Worried about my appearance

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I'm set to undergo upper-and lower-jaw advancement in June, to correct my

moderate sleep apnea. Has anyone out there had this procedure to treat

sleep apnea? I know for sleep apnea surgery cases, the advancement is

more than someone who's getting it just to correct bite/aesthetic issues.

I'm worried that I'm going to look like some sort of ape-man after this, with an

upper jaw advanced 6 mm and a lower jaw advanced approx. 12 mm. I

currently have a significant overbite, which I guess isn't considered

aesthetically pleasing, but an upper jaw that sticks out seems downright

strange. Am I just being too anxiety-ridden, or are cosmetic issues a real

concern for this procedure? Has anyone else gone through this kind of

anxiety?
