Lower & Genioplasty Oct 22nd

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

My name is Lea and I had lower jaw surgery & genioplasty on Oct 22nd

in Edmonton, Alberta to fix a very open and crooked bite. I just got

back home yesterday and I've been enjoying not having to take the IV

cart with me everywhere I go! Eating is proving to be quite the

challenge, as I'm so swollen up I can barely swallow or close my

huge monster lips. I expected swelling, but this is insane! I don't

even recognize the girl in the mirror (when I can see her through my

swollen eyelids that is!) Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself

and thank you all for the great information that I've found on this

site so far. It's always reassuring to know you're not alone =)

Lea, remember the swelling usually peaks at day three so you're on the

way down now. remember to drink plenty of water as this will help with

the swelling use ice for the next couple of days and take your

antiinflams. I prefer bromelain (pineapple enzyme) cuz it also helps

with bruising, sinus congestion, and mucus breakdown. ps- stop looking

in the mirror so much!!!!!! eric
