Pain gone?
It is. Now I'm just waiting to get my darn braces off!! I still get sore every now and then but it's better.
That's good you look fab!
Hi, glad for your gr8 results!
I am scheduled for same surgery in July and thinking of canceling it. I am sooo worried about two things: 1) permanent numbness 2) drooling.
Please update it on yours, and when did you go back to work post-op?
Don't worry about the "what ifs" and get it done! I'm here to say I'm 5 months post op and about to get my braces off and no numbness. :). I'm glad I got it because of all the pros! I can finally bite and chew correctly. It's a great feeling and I'm not self conscious to talk in front of people anymore. :) do it!
Oh what a relief! I always got rejected and bullied for my overbite :( I wish I get over! Thanks a lot! When do u recommend to go back to work?
I took a week off. I'm a hairdresser and was back working a week later. :)
Amazing! Why it says 6 week or 4 weeks to go back to work online??
I did same surgery with a high-review doctor in US and Regret it, reasons:
1) bite became off, I keep my mouth open slightly open when I sleep
2)tension feeling in my lower jaw
3) numbness after 1.5 year in my chin and lower lip
4) no feeling for kissing which is frustrating
5)you will not be able to perform oral intimate like before as the jaw gets tired really quick
6)don't feel the food on your chin so I keep wiping the area
7)skin redness in the chin area
8)feel that I spit when I talk, self-conscious!
If you have malocclusion type 2 NEVER go for this surgery! Orthodontics PUSH you to do the surgery and NEVER tells you about this!

You look absolutely amazing!
My surgery is scheduled for 3/21/17 getting excited ! Thanks for your posts. I am an orthodontic assistant and have been for 17 yrs so I know what I'm in for ! 38yrs old and having upper and lower jaw and genioplasty
Thank you so much for all the posts and pictures. I just had surgery on Tues 1/24. I had a big TMJ jaw surgery six years ago which messed up my bite leaving it open and crooked. I had a chin implant put in a few years ago to help with appearance, but it migrated. To correct it they first took out the implant which was tricky b/c nerves were imbedded and then lengthened the lower jaw and chin. I stayed one night in the hospital, thank goodness b/c I have two young kids at home. But now that I'm home it's really tough. I didn't realize how weak I would feel and the numbing and tingling is so weird. I'm managing the pain but it's a lot when the pain meds wear off. When were you able to smile? I wonder if my mouth will ever work properly. Anyway you look great! Hope it's all still going well.
You look great ! I had mine 1/9/17. Are you still wearing bands ? Are you getting all your feelings back or still numb ? Thanks

you look amazing !

Do you still have the tingling feeling? If no, when did it go away? Does it bother?
