What is the name of this procedure?

Yup, genioplasty.

Actually I'm wrong, his maxilla and mandibular body also project like +5mm or so, it's an MMA.

what does MMA stand for in this context?

Maxillo-mandibular advancement, which is a a cluster of surgeries related to double jaw movement (with or without rotation)

How can you even see that his maxilla his maxilla was moved? I cant see that at all

Look at his orbital vector and compare pre- and post-operative total facial convexity and nasofacial angles.

why would you even get surgery when you are fat. that just means that you go from invisible to invisible. pointless

guy in OP pic got it for functional reasons (sleep apnea), not cosmetic reasons, although cosmetic is factored in during the planning of the surgery since you don't want to trade one problem for another.

This is also a functional surgery. His health and general life quality likely improved ten-fold.

that explains a lot. thank you

Why exactly do you think we find forward grown faces so attractive?

I can't believe they operated without telling him to lose weight.

his mandible was definitely sliced and moved I can see this easily (medic)

I have this i think it's because of my overbite, but i can do an underbite by moving my jaw forward and it actually keeps my lower teeth from being sheathed in my upper teeth and gives me a pretty great jawline. Is it a braces thing ?

I wouldn't recommend it, OP. I had it done and recovery is a bitch.

I had both jaws and chin moved forward 6 weeks ago. Huge improvement in my profile.

How much did it cost? How long is recovery time? How bad was the recovery?

It cost me 6000 for braces. I still have yet to get a bill (probably about$1500) from the surgeon but the surgery itself was covered under Ontario's health system because I was diagnosed with OSA. The chin was a last minute bonus that was also fully covered so I'm a very grateful about that. Sorryn't help with the cost estimate but I've heard some American insurers cover it. I had to wait 3 years for a booking date because the waitlist is massive here.

The full recovery timeline is 3 months, just like a broken arm or leg. The first week is extremely uncomfortable. Hard to breathe, sleep and of course eat and talk. Swelling is psychologically draining since it keeps you from sleeping well and you look like a fuckin ogre, although it doesn't hurt if you stay on your painkillers (I messed up and went off them too early since I'm afraid of becoming addicted to that kind of stuff and you have seriously unsettling dreams on it)

Side from not being able to eat i felt like 75% normal after about 2 weeks. Now I feel about 95%. I'd absolutely do it again, it wasn't nearly as awful as I expected since the discomfort drastically decreases after the second week, and my sleep apnea is gone entirely. I wake up feeling like a teenager again (I'm 25 now).

While it's fine to mock him for getting a surgery that improves aesthetics while he is still fat, if he had true OSA, the two conditions (obesity and apnea) tend to reinforce eachother. Hopefully he can overcome his bad eating and exercise habits now that he's getting proper sleep.
