Pros and Cons of MMA Surgery

#1 Post by jhobbs1512 »

I'm going to have MMA surgery later this year. I've done a lot of personal research on the surgery via message boards (like this site), research reports, YouTube, blogs, etc. The surgery is recommended by my oral surgeon due to my restricted airway, lack of energy, fairly severe overbite, etc. I would be lying if I said that I wasn't hopeful about aesthetically pleasing results.

Can any of you share your pros and cons of the surgery? I've made up my mind to have it but I want to know what to expect (emotionally) more than anything.

Thanks again!

Pros: aesthetics, breathing, aesthetics.

Cons: Strange sensations in the facial region.

Good luck with your decision!
