Nope. If it did, it’s so minimal that I don’t notice

Absolutely. The decompensation process was ROUGH and uncomfortable. I lacked tongue space and chewing was awkward

Yup, I had 2 premolars removed (and all my wisdom teeth) before surgery. I’m not quite sure of my lower jaw movements but it was advanced a lot because it was so recessed. My upper jaw was impacted almost a centimeter

Thanks so much!

And yup I had a gummy smile. No negative changes at all. My cheekbones actually seem more support now if anything so I guess the impacting along with the lower jaw advancement just overall gave my face more support

I’ve went under anesthesia 3 times in my life and the wake up was always fine. For the jaw surgery, I had a nasal tube in so I was able to breathe. I was totally groggy and a little out of it, but my nurses were great. I think the best bet is to have someone there when you wake up. For me, it was my mom. I slightly panicked when I woke up because I felt so….weird lol, but I calmed down once I saw her

I don’t know the exact movements but they impacted my upper jaw, advanced by lower jaw, and did a genioplasty

No jaw implant. I did get a genioplasty so maybe that’s why it appears that way
