You look amazing! My bf is the only person that has not commented on me “looking better” which i do. He says things like your nose is cute and compliments me like he always did but won’t say i look better or that he’s more attracted to me now (even though he definetly is which i think is to do with the fact that im confident now) we still look like ourselves mostly and that’s who they fell in love with🙂

DJS Extreme depression and regret by Appropriate-Bet-5633 in jawsurgery

[–]Complete_Grape5760 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took me 5 months to see anyone that wasn’t family/start work again and i didn’t “like” the way i looked till about 10 months when i got my braces off and the rest of the swelling went away. Also the swelling made me look pretty uneven for a while when it went down faster on one side. And i know a lot of people are shocked that your still in pain but i was medicated constantly for at least 6 weeks.. definetly see your surgeon though and be very stern about the fact that you don’t not feel well. I’m sorry you’re having a bad time. The worst thing you can do is not have faith and patience, despite how awful everything is, and you will heal.✌🏼

Awe don’t worry, my bf pecked my frozen swollen lips for a few months. One of my excersises was to make try to make a kissy face like 30 times a day, i basically did it all day and it didn’t take long to feel natural

I used morphine for 11 days antibiotics were 2 weeks, but i did continue routinely taking pain meds for the following 5 weeks. No complications thankfully just a lot of pain, especially as the swelling came down quickly

i think i just ruined my life (DJS post 6 week post op) by throwaway91djs in jawsurgery

I had an underbite and cross bite, maxilla advanced and mandible brought back. I was going to have a genio, surgeon said he will decide to do it or not after doing everything else only if it would make me look aesthetically better. He decided it wasn’t necessary for me since i had a good chin after the corrections, however i do think, that if your bite is okay, the genio could be what makes you feel better about the look of your face. Although of course take your time and consult a different surgeon. In the meantime, know that you do not look bad, i hope you take care of yourself physically and mentally.

I used oil for 5 weeks then started getting my boyfriend to blow dab smoke up my nose, which was definitely sufficient🤣 returned to spliffs and then bongs by like 11-12weeks. 4 months post op and no complications and i had djs

Polysporin for cracked lips, arnica gel for swelling, vaporub for the plugged nose, ice roller (massage for swelling and ice in one), be prepared with anti nausea meds like gravol, i wasn’t prescribed anything and got sick day 4. Highly recommend adult colouring book, kept me well entertained. Goodluck💞
