my lower jaw surgery with DR Jamali is a total disaster one horrible botched result, I did a lower jaw surgery with DR Jamali on the 9/27/16 to fix my over bite which turn out to be the worst mistake of my life it actually ruin my smile my teeth I can no longer closed my top teeth is so far apart from the bottom teeth and the surgeon stitch in my lower lip extremely tight and stretch it so far up it actually cover up my teeth when ever I smile not even my lower jaw are symmetrically align its been over two months since the surgery and my mouth cant even open wide because of how tightly every thing is stitch in I of to be doubling up ice cream sticks together and put it between my teeth every day to try to see if it could help me to open my mouth up wide. and also when I went into his office and smile to show him that I can no longer see my teeth because of how far up he stretch my lower lip his respond his looks great! I totally regret choosing this surgeon to operate on me my lower jaw surgery does not looks like its been done by a professional jaw surgeon it looks like its been done by someone who doesn't know what they're doing such an awful result, I don't even like looking in the mirror any more cause when ever I do I cry because of how horrible my face now looks

Response from Dr. Jamali:
Unfortunately, any surgical procedure has risks and the surgeon may run into complications. The key is to follow up with the surgeon regularly. We attempted several times to get you back to follow up so we could resolve this issue but you refused to return. Missing appointments or showing up 1 hour late is not a good way to go. You chose a route that is not helpful to you and your health. It is very important to maintain a good relationship with your surgeon if he/she is trying to help you.

similar to my problem, my lower jaw surgery ruined my life totaly.. but you still beautiful.. wait untill you remove braces
What happened to you? I am planning on having jaw surgery soon and I am curious what your experience was.
I had revision surgery last year.. there is slight improvement but it also caused other problems.. I lost bones in my lower jaw specially near to jaw angle.. I couldn't finish Orthodontic treatment with braces due to dilution of teeth roots and jaw bone.. it was hard time.. now I'm looking to find doctor that provide custom implants to restore the shape of my jaw line and angles
But I'm rare case.. I chose doctors poorly, because of my financial and geographical limitations
You are still beautiful but I am so sorry for you that you may need more surgery or when the braces are removed, maybe you will look differently? Please get another opinion what is needed to correct the problem. I appreciate you for sharing as I have been considering the surgery as I have a cross bite.
How are you as of today? Did things improve for you?
Thank you for sharing. I will not be booking with him now. Yikes
How are you Cassie? Have the jaw alignment improve with time? How are you coping with the results now? Did you decide to live with what's happened or get more surgery and risk more of your health? I'm so sorry it's happened to you. Looking at your after picture, you're still a very beautiful woman.
