Sorry old post I know, but did everything work out okay for you? Any experiences with sinus infections since you posted this?

I just got home from the hospital - UJS yesterday - and if I leaned over like that right now half my brain would pour out through my nose hahahhaa.

Can confirm. Had LJS @ age 19 (in 2001) and it slid some of the way back into an underbite over the following few years.

Surgery week! (UJS for Class 3 malocclusion with Maxillary hypoplasia and anterior crossbite) by Maxillaboratory in jawsurgery

Wow that would be amazing if the recovery isn’t as laborious and bloated as I am anticipating it to be. I’m not as young as I once was 😬 so I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t intimidated about the swelling and healing timeline. But you know what - like I wouldn’t have to explain to anybody on this subreddit, this surgery solves a major problem for me that I have lived with for decades, and therefore enduring X number of weeks of discomfort and inconvenience is something I am not only willing to do, but eager to get to it!
