All you jawcels and those planning to get Chin wing need to listen up. This is gonna be the brutal truth about the Chin Wing surgery and why you should consider it very well before undergoing it.
We jawcels often suffer from a both narrow and recessed mandible. Both can be fixed with a chin wing BUT you can barely fix both in one procedure. You need two surgeries and surgeons WILL NOT TELL YOU which step you need to take first.
Chin Wing docs will usually drop the jaw angle, move it forward and boom your jaw angles are destroyed and only your recession is fixed.
What you need to do instead is to get a chin wing with median split first solely for the purpose of widening the mandible and getting lateral jaw angle projection.
After that you get a modified chin wing where the cut does not go all the way back to the jas angles to fix your recession.
That way you get a wider mandible AND fix your recession.
If you do it the other way around it's over because your jaw angles will already be destroyed.
Surgeons won't tell that to you so beware.
