Re: Two Month Post op of Upper Jaw Surgery

[Guest guest]

,

I had upper jaw surgery three months ago and noticed a huge change in

my face. My face is shorter and rounder than before. Before it was

long and thin and no cheek bones hardly. When I first went back to

work people thought I had cheek implants. And a few people have said

my eyes are more noticable. Hope this helps. By the way I totally

love my new look, it just takes some time seeing a different face

everyday.
