What do you think?

Hello,
I went to see another surgeon regarding the MMA. I liked him alot better and could tell he was alot more comfortable with doing the surgery. He said my airway was worse than what the first doc told me. He wants to do an MMA with a GBAT. What is a GBAT? He does approximately 70 MMA's a year with around 20 for sleep apnea. He told me I will have a gummier smile and maybe slightly buck-toothed and I have a slightly recessed chin. Are the change in looks that substantial? He said my looks will change. I don't want to come out looking like a monkey. Is there anywhere that I can contact to get a accurate after photo of myself. The doc said the software he has is not very accurate and they really do not use it because of it's inaccuracies. I go back in a few weeks to go over the surgery and see his plans and see the report he has built. With out this forum I would be suffering for the rest of my life. But with this support I can deal with this, Thanks
