Should I get jaw surgery or just a genioplasty? (Photo)

Asked By:ktelane in Ajax, Ontario, Canada

I have an overbite and gummy smile. I think I would be okay with just fixing my recessed chin but how predictable is double jaw surgery in my case where I need to bring up the upper jaw and bring forward the lower jaw?
