thanks alot waiting for your replies

I think that from the photo results are great! You were used to old look so new is kinda weird to you.

Thanks a lot for reply @Mylovedtheeth .yes definatly getting used to the new look been kind of hard .but i also feel i have this slight overbite which always makes me doubt on this surgery,about the teeth not all of them touch,mostly the frontal for teeth of upper jaw

When you mean you frontal teeth don't touch, you mean horizontally? Or you mean that your upper incisors are in front of your lower incisors? If so, it is normal, a 3mm overbite is normal. A 0 mm bite-to-bite, is not...

Naturally your top teeth are supposed to sit in front of your lower teeth by a little. Judging from your picture, your profile is perfect. I don't think it's considered an "overbite" at all

@survenant thanks for the reply,yes my upper incisors are in front my lower incisors,i guess by 1-2mm but what i feel is my whole bite has came forward(top and bottom),but i am still not able to judge it.

@alicia thanks for your compliments are reply,yes what i feel is the whole bite has shifted forward including my nose,cheecks.i am having trouble getting used to it yet

here are some more pictures where i feel the bite has came too forward

and the nose has changed a lot ,i am having a septoplasty this week to correct my nasal septum which was shifted to one side after the surgery,anyone of you recommend making any changes to nose?

From the third person's point of view, your new face and profile looks pretty "normal" to me (i mean that as a good thing). Also your nose seems very straight, so I can't see the need for any cosmetic change? I'd say do whatever your heart desires at this point. =)

You look great, your bite seems normal.

than maybe i am just worrying too much,but when i felt my upper jaw was little more forward,it was just not me but even few of my friends felt that,maybe its just 'coz of this HUGE difference..so the last thing i thought to do was posting here as people here actually know's and been through with these surgeries..thanks alot guys i will be posting more about my recovery soon
