Can both jaws be rotated upwards? (Very important for professional maxillofacial surgeons)

January 4, 2020

Hello, I have been wanting to do orthognathic surgery (not injection/fillers) for a long time. My profile is receded & I'm determined to enhance it, I realized that my face/side profile looks much better when both jaws are rotated upwards & moved forward with emphasis on "rotated upwards, I attached a before & after photo I edited to show the kinda result I want, I already put braces on. I would like to know if its possible to do both of these procedures on my jaws to get the desired profile.
