I have no personal experience with this surgery, however FWIW, there was a girl in my daughter’s high school sport who had this surgery for a fairly severe underbite. She did wear braces for some time before and after the procedure. We saw her a couple of weeks after surgery during the jaw wired shut phase and she did not have any obvious swelling. Ran into her again a few months after the braces were removed and she looked AMAZING. I had to do a double take as I almost didn’t recognize her.
