daniel7 when i came out of the surgery i hated it...hated it so much! I hated it for about one month.. you should wait at least one month until you can start to see your face.. but i believe if you´re chin isnt as prominent as you wanted you will start do see it some days after the surgery. The thi...

i only got impressions before i put my braces and right before the surgery.. hoppefuly you are getting close to your surgery

You really look great!! Its fantastic to see how people can change so much (for better) with jaw surgery. Congratulations on such a sucess

Chicago29 thank you so much!! I sure dont forget what people keep telling me (here and in the "real" world), im already starting to get used to it, and kind of liking it.. i am so proud of being able to close my lips without making a huge efford!! im sure it will all go well for you too, i...

Reosity she really is gorgeous! I understand what you say about a "strong" jaw, and i understand that surgeons have to make their calculations considering each patient features. The thing is, i had a small jaw and now i have a strong one but im starting to be used to it! Yesterday i had a ...

mountaingirl from what i see in your profile picture you seam to have a defined chin so when changing the jaw i dont think it would be necessary a genioplasty but im not a doctor

i am totally not kidding! As to self-esteem i had many years of suffering when i was little for not being able to close my mouth, for having such a big gummy smile but it all got better with age, i got used, i learned to enjoy my features. My face is COMPLETLY different. Not even my friends recogniz...

ups... the pictures are huge, how do i change that ?

So its been one month since my surgery, my recovery has been great, i feel great (although still a bit swollen) but my self-esteem is extremely low. i was hopping that by now i would have passed this but it seams it is "staying", at least for now. So my surgeon didnt let me know i was gett...

thank you so much for confirming what i believed in the first place.. i´ve also heard that wiring and liquid diet was before they improved the technic with the plates that doesnt allow micromovements! I believe we are lucky indeed cause having your mouth shut must be pretty hard to handle.. also the...

So im almost one month post op (Monday is the one month anniversary). i am still having some self.esteem issues but i think it is getting better ;) But for now my question is... why do all people seam to be wired after surgery? i wasnt! why do you all have to be on a liquid food? i was only for 3 da...
