upper/genio surgery

[Guest guest]

I am planning to have upper and genio done in November. I am a

little worried about the posts I'm reading about the nose changing.

I have wanted this surgery done for 15 years and now that I'm

getting closer, I'm becoming more and more skeptical. I am not

horrified at the way I look now, but there is always room for

improvement. I definately need a chin and my smile is very gummy

and I grind my teeth at night and I have headaches and my jaw

muscles hurt from clinching my jaw, so I think I definately need the

surgery, but my husband does not think I need the surgery and he of

course is also worried about how different I will look.

Recovery of course is another topic. I have been reading on this

site for about a month and noticed a majority of the people have

lower jaw surgery in conjunction with upper or genio or both. I was

wondering if upper jaw surgery is a quicker recovery than lower jaw

or about the same.

I am planning on taking about 2 1/2 weeks off of work, should that

be enough time off?

Does anyone have any pictures of their upperjaw surgery with genio

that I could look at?

Thanks in advance for any help you could give me.
