didn't you just have revision surgery for un earlier unsatisfactory forehead surgery from the surgeon in Los Angeles ?
Hope that worked out well !

How much asymmetry?   A well trained plastic surgeon who is also trained in orthognathic surgery would be able to evaluate what needs to be done.  A friend saw a number of before/after pictures at one surgeon which included surgery to correct lateral asymmetry and also moving the jaw forward and backwards.

There are only a few surgeons who are well trained in both plastic surgery and orthognathic surgery.  Probably worth traveling for the right one.

I don't see why we don't just have a list for this sort of thing by now.  People have been asking after FFS surgeons for what, years?  Decades?  Yet its still the same he said she said, my friend went here, I heard of this person, blah blah oh and best of all a bunch of weirdos who don't want to say who their surgeon was for some reason I can't fathom.  Why does this process have to be so frustrating when its such a niche area of plastic surgery.

But outside, of this rant I guess I want to say I am interested in this topic as well.  Jaws and chins seem to have much more variance and I don't know who is the bests.
