"...when I looked at my side profile picture, I noticed that I have a double chin, just because my lower jaw is so recessed back into my head."
Yes Yes Yes I had this too!!!!!!! I totally thought I was imagining it now being different, thought it was weight loss or something but it's because the upper jaw goes higher now than it used to because of surgery!!!

I also just got the awesome haircut last week:) BIG difference. AND I bought new sunglasses... VERY essential, so many more styles look amazing now! Woot!

They have to make an incision along my ears for the joint reconstruction to relocate my dislocated discs, I am unsure exactly where or how long. His assistant said either right in front of the ear or along the hair line above the ear to get access to the joint space.
