I have a long chin and the bone is more developed on one side so my face is very obviously slanted. And also prognathism (lower jaw longer than the upper), when I clench my teeth it becomes an underbite. And I hated my lower face bc it makes me look stupid Im a girl and I do NOT want to look like a gigachad with that chinπ
I've been planning to get braces then do double jaw surgery to fix this, so I can bite better. But honestly the main reason iw to do it is for beauty.
But now I'm second guessing my decisions to do this. Mainly bc recently I've been trying to accept myself for who I am. I have many flaws, but this is the one that I couldn't get over. But I realised, while it costs me the privilege of being conventionally pretty, and i always thought it made me look like low iq(and tbh i still do)it's still a unique feature. If i do the surgery it's gonna take away this ugly but unique feature, and I will just become another average looking person. Plus there are many other reasons for me not to do it too(money, health risks etc). But I really dk, because another part of me still wants to do it because I really find it ugly.
Surgery is a huge step, and if you're having doubts now, then I wouldn't do it! You can always do it in 6 months, a year, or 5....but I recommend continuing on your self love journey before doing something drastic! Unique features are always cool, and a big part of how you're perceived depends on confidence. Good luck OP!

That's always good to discuss with your doctors! There's a huge difference between something medically necessary and life improving, versus strictly cosmetic β€οΈ and it's okay to take some time to think on it!
