Guest guest Posted October 10, 2004 Report Share Posted October 10, 2004 Mindy, your pre and post look similar to mine! I have a gummy smile and my post smile looks a lot like your. I think it looks great and from what i can see from the photos, your chin looks awesome. In regards to DW's question regarding steak, i still have a hard time with it, i am 3.5 months post op, tough meats are the worst (pork chops, etc. Pork tenderloin on the other hand! yuym) You look like you are healing really well. were you in on the conversation regarding the noses? the pre and post also look like mine! > > Hi everyone, > On Tuesday I will be 8 weeks post op and I finally posted some > photos.

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2004 Report Share Posted October 10, 2004 I am actually still on a soft chew diet. Today I had some of those new cheese curds at A & W and they weren't very easy to chew. I thought they would! My joints and muscles started to hurt. I see my surgeon on Thurs. and maybe he will tell me I can start going back to normal. Before I was eating soups blended now I just eat the soup like normal. I had upper vertically shortened and widened and lower advanced. Or a leforte 1 two piece and BSSO (I think that's the technical term!). I am glad I had this surgery done and the recovery was hard but it's still worth it! And I know it will keep on getting better!
