I'm 3 weeks postop, and had lefort 1 (upper jaw moved up 5mm and back 1mm) and BSSO (lower jaw moved forward 5mm). The first 5 days were hell, but after that it started getting better. I'll be off work for another week (1 month off work). I still don't feel my lower lip and chin (numb and tingly), p...

Hey Vega? How are you doing? I'm now 8 days post op and it's finally getting better.

It might be too far, but I had surgery in Slovenia by dr. Kočar and he was great. Also a specialist for this kind of surgery

You can follow my journey trough double jaw surgery. I'm having surgery in two weeks. I report every time anything surgery related happens.

I'm also having surgery in January 2018, all of my wisdom teeeth were alread my extracted. The lower ones had to be extracted since they cut the bone where the wisdom teeth are. But they left one of my upper one, my surgeon said he will extract it during surgery. He didn't explain why but it doesn't...

My surgery is not this year as I've hoped but it's not that faw. I just got my surgery date and it's happening on 15. January. Excited!!

So many ppl fall to no tooth show after jaw surgery.... I'm too waiting for a plan..what are these doctor thinking.... Not sure but my surgeon has that in plan, so he's not impacting my teeth to much. He says it's better to still have some gummy smile than to over-impact. I guess some surgeons don'...

My surgery is not going to happen in semptember as first thought, as my ortho has some light tweeking to do, and then my surgeon is on vacation. We'll set the date in september, and my surgery is not going to be before november. Good luck to all of you, keep us posted how it's going. Jackie good luc...

My surgeon was talking about surgery in september but we'll set the date in july, right about when you have surgery. I have a tooth thatbhurts me a bit, the dentist fixed (but I need another xray scan to confirm it). And I'm just waiting for my ortho to give us a green light. After that the surgery ...

I show my upper incisors and have lip incompetence. I show 8mm of teeth, and the surgeon is going to minimise that with a VY sutures in addition to double jaw surger where he's going to impact m maxilla for 2-3mm. Not sure how to fix it when you show your bottom teerh though.

I have a similar (over)bite and I'm getting jaw surgery. My ortho and surgeon told me the can't fix ot with elastics and since I have a long upper jaw it's double jaw surgery. But defenetly get a second oppinion because they could fix ot with exteacting some of you teeth and puttong you in elastics ...
