Asked By:Bright352552 in Wadgaon, India

I have recently had a genioplasty, its been a month, it was 8mm forward genioplasty. I am not able to accept the changes and want to get it reversed. I know its been too early but its breaking me mentally. I wanted to know when to get it reversed and how risky is it to get it reversed in 3 to 4 months
