Have a look at Fiddlesticks' Geocities site. There's a list of

FAQs for surgery that may be helpful. Write down what you want to

know, so that you won't forget, and take notes (or take along a tape

recorder and ask permission to use it).

Hi lbarton,

I basically had no chin either, i love my new chin though at the

moment i think it is off center a bit. Imagine that, loving it

still. i was at the OD today and i was laying back in the chair

using a hand held mirror and all i could think was, there's a chin, a

real chin coming away from my neck and face, you know how it is when

you lie back it's even worse!

I had upper, lower and chin, 4 procedures in all. i am 5.5 weeks post

op and NOW can say that i am really, really happy i had it done. i am

still a bit swollen, am numb and my speech is not perfect, nor have i

chewed any food yet in that amount of time, but it is so worth it. i

remember thinking how bummed i was when i could not eat for about 3

days after having 4 wisdom teeth out. i feel like superwoman now!

Be confident, keep reading the posts, ask ANY questions you have, it

really helped me a lot before surgery.

--- Hi -thanks for your advice and I can't wait to be at that

point you are at now!! I'm very excited and nervous at the same time

but I am 33 years old and all of my life I always wondered what it

would be like to have a real chin and NORMAL profile and have my

teeth all meet together! I look at peoples mouths and teeth all the

time and I get almost depressed becuase i hate how my mouth is now-

but I wish you all the luck and if you have any before and after

pictures I WOULD love to see them to kind of get a picture of what I

can possibly expect my normal email is alphaclerk@...

thanks!! best of luck let me know how things progress! and ANY

pointers would be appreciated
