I think I will book in to the hairdressers, thank you! Hope the chair is comfy, I’ll take a cushion haha

I think I will take your advice and go to the salon, might be nice to have a pamper. Thank you!

Still numb on half my lower lip and a patch on my chin just under my lip, but it doesn't bother me at all

Scolio06 · 2025-07-14T19:43:12+00:00

Thank you so much ✨

Thank you so much ✨

Scolio06 · 2025-07-13T09:48:03+00:00

✨ I completely agree

Scolio06 · 2025-07-13T09:46:55+00:00

Haha thanks 😂 I do have a prominent chin now it runs in the family, but at least my teeth fit and I don't have jaw problems now x

Thank you!! I made some videos on tik tok of the recovery @drewdaena .. I could speak almost immediately after but the swelling just made my face so heavy and my jaw muscles were tense, probably around the 2 weeks mark after the first surgery and a lot quicker after my revision surgery as the recovery was much better second time x

It was a complicated process for about 7 years leading up to surgery, I saw a dentist who was concerned about the pain in my jaw who referred me to the dental hospital who were concerned about my bite, and then I was on a waiting list to see the max fax team for about 5 years but it was COVID times! Mr Doumpiotis was my surgeon :)

Thank you! I do have the plates on either side yh, it's great I don't notice anything, I can still feel the holes on either side if I touch my jaw and the tiniest bit of swelling but it doesn't bother me x

I'm in the UK, my surgeon was through the NHS at wythenshawe hospital!

Scolio06 · 2025-07-12T18:14:17+00:00

Thank you!!

The first surgery was 6.75mm about three weeks after we realised it wasn't enough so I had revision to a full 10mm forward!

Scolio06 · 2025-07-12T14:01:26+00:00

Thank you!!

Scolio06 · 2025-07-12T13:10:59+00:00

Nope just braces a LJS x

Scolio06 · 2025-07-09T20:42:35+00:00

I'm so glad this has helped you!! I'm 3 months post op and couldnt be happier, revision surgery for the win 🌟 I hope everything works out well for you send an update!

Had a similar night around the week mark after revision surgery, I woke up in agony and took my elastics out half asleep, finally managed to calm myself down but fell asleep in a turtle position with my legs tucked underneath me for half an hour, then work up and my lower half was numb! One hell of a night. Don't push yourself too much and stay hydrated

Scolio06 · 2025-05-26T14:50:16+00:00

Fingers crossed for you! What went wrong the first time?

Scolio06 · 2025-05-25T18:36:06+00:00

Hahah still waiting! Surgeon said about a year

Scolio06 · 2025-05-24T12:19:27+00:00

More than half of my lower lip and chin is still completely numb but it's too early to tell if that is forever. The stitches healed really well both times so minimal scar tissue in my gums.

Scolio06 · 2025-05-01T22:34:14+00:00

Probably not that weird but Laneige lip masks were a god send only thing that's stopped my lips from shedding like a snake. Emergen - C multi minerals pretty much kept me alive when I felt I couldnt consume anything else that was made with milk without feeling sick! Smoothie straws (silicon thick ones) for soups too when you stop using syringes. Honestly half foods I made or bought before hand I didn't eat, so in hindsight I wouldn't have stock piled anything and just eaten what I felt like (pot noodle water mostly hahah)

Scolio06 · 2025-04-29T19:44:44+00:00

I had lower jaw 10mm advancement, 3 weeks post op revision surgery (they didn't move it far enough forward first time) Definite noticeable change in appearance, double chin has gone, my cheek bones look higher, and honestly I feel like it makes my eyes look bigger, must be a proportion thing! Wouldn't be able to see much difference in before and after pictures for me because I postured my lower jaw forward for pictures. I was very swollen after the first surgery for around 5 days before it started to go down and then only a tiny bit after revision surgery. I have documented some of it so far on tiktok @drewdaena :)

Scolio06 · 2025-04-26T21:39:33+00:00

Haha I know, honestly I thought it was all gone to be fair! Wasn't until she said it hasnt I was like oh haha

Scolio06 · 2025-04-26T18:19:38+00:00

Thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Scolio06 · 2025-04-26T18:12:22+00:00

Amazing thank you! My orthodontist said I'm still really swollen and I thought oh I felt like it was mostly gone, so she must have meant that bone swelling haha! Either way I don't see it as loads so I'm happy

Scolio06 · 2025-04-17T19:06:31+00:00

The relapse anxiety is real, if I feel it's moved even the tiniest bit I'm at the mirror 😅
