Guest guest Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 Hi Mindy, Just curious ... who did your surgery? You're from MN, correct? I will be having the exact same procedures (Le Forte I, and BSSO) in about a year. Anyhow, I checked out your photos, and I think they look great! Overall, are you happy with the results? It looks like your nose changed a little bit even (in a good way) ... probably from the upper jaw surgery? Anyhow, best of luck on the rest of your healing ... I think it turned out great ... I wouldn't worry about getting the genio. I have been contemplating the same thing.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 Hi I had VanSurksum in St. Cloud. I am definitely glad I did this. I still have swelling yet and not back to my normal diet. The nose part was an added bonus! I really didn't know that my nose would do that. I read it happened to some people, but I didn't think it would happen to me! Maybe in a year I will get the genio cuz my lips really don't meet yet when I am relaxed. He said that they would it I would get it done. I guess it would give me a perfect profile!
