Yep...

The receding chin will be corrected. The buck teeth may need post op braces if they bug you.

I was worried about looking like Arno, or Homer (Simpson) post-op. Both very exagerated and ridiculous. My appearance didn't change much. Except, I grew a beard. At first because of numbness being a blood-loss shaving hazard. Now, just out of habit.

There is not a ton of info about GBAT. IMHO, if any tongue procedure is combined with an MMA, it will be a good thing...bringing forward the entire jaw/tongue unit is what you want for a larger airway.

70 cases/year sounds ok. I'd personally prefer a larger number, but that is still pretty good to keep your skills up.
