Thanks man!-treevernal wrote:Yo Brendan man you look good! Your swelling has gone down a lot and your speech has almost fully returned.
Do you feel a lot different? Like you have this new face and jaws, or is it pretty much the same? Must be weird getting used to a larger mouth. Does the tongue shorten with a BSSO?
Anyway man, I hope when I eventually have surgery that I have even slightly as good a result as you seem to have. Have you noticed the airway changes yet?
Here's to a speedy recovery!

I think when he attached my upper jaw to my cheek bone or whatever, it gave me a black eye, and the blood leaked into my cornea.treevernal wrote:Oh and btw, what happened to your eye?? The cornea is really red, did you injure yourself, or is that just part of the recovery?
Yes they do! He said they normally do it to the cheekbones but that I had good cheekbones and it was not necessary. However, he did use it INSIDE and behind my upper jaw. Also, he used a little bit along my actual jaw line on the left side to make it more even with the right. I cant really notice the difference. But on the x-rays, one side of my jaw is 3-4mm different than the other. So he used some of that.treevernal wrote:Hey Brendan,
I've heard that Drs. Gunson and Arnett sometimes use Hydroyxapatate grafts to the cheekbones, orbital rims, subpupil, and nasal base to further enhance the results of the jaw advancements. Did you have any of that done?
