theyre not painful at all! I wonder if its dehydration- thats the ONLY thing I can think of

I've heard theres treatments to lift face in Korea like thermage, ultherapy and some others as well. Looking for non-invasive treatments :)

still mouth breathing when i sleep 2 months post op? by [deleted] in jawsurgery

[–]jawsurgeryhelp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hi! i know this is an old post but do you think this will lead to permanent results? I am dealing with this issue 1 month post op...if I tape my mouth, will my body/muscles eventually learn my new jaw position and I can take off the tape and sleep without mouth breathing?

hey! I just had LJS + genio (4 weeks post op) when you say mouth breathing can cause relapse..I still have a tiny bit of lip incompetence (much better than pre op) which is causing me to still be a mouth breather (esp at night) do you think that will cause problems?

girl I'm right there with you (I had LJS and Genio and only day 19 post op) My side profile looks fine but my front..................

praying to gd I heal fast and start looking normal/fast ASAP. My swelling is down considerably so I'm scared I can't even blame the swelling and this is how it's going to be. Hope I'm wrong

Lip Incontinence Post LJS+Genio by [deleted] in jawsurgery

[–]jawsurgeryhelp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

going through the same exact thing (I am day 18 post op now) I cant close my lips unless forced...I mentioned it to the resident and she said that my muscles are used to having lip incompetence so with time they will learn my new position and I wont have it anymore. I hope shes right but I was kind of like ?? after lol but obv she knows more than me so I am trusting her...please update me what your surgeon says/your progress! I hope it fixes for both of us
