Today my surgeon showed my in PC how I’ll probably look like after the surgery + genioplasty& I’m not sure if I liked it. My profile side looked weird to me & my lower lip looked smaller and rolled in (what I really don’t like). I know I need a lower jaw surgery, I am insecure about my jaw my whole life & always push it forward but I’m scared of the genioplasty that may ruin appearance of my lower lip, I like how the lip looks like now. Should I tell him I don’t want the genioplasty?
