Surgery tomorrow..

[Guest guest]

Hi, I'm going in for upper and lower and a possible genioplasty

tomorrow! Still not sure whether to go through with the chin-op. At the

moment, it is not so prominent, and with my lower being moved back a

few millimeters I think it will become less prominent. Who has done a

genio here and why?

I've also got job interviews next week. Do you think the bruising and

swelling will subside in 5 days? Argh!

Good luck for your surgery tomorrow!!

In terms of job interviews I asked the group how long I should factor

in before doing job interviews post-op and they told me at least 10

days ( i am doing only upper and genio). I hate to be pessimistic but

since you are doing upper, lower and possibly genio, don't you think

you're being a bit hasty with the interviewing 5 days post-op? And it

won't be so much the bruising and swelling that I would worry about but

that the fact that you won't be able to speak very clearly and you'll

most likely still be heavily medicated to alleviate the pain. Not

really the best time to prove to a prospective employer that you are

the candidate they want in my opinion. Sorry to put such a downer on it

all! Is there any way that you can move the interviews by at least a

week?

Good luck tomorrow!! I'm sure you'll come out of it looking swell:-)

Don't worry. I am not expecting to go to the interview with a normal

looking face! hehe. Unfortunately, the companies which I have

interviews with have strict scheduling as it is for graduate

recruitment, and I don't think they will allow me to reschedule. I'll

let you know how it goes.

I had upper lower Le Fort 2 piece and 5 days post op I was still

hugely swollen, couldn't talk a bit, and still laying in bed. With

upper and lower I would say the 2nd week would my earliest

recommendation for anything out of the house.

Well, then seeing how determined you are (and trust me they will

feel sorry for you) I'm sure you'll do fine.

use lots of arnica cream, it's great for swelling and bruising. I

used it on my face when i had another operation some years back and

it really helped reduce the bruising and the swelling. Also, ice, ice

is good!

Good luck for both the surgery and the graduate recruitment

interviews. I know exactly how you feel. I'll keep my fingers crossed

for you:-)
