At this moment there is no need for surgery.

Dear XXXXXXX Hi
Thanks for your reply.
After having gone through your history and the uploaded recent photograph I have the feeling that treatment is not required at this moment.
However, if you think for cosmetic considerations you may approach the dental surgeons specialized in Orthodontic reconstructive surgery.
Treatment may include reconstructive procedures such as osteotomies or orthognathic surgical procedure and soft tissue debulking by excision of excess masticatory and subcutaneous tissues, with preservation of neuromuscular functions.
Hope this answers your query.
Best regards.
