What type of procedure do I need on my recessed jaw? (Photo)

November 26, 2019
Asked By:cnlondon in London, GB

I want a rhinoplasty but would also like to make my receding jaw more forward and masculine. Although my mouth naturally falls open and I have a bit of a gummy smile, my teeth align quite well (I think – see photo) and I have no functional problems. I also don’t really know where to start in terms of who to see (orthodontist, maxillofacial surgeon or plastic surgeon). I also don’t mind having braces for a few years if it corrects my jaw. Am open to all procedures. Thanks for any responses.
