Black Woman’s Jaw Surgery Review

NissaD.April 12, 2018

WORTH IT$72,999

I had double jaw surgery on Feb 19th 2018 to correct my underbite. During the procedure my doctor removed my wisdom teeth, a genioplasty, as well submental liposuction.
The recovery was BRUTAL. I thought I was fully prepared for post op swelling but nothing could have prepared for just how crazy swollen I ended up being especially in my lips. They were. Huge and they stayed that way for weeks. It was unsightly and really uncomfortable.

How was it getting your insurance to pay for it?

I’m not going to lie, it was very stressful getting them to pay as they gave me a really hard time! They ended up paying for it thankfully but it definitely a stressful process that caused me to miss my initial surgery date! I had to push it out by a very days!

When you say recovery was brutal, in reference to the pain? Is the pain terrible? Your results are so bomb BUT I'm getting scared

No pain at all actually because your face is so numb for so long. When I say brutal I mean just it’s very uncomfortable because you are so swollen. You can’t eat solid food so you’re hangry lol, it’s hard to sleep the first few days so you’re tired. It’s hard to speak, and then you can’t laugh or smile and that was really hard for me lol. I don’t regret surgery at all because I love my results but recovery wasn’t a walk in the park. You should mentally prepare yourself that’s all. Again, pain isn’t the issue no pain at all.
