6th month update

WORTH IT
6th month update. No more visible swelling left and my life has resumed and diet is back to normal again. Results are so natural that almost none of my family/friends suspected anything (except one relative mentioned that I look a bit different and my face is smaller. I just said I went on a diet lol!) i’d say my biggest win is i’m no longer self conscious esp. when I look down because my face is no longer bottom heavy. Also, my expressions are softer and friendlier now, even my bf noticed this (I used to look unapproachable before lol). As for the sensation on my lower lip, about 95% is back, but I’ve gotten so used to it that I no longer notice the 5% numbness. Overall no regrets and I’m happy I did the surgery. Thank you Girin!!

Adding a 3rd month post op pic. I feel since my face is more oval, I can tie, part and style my hair in any way and it still looks flattering. Never experienced this when my jaw was more square, so super excited about that :)

3rd month update

3rd month update. More than 90% of swelling is gone and my results look very natural. My face is smaller, softer in a subtle way (which is what I wanted) and no longer feel self conscious of my jawline, I definitely feel more confident and beautiful. I met with family recently and no one notice that I had surgery and just assumed that I lost some weight. My diet is back to normal, I can eat crunchy food and burgers, and I can open my mouth by 3 fingers, almost like before. The sensation on my lower lip and chin are 85% back, still some tingling as the nerves continue to regenerate and just a small portion of my left lower lip is still numb but no functional issues. Very happy with the outcome and can’t wait for even more swelling to go down!

Wow, the difference looks amazing — how are you feeling now?
Do you like the changes compared to how you looked before?
Also, was there another reason you decided to get masseter Botox besides just saving money?

Hello! For me there was a 2 month adjustment period I went through to get used to my new look (also because all the swelling distorted my results temporarily) but by the 3rd month I love my results, no regrets. I did masseter botox because it was a quick and easy solution and more affordable than surgery (short term). Jaw reduction is a major surgery that has a long recovery time and needed some planning. But after years of masseter botox and research, I decided this is what I really wanted :)

You can open your mouth about three fingers wide now.
Has there been any discomfort in your daily life?
How long did it take for the sensation to return, and was there anything that helped during that process?
What has been the most satisfying change in your face since the surgery?

Hello, no discomfort in my daily life, almost everything is back to normal and just waiting for the sensation to go back to 100% hopefully. The most satisfying change(s) are my face is smaller, has more of an oval shape, and more photogenic lol, I feel like my goals with v line surgery were met. :)

And of course it made me more confident.
