Its been 3 weeks (holy COW! Already?? 23 days now...time has literally flown after the first 10 days) since my upper jaw surgery and genioplasty....after a lot of the swelling has gone down, I've been underwhelmed with the aesthetic results. I look *a little* better, but not what I was expecting. I ...

Well, there's literally no difference in the pics you posted, but alright. Good luck

Honestly, you look absolutely fine...I see minimal difference. Genioplasty is no walk in the park and there are risks and complications. From an outside POV you look attractive and normal to me. I don't think you need such a drastic surgery, but in the end its up to you. Just make sure you find a re...

:lol: the blood boogers are legit. They get pretty epic in size too lol My gums were strangely pale for a while too. It turned out fine. Took a few months for the color to completely return to normal. Unless it turns completely white or dark purple, I wouldn't worry about it. Thanks! I saw my surge...

I hope so! I'm loving my profile (minus the neck swelling giving me a double chin, lol) so far, but the front of my face looks whack lol. It's only a week out so I'll give it some time before I make any judgments

My lips are almost back to normal, now, 5 days (I count the day after surgery as day 1, it's just how Im doin it) post op....however, I can't seem to move my top lip very much at all because of all the stitches on my upper lip. I can feel the screws by my nose and it's very disconcerting :( Here's a...

The only difference I see is your chin sloping downward more what kind of result are you looking for?

Can confirm that today's swelling is no worse than it was yesterday. I hope this means that the swelling will start to go down! I'm so tempted to use heat on my face instead of ice packs, but I don't want to make the swelling worse... I can breathe a little through my left nostril, but my right one ...

My lips (which are naturally very thin) have absolutely BALLOONED in size. I have to apply lip balm every 10 minutes or so, and can't close my mouth. I saw my surgeon today and he didn't say that anything was strange about it, but...dear God this is so uncomfortable! ! I had my surgery yesterday (Tu...

Hey now, I'm a lady!! :p



The first night was absolutely AWFUL. today's not so good either, but I'm getting through it. My nose is clogged and affrin doesn't help, and thank goodness my lips are so swollen that they're forced open...I would be able to breathe!

Just remove the space in between the period and the rest of the url...guess this is what they meant! Holy lip swelling, batman!

I'll definitely let everyone know and post some after pics of the inevitable hilarity (probably gonna suck for me, but as long as someone out there gets a kick out of it ... )

I feel pretty numb as far as excitement and nerves go honestly...I'm more scared of the iv than anything, currently. My surgeon mentioned that I will have a face cast thing on my cheeks and chin to reduce swelling, but didn't really delve into what exactly it was/would look like, and I can't find an...

I know there's a lot to read through, and I have definitely been! I guess I'm just looking for some current support lol. Thanks

Just like the title says...my surgery is coming up on the 27th of this month and I've been having sleepless nights and anxiety. I'm getting double jaw surgery and genioplasty....I'm worried sick ! I'm also very grateful to be getting this surgery, because my father gave me 22k (!) So I can pay up fr...
