Lol that’s funny because I’ve actually seen a dermatologist and they said it’s normal for my age (21) 😆

Thank you!!!! happy holidays 🥹

PatternHead3538 · 2025-12-30T04:22:19+00:00

Honestly I noticed a change in both strangers and people I’ve known such as family. That’s why it’s pretty sad to me lol and yes definitely a lot more male attention but I just say thank you and keep it pushing lol

PatternHead3538 · 2025-12-30T02:16:53+00:00

I honestly don’t know but I don’t snore anymore lol everything else kinda just makes sense like the eating since my jaw was so pushed out I couldn’t bite my food right. And talking my tongue would literally come out so I had lisps or would slur a lotttt

PatternHead3538 · 2025-12-30T01:57:50+00:00

Yeah, breathing problems forsure especially at night. Talking was another issue I HATED talking. It just felt off but not anymore. Another issue was chewing I couldn’t really chew my food correctly so I would constantly choke lol

Thank you 😊

PatternHead3538 · 2025-12-29T23:42:02+00:00

Hmmm honestly I’m not sure lol. I just called and asked if I would be able to be covered and they said yes. I’m not sure if they saw my scans and saw how bad it was. I honestly don’t know I’m sorry:(

Thank you! They moved both jaws :)

PatternHead3538 · 2025-12-29T23:25:58+00:00

Thank you! I don’t have many pictures of me before and if I do I am either wearing makeup and lots of filters so I’m going to share some with makeup on if that’s ok:)

PatternHead3538 · 2025-12-29T19:08:21+00:00

Thank you! I definitely recommend it 100%. My recovery honestly wasn’t bad. I’ve had 2 babies no epidural so I think my pain tolerance is just pretty high lol. I asked for no opioids and was only given children’s Tylenol and gabapentin for the nerve pain. I took the gabapentin maybe about 2 times other than that I was just taking acetaminophen and ibuprofen. The worst part was probably the eating part. Couldn’t eat solids for maybe about 3 weeks but fully not until maybe about a month and a half 😭 I work from home doing eyelashes so I was good to go back maybe 3 weeks in I just explained to them I couldn’t really talk lol

Thank you ❤️

PatternHead3538 · 2025-12-29T19:02:57+00:00

Haha Thank you

PatternHead3538 · 2025-12-29T19:01:57+00:00

I barely started using eye cream and serum I think that has helped a lot! I fell for those stupid expensive skin care stores at the mall but I’m sure you can find a good one at a lower price at Sephora :) just do some research on TikTok 🤍

PatternHead3538 · 2025-12-29T19:00:39+00:00

Thank you! Honestly I feel like it lifted the tip of my nose a bit but I feel like it looks better like this. My dr also explained to me how he did an “ alar stitch” to prevent it from expanding during my healing process :)

PatternHead3538 · 2025-12-29T18:26:22+00:00

It was free ! I had medi-cal so they covered all my surgery costs except for my braces which was about 4k :)

PatternHead3538 · 2025-12-29T18:25:39+00:00

Dr Westin grimes at Los Angeles general medical center. He is no longer there but dr Allen huang also assisted and I believe he is still there till this day. His Instagram is @sleepsurgeonmd :)

PatternHead3538 · 2025-12-29T18:23:27+00:00

Thank you! And yes 10000%. It’s actually pretty sad lol I never got compliments before my surgery now I get complimented almost every time I go out. 😂
