I had double jaw surgery & chin reduction. Was my upper jaw moved too far forward? My face looks unbalanced/ chimp-like. (photo)

I was supposed to get this surgery 10 years ago but my mom declined so my underbite was fixed with braces. Years later, I developed severe TMD and still felt insecure and hid my jaw all the time, so I decided to look into getting the surgery. I finally had double jaw surgery almost 8 weeks ago. Originally I was supposed to have my upper jaw moved 6.3mm forward and bottom only rotated with chin reduction, but my surgeon changed it to 7.5mm upper jaw forward and 1.5mm bottom jaw FORWARD as well.
