My Daughter's Upper Jaw surgery, advice needed

[Guest guest]

Hello,

My daughter is to have upper jaw surgery (lafort) on August 13th.

He will bring her jaw 4 millimeters forward and down in the back so

her teeth in back touch and her bite is corrected. Says she will only

have rubber bands for 4 days then only 1 on each side for a couple of

weeks.

He has made is sound fairly simple but I cannot think it will

be as easy as he acts. He says that she will have very little

bruising and fairly little pain as this area naturally goes numb.

Says no blowing of the nose and that she will be swollen for up to

6 months. He said it will be more " cheeky swelling " than horrific

swelling. Said she will be able be fine in about a week after her

surgery.

Tell me the truth and what I am to expect. I need to be prepared. He

said that since I do daycare in my home not to watch any children

for 4 days after her surgery.

Help me help my daughter.
