How much do you think my chin was moved forward? (Photos)

Asked By:Catdreamer in San Francisco, California

I had sliding genioplasty 4 years ago. I wanted only a slight advancement, like 5-6mm. My surgeon said he moved it 6-7mm. I am still mostly numb in my lip and chin and have a lot of tightness. Do you think my chin was moved forward more than 6mm? The farther the chin is advanced, is there more damage to nerves and soft tissue. I am just trying to understand what when wrong.
