What would this almighty subreddit suggest? (M29)
Hi, feeling vulnerable posting my side profile. Has always been an insecurity of mine since it is very pronounced starting even at my frontal browing. Currently I’m in the position work-wise and financially to explore the options. I’m a MD myself, not in the surgical field, and find myself lost in the endless opinions on here. You guys almost sound like very experienced OMFS yourself.
I would love to hear your opinions on whether to get jaw surgery, and if so, which?
Some extra info:
- My occlusion at the moment is ‘perfect’, albeit it may be a camouflaged underbite since when I sleep I tend to relax my mandible more outward.
- I can breath through my nose comfortably in rest with the correct position, but tend to sleep with mouth open and snore. Father with sorta the same face skeletal structure has OSAS with no underlying obesity or different causes
- The tip of my nose tilts more downwards when smiling, which gives me the idea my maxilla might be underdeveloped
- My protruding chin has been a subject of joking around when I was a kid. Not that it mattered that much to me or left behind emotional scars as I was not bullied extensively, I had the nickname Crimson Chin, lol
