I had DJS/genio in July 2022, movements: Upper jaw - 6mm forward and 1mm down Chin - 7mm forward and 2mm up I am unhappy with the results of my genio. I feel like I look hideous. Pictures of myself cause me to cry and I feel overwhelmed because this surgery was extremely difficult for me. I’ve also read that reverse genios can have a lot of issues as well. My major concerns: 1. Face is too long. 2. Chin projects too much/tight/numb/is bulgy 3. Bottom lip is tight/numb. 4. Smile is crooked.
