So Grateful Thank You

Jaw surgery
WORTH IT
I had lower jaw surgery and genioplasty this year and I had to express my gratitude. I have had alot of bad experiences with surgeons as I've had some botched surgery in the past so going into jaw surgery you could imagine how scared I was especially knowing how big this surgery would be for me. I am happy I was able to find Dr.Wittenburg. My dentist actually referred me to someone local in my city but I refused and wanted to go to the best of the best. I remember the first time I talked to him I could tell immeditely how knowledgable he was. I have a deep appreciation for those who are so incredibly smart. I felt like he was a professor when he spoke. I also did not go into the surgery blindly I did alot of research and was prepared for the worst pain In my life but after my surgery was done I could not believe how I literally felt pain free. The moment I woke up my throat was sore due to the breathing tube they had to use but other than that no pain. Even the following days no pain I was so prepared to feel horrible but it was so easy. Out of all my surgeries I've done this was so peaceful. Swelling was crazy my mom loved how chubby my face looked haha. But don't worry you look like a potato for a little bit but by one month you look completely normal. I also never lost any weight during my recovery I made sure to eat alot of calories and keep my body healthy to aid in healing. I am immensely grateful for Dr wittenburg and can't thank him enough. Also I have to mention how Wittenburg was extremely kind towards me. Through the whole experience and after he cared (something I never felt with any other surgeon) he really is so knowledgeable I can't emphasize this enough. I understand alot of patients don't want to share their experience /name or photos as it's a very private procedure and not something you want ppl to know you have had done but I think it's very important for me to share my experience.I want to help those really who are contemplating orthodontic jaw surgery and genioplasty pls reach out to me I would love to help you and help with your decision. I can also give you alot of tips and recipes I used during surgery for my healing.

Hi I'm a real patient I'm not trying to convince anyone I just said that bc ppl always ask for photos and I can empathize towards ppl not wanting to share them since it's not a procedure you want ppl to know you have had done. I also just wanted to help ppl out with the process since I have had horrible experiences
