After mandibular osteotomy, my facial proportions are less harmonious. Is a genioplasty feasible? (photo)

Asked By:Passionate694992 in Brisbane City, Queensland, Australia

January 2023 I had a mandibular osteotomy to shift my mandible forward and correct and underbite. Unfortunately I now look significantly worse. My profile is well aligned, but my chin is square and very prominent. I consulted with a surgeon who said he would not do a genioplasty because he did not want to disrupt my profile, but my facial proportions are less harmonious and I look masculine. I would prefer to repair that and have an imperfect profile. Open to suggestions and opinions. Thanks!
