Thank you! Good luck to you too!
Let me guess, you are a Class 3 underbite right?
What I've known is two jaw involvements is better than one when it comes to results, bite occlusion and stability. But then again, it'll still depend with your case, if you really have a severe one then I think two jaw surgery is the best, genioplasty is used to define your chin like if you have a prominent chin then they will reduce it and vice versa. As you've told that you have a flat mid-face then I think you need an upper as well. As for me, the initial planned procedure is two jaw with the chin. Upper to be brought forward, lower backwards and the chin will be reduced(genioplasty. I am a class 3 malloclusion by the way lol
Though I'm really concerned about my nose if they will do my upper jaw, for sure there will be some changes with the nose e.g. shape or position, there are people who got a good result with their noses after the upper surgery and there the ones who complained also, basically that makes me really confused. Maybe it'll depend on how drastic they are going to move your upper jaw forward. I'm seeking another opinion from another surgeon what I really need to be done based on their perspective based on the findings lol!
Better tell them what you really want, have an open communication- after all this will be the most basic factor for the successful surgery =)
Same, I cannot imagine myself on that day but they say you're out of it before you know it, after that it's all over and the next thing you have to worry is the liquid diet lmfao! and the final results in which after the swelling subsides completely!
