Say what you will about the result or reasons involved. It's really neat that we can do this kind of stuff to begin with. Medicine never ceases to amaze me.
“Micrognathism is a condition where the jaw is undersized. It is also sometimes called mandibular hypoplasia. It is common in infants, but is usually self-corrected during growth, due to the jaws' increasing in size. It may be a cause of abnormal tooth alignment and in severe cases can hamper feeding. It can also, both in adults and children, make intubation difficult, either during anesthesia or in emergency situations.”
I've had this surgery! Completely changed my life. It's nice to have a jaw line. Recovery was over two months long relearning how to use my jaw, the surgery itself for me was eight hours long.
