Guest guest Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 hey all... i am 7 months post-op from upper and lower. while i am very happy with the overall results (my bite is perfect, my chin is smaller, etc) there are certain things about my face that i don't like. i mean, i realized that he changed my bone structure and so, of course, i am going to look different. but i have heard people say that they could notice their face changing even up to a year afterwards. my problem is that i feel like my cheeks are still pudgy looking, almost still swollen. is it possible that i could still have some residual swelling 7 mos. later? i've always had a roundish face, but i just feel like its too much now. (and its not a weight issue b/c i am at my ideal weight for my body type and height). input, anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
