WORTH IT
Having double jaw surgery was honestly the best decision I could have ever made. One year on I can't stop smiling, can eat properly and I am no longer self conscious.

OMG, you look fabulous!! I saw your story a long time ago and kept up with your updates having been through the same surgery when I was 18, I'm 53 now. I have a 16 year old nephew who will have the same surgery summer of 2018. This summer he is getting his wisdom teeth pulled and will get braces on in a year. I told him about you and will have to show him your outcome. Go out and celebrate.

Looks great. I'd love to know if you felt like ay of your facial features changed with your surgery. I've heard that sometimes things like your nose or cheekbones could slightly change. Same with smile. Did you experience this?

Thank you so much. That means a lot. I wish your nephew the best of luck, it has honestly been the best decision I have ever made having it done. I am so much more smiley and confident now. I can also bite a sandwich like a normal person!

Wow what a journey you have been on, almost over now!. Im one month post lower jaw advancement and genioplasty, I had upper expansion (SAME/SARPE) 12 months ago. Still swollen and numb but it's always great to see other people's progress.

Thanks for the pictures and description on the whole thing! I'm getting bottom jaw surgery in the spring and braces off in the fall 2017, makes me feel a little more confident, I keep getting people telling me it's not worth it and such, you look beautiful! Cant wait to see a picture with no braces! :)
