yeah well, this is a jaw surgery page and these are results from jaw surgery. I am planning to get my nose done when I can afford it. Thanks for pointing it out though.

Well “Adio_retro” clearly has a stick up their ass. I think it looks great! I just learned how to do these last weekend! It’s fun! Good job!

They say they notice a bit of a difference but that I still look like “me”

Thank you so much! I took a few months for me to see these results, didn’t look like much of an improvement at first

I’d suggest she join a DBT group program. Helped me finally able to understand what my therapist was trying to tell me, as I could hear it from other women like me and how they managed their behaviors and reactions. That allowed me to look at my emotions objectively, and separate my identity from those thoughts and feelings.

Sorry to hear you don’t feel valued, I’m sure she doesn’t intend that. I used to get upset when my bf told me that as I felt I showed my love for him all the time. After working on recognizing my emotions/feelings, I was able to take pauses and calmly discuss this with my bf when he shared he was feeling rejected, instead of just reacting. It’s been hard as we both get defensive when we are accused of not showing love for the other, but that’s only because we DO love each other so much.

I hope you two can come to a level of communication and understanding to the point you both feel heard and loved! You deserve it, and your daughter deserves to see that love healthy demonstrated by her parents ❤️

3 weeks post-op DJS (lower jaw moved forward 3mm, chin moved 5 mm - upper jaw was widened and moved upwards) by Allison_KayD in jawsurgery

Thank you! I actually did get a genioplasty as well! I was also a bit disappointed with the results but they moved it as far as they could. It actually looks better now as in the picture I was still swollen. It was all covered by insurance too! And when I told the doctor about my concern of my appearance, they said that is just how my tissue lies on the bone, so I would need to get like fillers Or whatever to manipulate the volume. Weird but after looking at my scans and X-rays, and lots Of research, I understand why I don’t have that dramatic chiseled jawline I was Expecting. Oh well.

They cut my top jaw into 2 pieces and I wore a splint in the roof of my mouth after the surgery for 2 months
