Guest guest Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 Hi ! Good job for going through with the surgery. I am 3 weeks post op (upper jaw advancement and lower jaw brought back). I still have swelling, which I think is quite a bit but not so much that people stare. I went back to work today and everyone kept telling me they thought I would look way worse than I did. One guy (22) had surgery the same day as me and by day 9 95% of his swelling was gone. I hear that guys often don't swell as much as girls - something to do with muscle tissue in the face. It will come down...just be patient. Cheers, Jen > > hello my name is I had upper jaw surgery last thursday they > basicaly moved my top jaw foward over my bottom jaw and now i have a > permanent retainer wired to my braces. its been about 6 days now > and today is probably the first day that i didnt wake up in pain. i > was just curious if anyone knew exactly how long it will take for > the swelling to go down on my face. im realy excited to see how ill > look with the swelling down.
