Genioplasty has recommended to me, feeling nervous about the aesthetics. Is it right for me? (photos)

Consider double jaw surgery only if you are concerned with your bite and sleep apnea. If your main concern is aesthetics then opt for an advancement genioplasty. The genioplasty procedure is performed in the office with intravenous anesthesia and takes about an hour. The incision is inside and does not change or affect your bite. Most young patients are well recovered in 3-5 days and can eat a normal diet from the first day. No braces are needed.

A genioplasty is usually performed when the teeth are significantly out of alignment. It's performed by an oral surgeon under general anesthesia in a hospital setting with an overnight stay, and is much more invasive.If you're only looking for cosmetic improvement, then consider placement of a chin implant which can be performed under local anesthesia which takes approximately 30 minutes. If you're a mouth breather, make an appointment with an ENT doctor to make sure you don't have a deviated septum or some other type of nasal obstruction issue.
