My surgeon is considering doing my jaw surgery over Christmas break. My lower jaw needs to be moved forward and upper jaw needs to be move up in 3 parts. Possibly genio but probally not because of insurance.
To the people that have had this surgery, do you think a month would be sufficient time to recover enough to go back to school? The surgery would be mid December and I don't go back to school until mid January. It will be my first year of college and I will be about 4 hours away from my parents.
My only other option would be over summer break but I was planning on either doing tennis camps or a surgical internship and with jaw surgery it would be hard to do either one of those.
? for those who have had upper/lower/genio

I'm a nanny and so I needed more time than most of work since my job is physically demanding and a smile is a must have! (I wouldn't want the toddler to think I don't love her or that she's doing something wrong)
That said, yesterday was 4 weeks for me and I went back to work today and it was fine! You should definetly be ok to go back to school but make sure you actually have a whole four weeks! School is stressful and each week of recovery you can get makes a HUGE difference!
