already have good bite but want jaw surgery for cosmetic reasons to alter profile?

I have a good bite already but I do have a mid-facial protrusion and I would prefer if my maxillary profile were more retrognathic. My teeth are already meeting vertically as they should, though....so I imagine preparing my teeth for jaw surgery would be detrimental, creating chewing problems I have never had? i know jaw surgery is performed for cosmetic reasons all the time though for transgendered women but they are altering their mandibles to look less masculine. My aesthetic needs are different.

1. My teeth aren't vertically aligned and the idea of breaking my jaw to align then frightens me enough to leave well enough alone. Everyone has an imperfection and if youre happy with your teeth I wouldn't go messing around with your bone structure.
