Guest guest Posted June 22, 2003 Report Share Posted June 22, 2003 Hi, I just had a sliding reduction genio- you can feel the place where the bone was cut, but its not visible at all. There isn't a huge space there, although I would imagine it would depend on how far you had to go. My surgeon showed me my post-op x-ray- pretty cool! There's a perfect moon shaped cut there, with a couple screws. Its not a wierd sensation or anything, if that's what you are concerned about, although for me the chin was the most painful part. Not to scare you, I'm still glad I did the genio... -- In orthognathicsurgerysupport , " escsofthomenet " <escsofthomenet@y...> wrote: > Still deciding if I should get a genioplasty or not.

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2003 Report Share Posted June 22, 2003 I had upper, lower, & genio almost a month ago. If I run my fingers along my jawline around the " seams " where my genio was done, I can't really feel the difference by touching (though I know just where it would be because the seams are still a little sensitive--not painful, just sort of pins-and-needles). So it's pretty subtle. I think my surgeon can tell by touching it, but hey, he knows what to look for better than I. For what it's worth, I love the aesthetic side-effects of my surgery. I am so glad I had it done. Rhonda > Still deciding if I should get a genioplasty or not.
