Shutter Island must be a top pick among ppl with genioplasty blues. I watched it while I was still swollen and it got me really depressed, lol. (But it is a very good movie) I'm glad you enjoyed Hitch. Don't know if these are your type but "confessions of a shopaholic", "thank you for smoking", "the devil wears prada" really lifted my spirits up. You've prolly watched all those before. :) (oh and twilight too, I watched it only cos Taylor Lautner is in it, but I'm really too old to be drooling over a teen, lol)

I get more attention from the blokes when I step outside :heart: It's surprising how a litttle change could make a really huge positive difference to your face. And it doesn't really change how you looked like. It's just gonna emphasize your features (in a good way).
I'll upload my pics asap. My bro burrowed my camera:) I'll post the pics the moment I get it back.
Keep your fingers crossed :)

Hehe thats pretty funny.....genioplsty blues! Yes I agree i didn't help. Kinda difficult to laugh, not sure if u find that too, as my bottom lip is still very swoolen and hardly moves when I talk.........

Yeap i really like confessions of shopaholic, but not seen the other two....thanks gives me something else to watch X : )

Oh yeah definately agree, alot of eye candy is useful at this delicate time, Taylor Lautner abit young for me maybe in 10 years lol

Always a confidence boost getting a some compliments, so vain.... but more so from guys huh! No worries, when u get a chance, i'll check ur picts x : )

A few questions:
- Is ur lower lip still swollen (feels big from inside ur mooth but doesnt look it at all from the mirror)

Thank U x : )

P.S think im certain on a reversal as I don't feel like i look at all the same with any slight improvements. I will still keep my fingers crossed on somehow waking up with chin maybe 1-2cm shorter. But unlike x : )

My lower lip isn't swollen anymore. But it was during the first week. Now it has taken a beautful shape. It used to hang loose earlier.

I know what you are going through. I felt the same way :) Wait till the one week mark. I think you'll see a definite improvement.

If you have any questions feel free to ask me. I'd be more than happy to help. Anyone who's had a genioplasty needs all the help he/she can get :D (the emotional impact of the swelling is that bad)
