6 weeks post opt..pics

#1 Post by dittoxtina »

hello!! its been 6 weeks today since my surgery.. i just wanna say im sooo glad i went thru this and i dont not regret my decision. yes it was hard at times, going thru surgery, healing, not being able to eat normal, seeing your face and thinking "what i do!!?", but after it was all over and most of the swelling went down im am very satisfied! :) so for everybody getting ready for this surgery..i just wanna say dont be scared, and you CAN do this.!

so i went back to work a week ago, and EVERYBODY was making over me, it felt good bc i was worried there be some not so good comments about my surgery, but evrybody said they loved the new profile and they supported my decision and were happy for me, so my first day back was better then expected. as for the swelling..most of its gone, but i notice at night my cheecks feel alilittle tiggly and swoleen. and my left side of my chin, lip and tongue are still numb, but all other feeling came back. but im learning to live with the numbness, but i still hope feeling will return. anyways i have to go to the ortho for pics and hopfully they'll have a debanding date, i went a month after surgry and they said i'll probably have them on 3 months. well heres some pics.. i'll update again soon...and i do read eveyboby elses updates as well..were all in this together!!thanks for the support!

You do have a lovely profile! Very good results indeed.

I'm glad that the people around you are supportive and positive. It helps to have at least one cheerleader on our side to help us through.
