I have considerable asymmetry in my jaw and looking for a way to fix this in combination with fixing my retruded maxilla. I'll be going for jaw surgery but I'm uncertain whether I need upper jaw expansion or getting the lower jaw pushed slightly backward. My goal is to achieve the best cosmetic transformation possible

Hello,This would be a completely unrealistic expectation/result from jaw surgery. The only way to achieve this kind of skeletal change would be corrective jaw surgery, however the result remains unrealistic.
Hi Andre, Before diving into surgery, it may be a good idea to identify any issues with you tmj. Consider getting an MRI of you tmj to assess the disc. I would advise against doing an isolated genioplasty without getting evaluated for corrective jaw surgery.
