Dr said I wouldn't be happy with result - should I get a second opinion? (Photo)

Asked By:hule in Appleton, Wisconsin

In a consult for chin augmentation, the doctor said the procedure wouldn't give me what I'm looking for. I have a "pointy" weak chin and an overbite, and he said an implant would only make my chin pointier, and what I need is the surgery to cut and lengthen the jawbone. He doesn't do that surgery so I don't suspect him of upselling or anything.
