Jaw Surgery and Singing

[bracefacemama]

Hey Everyone.

I know I'm going to be posting a lot of questions in the next few weeks. T-minus 4 weeks until surgery.
I'm having upper jaw surgery to correct an open bite and I know that it will interfere with my nose at least partially since where its being plated is quite close to the nasal cavity.
Has anyone who sings had issues with their singing post surgery? I think thats my biggest concern right now

I've actually read more than once that the surgery will improve your singing voice. I think there are some threads here about it, and I know there is an older blog somewhere in cyber space written by a music teacher.

I would like to know about singing and jaw surgery also. Any ideas?

it will improve because you will be able to stand straighter and also breath easier

can you post pre fots and share what you are having done
