anyone had a chin reduction?

#1 Post by Leebie3 »

my lower jaw is being moved forward 9mm and chin backward 5mm.. this seems like a lot to move my chin back? And will the skin sag/double chin after this?

Hello!!! I'm having my chin up 4mm, I've also wondered if I'll have excess skin and a double chin! I can't offer you any advice. I don't think 4/5mm is that much though! Could be wrong

send your dr an email! my dr chose to move my upper jaw forward about 4mm since he said moving my lower jaw back has more risk of nerve damage and recovery...and he also said because he doesnt want me to have a saggy neck...which he said would show more as i age!! Never even thought of that before he brought that up.
