Guest guest Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 I am guessing you're not regreting it. I was going to have upper and lower but when the surgeon did my composite drawing. He said it brought my chin up enough that I won't need my lower jaw advanced.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 I didn't have much numbness from the surgery - I was only a little numb on the left corner of my chin, and it's pretty much gone now. It still feels a little strange, but it's definately not numb anymore. I'm not regretting it one bit. ~Jen > > > > > > > > > > > > > > I am 8 wks post-op upper and genio.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 Thanks for your reply. I am getting a little nervous as the day approaches, but over all I am just ready for it to be over.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 No problem! I know how you feel! I was really nervous right up to the surgery. I dealt with my nerves by eating everything I could possibly want to eat until the surgery day came, I put on a few pounds in the last couple weeks, but they came right back off after the surgery. ~Jen > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > I am 8 wks post-op upper and genio.
