    Has anyone had this done? I'm particularly interested in hearing from anyone who has had their upper jaw moved forward as I'm afraid what it will do to my nose...

    What was peoples experience with this? Was recovery hard & where the results worth it.

    thanks.

    they cut underneath your nose. it has no effect on your nose. it will develop your midface. if anything it will give more balance to your nose and chin. Are they moving your lower jaw back?
    There is a video on youtube somewhere, it's not something you would like to see. Only you can decide if it is worth it (pain, recovery, risks of surgery e.g. permanent numbness).

    Hi, I just saw this post while doing some research. I'm currently seeing a few orthodontists regarding this kind of operation. I'm wondering have you gone ahead with it since your last post?

    I'd be delighted if you could let me know how it went.
    Thanks!
