It usually takes a while for your surgeon to give you a surgery date once you are all set for surgery. You will have multiple appointments with your surgeon before surgery(at least 2).

Also, note that you are not just asking for the surgeon's time. The hospital will have to book your operation room well in advance and you will need the services of an anesthesiologist as well. So my guess is your surgeon will need a couple of months to schedule your surgery once you are all set.

Who knows how things work in India. You need genioplasty, not jaw surgery, since your bite is fine.
