Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Has anyone had a genioplasty revision they've been happy with?
I've heard of just a few instances where a revision genioplasty turned out well, and many more where it caused ptosis, dimpling etc. Anyone who's had a revision, please share your experience including the positives and negatives. I still really want one, but am also terrified that it will exacerbate these issues, which I already have to a degree.
Still so unbelievably frustrated that this man could cause me so much damage by treating me in such a careless/clueless manner (and now I'm also scared that all surgeons have as little awareness/knowledge of what they're doing as Jamali had when performing my surgery).
I'm scared that most chins are "good" for one genioplasty only and that he has put me in a situation where because of the riskiness of revision I'm stuck with a chin that was worse than before I had any surgery.

Be careful with his realself reviews
A lot of them sound like they were written by the same few people, and several of the accounts were created the same day as the review was posted (or a day or two before).
In mid October 2021 his Instagram posts change very suddenly from getting less than 100 likes per post to getting hundreds or thousands of likes per post, and then in January 2022 they change back to getting less than 100 likes per post. Same trend with Instagram comments- which during that time period were often from accounts that don’t seem like real people.
Someone who posted a comment that one of his jaw surgery cases needed significantly more advancement had their comment deleted. He told me that both I and all the plastic and maxillofacial surgeons wanting to advance my chin following the unwanted horizontal setback he performed were simply “wrong” (exact phrasing). He doesn’t seem to understand that if everyone else thinks a stronger chin looks better (both due to shape and impact on soft tissue and jawline), perhaps it is him who is wrong.
There are other people who were hurt by him whose reviews have vanished or who posted on other sites (eg, Archwired).
He obviously carefully manages and promotes his online presence which is why his reviews appear so “glowing”. He was very untruthful with me both with regards to the risks of this surgery and with regards to the movements he performed on me (without consent, seemingly just to get a good Instagram post), and seemed to be trying to threaten me to make me go away.
He told me that my chin looked “great” and that if he were to put it on Instagram everyone would agree. Maybe they would if he just zoomed in on the tip of my chin; however, when provided with full, candid pictures, rather than a zoomed in snip, everyone agrees it looks worse now due to the setback - a fact which he can see in the comments here but chooses to ignore to maintain the illusion that I am simply “impossible to satisfy”.

Over a year post op
Bony bumps never went away and I am dealing with ongoing skin laxity and ptosis. Chin looks wider than it did before (verified by friends). Mentalis bunches when I talk- muscle appears to have been damaged. Multiple friends who knew I underwent this procedure agree that I look worse now than I did beforehand. I’m still trying to figure out a solution. I am terrified because I have seen a number of stories of revisions resulting in even more dimpling, ptosis or nerve damage, and my revision is made more difficult because of the T-Osteotomy that was done during my first surgery. It feels so unfair that I’m having to deal with this just because Dr Jamali decided to go rogue while I was under anesthesia and move my chin backwards- and then deliberately tried to scare me into not having him put the bone back to where it was.
Dr jamali insists that the most important thing about genioplasty is getting a “soft labiomental fold” and says chin shape is more important than chin position, but by shifting my chin so far backward without telling me he really messed up my jawline, chin pad and skin tautness. I would take a deep labiomental fold any day over the double chin and ptosis that I developed as a result of this surgery- both of which he knew I was concerned about before I had the surgery and told me not to worry about.
He also routinely portrays the recovery on this surgery as easy and swelling as minimal, but when I look back at photos from last December, over a month after my surgery, I am shocked at how freakish I look. This surgery is pretty invasive. Maybe for some folks swelling is minimal but at least for me it was substantial and long lasting. I looked like a bullfrog for the first week, and after two weeks the neck swelling had decreased to reveal the huge bony bumps, which were so large and sharp that Dr Jamali thought they were an infection and prescribed me a separate course of antibiotics. Of course now with the x rays I can see that the bumps are bone.
I would also suggest taking a look at some of the profiles commenting on his Instagram posts. Some of these profiles don’t necessarily seem real; some do seem real but a lot raise suspicion.
