Re: Two Month Post op of Upper Jaw Surgery

[Guest guest]

Hey , yes Im happy with the results, its so crazy to be able

to chew the proper way. Yes my cheek bones look different, and I

think between losing almost 20 lbs. which I didnt need to do, and

getting my upper moved forward, I think it has thinned my face out.

Some people think I look real thin but I guess it really doesnt

matter what people think because the function is there now. Let me

know how your doing and when surgery is scheduled.
