Look at it this way: if your lower jaw is far behind the upper, you can fix this either by moving forward the lower, moving back the upper, or both. At a minimum the OMS will choosing between these three based on aestehtics and overall facial harmony.
Please let me reassure you too that just jutting your jaw forward is an incredibly poor facsimile for the results you will see post-op. As I mentioned, the BSSO procedure generally also includes a rotational component in addition to the forward movement, and you just can't mimic this by jutting your jaw forwards. Almost all people that I have spoken to have been far happier with their actual results than they anticipated based solely on looking at their face with their jaw jutted forward.
Anyway, all of this notwithstanding, the key thing is to get your dental arches into the proper relationship.
