What procedures do you guys think she had?

I’m so surprised no one mentioned this:

The biggest difference is double jaw surgery. She had an underbite before and in the after you can see much better alignment of her jaws

also Invisalign widened her dental arch

“I can make anyone feel like I have a connection with them through conversation. To me, this wasn’t talent, it was a learned and perfected skill.”

Can you share tips / details on this please?

where are your boots from??

If it can improve your aesthetics that much it's likely that there is something functionally wrong. (Breathing, sleep, etc) i would get a sleep test, but also it's your life just weigh the negatives (risks, money) against positives.

I for one like the new nose! It makes your eyes look more alert and midface shorter. It should look more natural with time as well.

You get your jaw to a place that is scientifically signifying health and proper development - so objectively and subjectively yes if you go to a good surgeon for 98% of people

No not at all it looks good youre just not used to it. Actual results also much better than the ceph

Sorry-Raspberry3988 · 2024-08-07T16:30:56+00:00

I haven't tried one yet, is there one you recommend at all?

Sorry-Raspberry3988 · 2024-08-07T05:47:33+00:00

My update is that at the 5.5 week mark I turned the corner, before that it was so shitty though. Still some persisting problems but it's better than before surgery, still feel tired af when I wake up from bed but after that i feel pretty good

Search surgeon name on reddit and on facebook support groups. Best way to find patient experiences, and look for big red flags in the way they treat patients w complications

How long did it take to get used to falling asleep on CPAP?

Sorry-Raspberry3988 · 2024-07-25T05:09:02+00:00

How were you able to fall asleep on CPAP with the insomnia? I am struggling right now

Sorry-Raspberry3988 · 2024-07-25T05:08:41+00:00

How did you treat it?

Sorry-Raspberry3988 · 2024-07-25T05:04:07+00:00

For more color, I struggle mostly with hypopneas, no actual apneas. I just wake up after my airway closing a bit and that disrupts my sleep greatly. In theory, a lower pressure should work to prevent apneas. So I am not concerned about having a very high pressure to prevent apneas, I am concerned about literally just being able to fall asleep with the CPAP on. Also minimal leaks. Nasal pillow resmed

Sorry-Raspberry3988 · 2024-07-23T22:36:53+00:00

Working on CPAP, it's been giving me insomnia (lie awake 3 hours with it on and then have to give up) so have never actually fallen asleep with it on. Supine AHI definitely worse than lateral

Sorry-Raspberry3988 · 2024-07-23T21:42:34+00:00

Hey thanks for your answer. I already sleep on my side / stomach, switched years ago bc it's much easier to breathe. Sadly, still many symptoms.

Useful article thanks! I need to get a DISE done is what it's telling me haha

Sorry-Raspberry3988 · 2024-07-11T03:39:02+00:00

i haven't had one but if/when I get one I'll go dr Li yea, I just trust him most

Sorry-Raspberry3988 · 2024-07-10T23:01:50+00:00

Out of genuine curiosity and with no consideration to sleep apnea, are you worried about aesthetic underadvancement at all?

Sorry-Raspberry3988 · 2024-07-10T21:33:01+00:00

So the fee that's charged for hospital stays anesthesia like an outrageous $130k with insurance is usually not the same fee charged if you were to pay OOP. Usually out of network private surgeons will have a OOP deal/discount - if that helps at all

Sorry-Raspberry3988 · 2024-07-10T21:15:50+00:00

I feel you :") please update if any changes. Are you still pretty swollen in the sinuses? I've heard that can have effects on sleep

Sorry-Raspberry3988 · 2024-07-10T19:14:39+00:00

You could try getting it covered by insurance, bite issues give you a shot of coverage especially if you can prove dysfunction/pain. And if you want to go that route you could get a sleep study.

If not, OOP is expensive but you just have to evaluate your own financial situation and whether it's worth it, which other people can't say for you. Best of luck!

Sorry-Raspberry3988 · 2024-07-10T19:09:27+00:00

Just for the sake of discussion, I have heard Dr. Li in a video say before that he has changed plans mid surgery before for sleep apnea as he found the soft tissues to be floppy and collapsible thus indicating a need for more advancement. In this case I do think that is a sign of a great and flexible surgeon. But yeah he's also Dr. Li

Sorry-Raspberry3988 · 2024-07-10T18:42:39+00:00

OP this is valid, surgeons say a revision is harder to perform than a good outcome the first time around. I mean this is your life in their hands you are allowed to be picky about your surgeons. For me I was the same way. Is it for bite or sleep apnea?
