla, slightly improving over-bite. My bite is narrow, as I’ve obviously had braces for many years as a kid, but it’s pretty good bite.
please see pics:
I notice that I have jaw assymetry in the maxilla/mandible alignment and I think there’s also a bit of miss-alignment in the maxilla with respect to upper third as my left eye squinches more when smiling. My nose is also slightly crooked to the right. I was considering rhino but reckon if jaw work is to be done it should come first.
It looks like to me I need CCW rotation as my face is definitely more long. Im somewhat familiar with procedure terminology, like SARPE, BSSO, lefort, IMDO, genio/chin wing, MSE + FM, SFOT and mewing (cope) etc. And sought to crowdsource some advice and opinions on what to consider for as appropriate means to obtain:
1) general health improvements (breathing & bite) as small as it seems
2) surgeons who are safe (no russian dude) and could do it under 20k (prefer to spend less to get a good cost-effective result by getting simpler procedures, allowing for more moneymaxx saving)
3) ascend and take chad throne
Help a fellow?
