Guest guest Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Have any of the UK people from this board had/or are having a genioplasty (on the NHS)? I just ask because I feel like I have a pretty weak chin now, and that if my lower jaw moved back, it was solve my overbite but make the weak chin look even worse. Therefore I think a genioplasty would be a good idea but Im unsure about how what criteria are involved in adding a genioplasty to jaw surgery, since genioplasty is always cosmetic, whereas you can at least argue that jaw surgery has functional reasons, even if you want it done for cosmetic. How does the NHS treat this? Also I feel sort of cheeky since Im having upper surgery in addition, which is basically due to my long face and gummy smile, ie cosmetic reasons, so I cant really complain! LOL.
