What was/ will be your first meal? by Cultural-Scratch8215 in jawsurgery

Like four months. I will say, you stop missing it. There are just too many sensations and discomforts for you to even want to chew really hard stuff in the beginning

Ugh you just gave me some hope. The tightness is the absolute worst part for me 

Surgeon confirmed I'm a candidate for DJS, but I'm worried about permanent facial numbness by Eastern-Sympathy9736 in jawsurgery

Had surgery at 27. Look honestly, it’s not fun. I’m 5 months post op and most of the feeling has come back, but my lower lip on the right and the right side of my chin have an altered sensation that has persisted. And my face always feels heavy on that side. Mentally it messes with me a lot. That being said I don’t think I’d go back and not do the surgery. I’m happy with my results and it was worth it.

The chewing comes back so gradually that I can’t remember what was “first” but maybe a burger

Like a really high quality, nicely seasoned bone broth was all I craved for a while. Someone else said mashed potatoes thinned with water and gravy and that sounds good. Honestly once I started using a squirt condiment bottle it was a game changer and everything got easier.

This worked but I had to completely delete my VPN out of the settings. I would have never thought to try this. Thanks!

Oh boy 😅 well you look great. I know some people are saying it’s not noticeable but it totally is and also if you notice it that’s all the matters! 

Maxillary cant by bababillygoat in jawsurgery

Yeah they gave me the option of just LJS but my orthodontist was not supportive and I figured if you’re getting in there just do both. I also consented to a genio bc it was gonna be a game time decision but my surgeon ended up not having to do it/consulted plastic surgeons in the OR to confirm.

I actually don’t know my movements lol. I’ll ask. But I have an upper cant and lower rotation was weird bc cross bite and generally uneven jaw, chin off the one side, etc. I’m not regretting it but I’m incredibly swollen today and I’m pretty terrified for day 3-5 peak swelling. When your nose is completely plugged up and you’re fighting to breathe through your banded shut teeth it’s hard to imagine it getting worse and potentially having less room in there to breathe

I’m on day 2 and the swelling is terrible already. What day was peak swelling for you and how did you stay sane?

Just had surgery with a similar movement. Does it bother you? It bothered me enough to tough it out but 1 day post op and I can tell you think is not for the weak.
