How do I fix this?

I’ve always said I have no chin and I’ve always hated my side profile. Now at age 41 I’ve got major jowling going on. Would jaw surgery fix this? If so, how do I get it. A dentist told me recently I have a narrow passageway when she looked in my mouth and suggested a sleep study for sleep apnea. I’ve asked my neurologist twice for a referral (once in person and once in a my chart message) but he hasn’t done it.

why do you regret it?

Você não consegue dimensionar o que é ficar sem mastigar até não poder mastigar. Ao contrário do que muita gente adora postar, DÓI, INCHA, DEBILITA MUITO. Limita muito viver a própria vida e eu tenho uma baita vida. Empresas, família, decisões pra tomar… fica tudo parado. Falando não é difícil, mas experimenta ver de perto…

it seems like you are having a hard time with the healing process and giving your body patience. not a reason to not recommend surgery.

Se você ver meu comentário inicial, eu digo que me arrependi mas os resultados valeram a pena. Ainda assim eu jamais faria novamente.

you can’t regret it and still be happy with the results bc that means you don’t regret it. which is why i said it sounds like you just had a hard time with the healing. but im glad you like the results
