Hello,I am in my early 30's now and I am so conscious of my smile especially I have seen couple orthodontist and I am getting mixed feedbacks. Some have suggested Orthognathic surgery to fix the overbite and my incompetent lips, other said TAD should help improve my gummy smile and the tension from my bottom lips/ chin.Would TAD help improving the gummy smile and have my upper lips more noticeable ? maybe have a bit of lip injection to get my lips to rest better once done with the treatment?

The direct answer is 'yes'; but the extent of the procedure is more than 'basic' augmentation of the jawline with implant materials. that is a primary reason why persons choose the augmentation. Also, augmentation often gives better 'control over the entire jawline from chin to angle of the jaw.
Hi,You are at no more risk of a mandible fracture after an osteotomy than before is you wait at least three months. But please remember that you should always walk away from a fight unless you or someone you care about are at risk.Julian
Building the Jawline and creating contours and shapes that balance your facial structure is possible. It is best not to imitate another facial structure unless you have a similar growth pattern. However positive improvements are very possible.
