These are before and afters taken while smiling. The photo on the left is before surgery (smiling), and the one on the right is 8.75 weeks post-op (smiling). I decided to post these because the chin often looks different while smiling.

Thanks for sharing the difference when smiling. You don't typically think there will be a difference!

Looks fab! Is it still swollen? Do you have like a slight double chin? I am 5 months post op and still a bit swollen under my chin but i do love the change. Look forward to hearing from you thanks!

I don't have a double chin. My doc said I wouldn't see the final result until at least 6 months post-op, so I assume there is still some swelling.

Did Dr. Deschamps-Braly perform your surgery or did you end up using a maxillofacial surgeon? I am looking into jaw/chin surgery and am wondering on how to find a good maxillofacial surgeon. Thanks!

I think the shape was nicer before, now the chin is moved forward and looks protruding rather than just being a bit long, which is more feminine than protruding forwards

Week 8.75 update

I'm almost 9 weeks post-op. The recovery is going smoothly, and I am glad I decided to have this surgery. The tenderness along my right jawline is all gone (unless I press really hard), I have all feeling back in my lower lip and chin, and probably about half of the feeling in my lower front gum. My lower front 4 teeth are still quite numb, but some feeling has definitely come back and I understand it takes 6-9 months for the tooth numbness to fully resolve. My lower lip and lower gum line (where the incision was made) still feel slightly tight when I smile, but that too is improving slowly but surely. I've attached a photo I just took today. Please feel free to message me or comment with any questions.

I am interested in this procedure as well. I understand that it can be done but wither burring or sliding genioplasty, which one did you get done?

Can you post some more photos? I’m having so much trouble finding a surgeon where people have positive reviews about their surgery. A lot of people say intraoral there was no difference or there was complications.... the surgery itself seems quite expensive as well... so you think that your chin looks smaller but it will take 8 months to see that ?
