WORTH IT
People from high school still don’t recognize me.. So thankful I underwent this surgery. Here’s some updated photos.

I love comparing my old face with my new face now. Best decision I ever made.

Nice results! I’m 1 week post op and still can’t feel half of my face does the numbness come back?
Sorry I only saw this now. I got all my feeling back. I can’t remember how long it took but I feel like it was close to a month or longer!
Hi, it's great when one is happy with the outcome results.
Did you end up needing a rhinoplasty after the double jaw surgery? If so, did you ?
Ps- I agree that you look great both ways, but I also know it depends on you being happy verses what others think.
I didn’t have a rhinoplasty but would like one for cosmetic reasons. I never liked my nose even before surgery. I can breathe normally since jaw surgery so don’t need one
Wow! It’s like your smile
Got wider!
The surgeon did widen it when he broke my jaw! ☺️
Did you have sarpe surgery as well?
No I didn’t!
Great result, you look stunning :) Do you know if they used any kind of implants when they lowered your upper jaw, and did you get the metal removed after surgery? I have to do a double jaw revision in a few months, and this time they will lower the upper jaw and fill the bony gaps with metal plates, so really curious to hear from others that have been through similar surgery.
Thank you! I’m so sorry you have to undergo surgery a second time. My upper jaw was tilted upwards slightly and widened, and is held together with metal. My lower jaw was pulled forward and has 4 metal pieces holding it together. I never had any of removed and don’t even notice it. I didn’t have any gaps to fill, from my understanding my metal was just to hold everything together while it healed into place. If you have any other questions let me know :) Good luck

Could not be happier that I had this surgery. I’ve been fully healed for quite some time now but I’ve finally mentally adjusted to my new face. It’s hard at first seeing photos of yourself and you wonder if it’s an improvement or not, but I’m certain mine is now. My teeth are shifting naturally and not perfectly straight anymore, but I’m still happy with them.

You look incredible, like a model! I unfortunately have been told I have to get the braces (at least) to stop my constant jaw pain. You mentioned yours was free because it wasn’t cosmetic, is that only in NS? I’m in AB. Did you find the braces rough to wear?
I’m so sorry I only saw this now. Thank you! If I had mine done in NB it would have been $25,000 in a private clinic. It was free in NS under Medicare as it’s done in a hospital setting and I had a dentist and orthodontist referral. Braces weren’t fun but worth every penny! Short term pain for long term gain. :)
You were a babe before and after. :)
Thank you!
