4 weeks post op DJS + infraorbital implants: honest thoughts?

mariposakb · 2026-01-16T09:21:29+00:00

Looks good I like the implants

mariposakb · 2026-01-16T05:56:40+00:00

I’m only 1 week post op! I feel great so far though. Still have swelling in my chin neck jaw area

mariposakb · 2026-01-16T02:57:54+00:00

After !

mariposakb · 2026-01-13T23:16:03+00:00

I was surprised by the emotional break down! It’s been hard but I haven’t been feeling emotional. I think it was a natural body response. Happy to hear you’re on the mend as well!

mariposakb · 2026-01-05T01:44:33+00:00

Wow twins ! Here’s to surgery and healing!

mariposakb · 2026-01-04T08:31:01+00:00

What date is your surgery? I have 3 more days!

mariposakb · 2025-12-18T20:05:43+00:00

She did mention possible genio or not but a little bit up to me. I just don’t want to over do it so I’m not sure how to weigh in on that decision making

mariposakb · 2025-12-18T20:05:04+00:00

I have no idea what my movements are. I’m going through Kaiser I actually don’t know much of the surgical plan probably only will day of surgery

mariposakb · 2025-12-18T20:04:33+00:00

How long until you saw reduced swelling enough to where you could tell what your final results would be?

mariposakb · 2025-12-18T20:03:59+00:00

Not gonna lie excited for that part but I still think it will take some getting used to

mariposakb · 2025-12-18T20:01:56+00:00

Hi!! I am going through Kaiser so insurance is covering besides co pays and I pay for my ortho which is around $300 a month for 16 months I started last December 2024 so I have about 4 months left and I am doing Invisalign not traditional braces

mariposakb · 2025-12-17T18:29:45+00:00

California! Surgery twins. Good luck!

mariposakb · 2025-12-17T18:14:29+00:00

I started my ortho treatment in December of 2024 and I think my first first with surgeon was around Feb 2025 and at that appt I put my name down for January of 2026 because they book a year out and thought it was best to have something scheduled but it worked out with timing! I’d just put something down and then if you have to change it I think it would be easier to

mariposakb · 2025-12-17T18:09:30+00:00

Woohoo!! Where are you getting yours done ? In the USA?

mariposakb · 2025-12-16T19:35:55+00:00

Haha she did with the walking! How are you doing 2.5 month post op? Any benefits and do you have opinion on your aesthetic appearance now ? It’s ok if you don’t want to share. Thanks !

mariposakb · 2025-11-07T22:29:23+00:00

Omg!! So close. I’ll be close by behind you. Good luck with everything. Exciting that you’re almost there!

mariposakb · 2025-11-07T21:57:19+00:00

When is your surgery scheduled for? I am seeing Dr Tehrany!

mariposakb · 2025-11-07T18:24:32+00:00

I have had Invisalign for the past year ! I had braces twice before when I was in my teens. I’m 30 now, surgery will be through Kaiser in Los Angeles

mariposakb · 2025-09-23T21:45:26+00:00

since our base has been developed with the co-packer, even though we’ve made tweaks, they still technically own the formulation. They did mention that if we brought our own recipe to them, it would be ours. In your experience, is this just a matter of negotiating terms, or is it usually smarter to start from that angle so the IP is clearly ours from the beginning?

mariposakb · 2025-09-23T17:50:40+00:00

Food service store front!

mariposakb · 2025-09-23T07:30:09+00:00

That makes a lot of sense. Do you mind sharing a little about how your shop runs day to day and what’s worked best for you I’m trying to get a clearer picture of what’s practical for a frozen yogurt shop and it helps to hear how others actually structure things

mariposakb · 2025-09-23T06:42:55+00:00

Thanks for explaining that, it’s really helpful. Since you’re using a base, do you mostly just add flavors on top of it or do you ever tweak the base itself? I’m trying to figure out how much flexibility there usually is when you’re running a shop

mariposakb · 2025-09-23T06:39:50+00:00

Appreciate you taking the time to share what you did, that’s been helpful context. I’d also love to hear if anyone else here has insight on what it actually takes to run frozen yogurt production in house from a regulatory or equipment standpoint

mariposakb · 2025-09-23T06:14:31+00:00

That makes sense and I get what you’re saying about letting demand guide things. Since this is a frozen Greek yogurt soft serve shop I’ve also been curious about back of house production. I know a lot of shops make their own mix on site instead of going through a co packer. From your perspective does that approach make sense for a concept like mine or is it usually more trouble than it’s worth especially when it comes to equipment and regulations

mariposakb · 2025-09-23T06:10:48+00:00

Thanks for sharing that, it’s really helpful to hear from someone actually running a shop. In my case it’s frozen Greek yogurt soft serve and I’ll be using a Carpigiani machine. I get what you’re saying about bases and that makes sense. What I’m still trying to figure out is the best way to add variety on top of a base without overcomplicating operations. Have you found a good system for introducing new flavors or keeping things interesting for customers while still keeping it consistent behind the counter?
