I had it done because my underbite was growing and the pain was so severe. The best thing is that my jaw doesn't hurt anymore. The consultant said my cheekbones would look prominent on their own, so I should do the cheekbones too, so I did. But for the cheekbones, I wish I had just asked them to correct only the asymmetry. I think they shaved too much. The side effects are that my face keeps swelling. That, sagging skin, and cheek hollows. The sensation under my lip and in my chin is dull. As for sensation, it seems to be coming back because it keeps tingling from time to time. I think my facial line became prettier. I also gained weight. I heard liposuction is related to elasticity issues, so I joined to look into liposuction.
