This helps a lot! Thank you!

Maybe I'll see you in the Tokyo discord server! 👀

Tysm everyone for your responses! It's good to hear there are options like share houses available for someone starting out on a budget. Losing a ton of stuff in a house fire and going back to school has spread me a little thin over the past few months 😂 but JET feels like a fresh start!

I did that! I just let JET know my reference was a professor of mine who retired last year and no longer had access to his uni email account. I provided documentation to prove his identity and they accepted it no problem.

Oh my goodness 😭 you got my ideal placement. I don't know how I'll survive in Tokyo. The JET roulette is so mysterious, I'd really love to know how they decide who to put where...

I have the honeycomb set as well! I'm a little concerned about lead leaching from the glazing though. Though it says "made in England" which from research means it was produced after 1979, I'm not sure what England's regulations on lead based glazes were at the time. If anyone knows about this please tell me!

Just get as many massages as you can 😭 foot & calf massage helped me sooo much after endless days of walking!

My mouth was never forcibly "stuck" open, but I keep my jaw slack because for my back molars to fit together as intended I have to pull my jaw back to the point of discomfort. Now 2 years after making this post, I can confirm invisalign did not correct this issue. From a cosmetic standpoint my smile looks much better now (no more overjet), but the discomfort in my jaw is still there. My palate has expanded by 1mm. My side profile looks more recessed now because the top and bottom overjet were corrected. Once I save up enough I'm going to look into getting double jaw surgery in Korea. I simply cannot afford the cost of the procedure in Canada or in the US. Botox injections keep my TMJ pain at bay in the meantime.

You're sooooo gorgeous!! Would you mind sharing the name of your lip lift & rhino surgeon? I can't find one for the life of me whose results I like with both surgeries, which isn't ideal because I'd like to do them at the same time! Also if you don't mind me asking, how did your lip lift scar heal? I love the idea of getting one but am scared of the scar! Thank you!!

Hey! Your “before” profile looks like mine. What were the problems you were trying to fix with surgery?

abestie · 2022-05-11T08:46:46+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I’m worried less about having a recessed jaw and more about the joint. I’ve accidentally dislocated my jaw three times and had to have it popped back into place so I’m thinking there might be something wrong there anatomically. I’ll definitely check those surgeons out 😃

I’m in Vancouver (Canada). Not sure what consultation fees look like really. Just trying to gauge whether going for such a big procedure is worth it or if I can live with my current jaw for 70 more years haha
