Do They Really Know What Their Doing????

November 13, 2005

Hey, I'm 12 weeks post-op and everything was textbook. I had lower

moved back and up, upper moved forward and up. I have had no problems

until now, now that the swelling has almost gone. I, and everyone

else has noticed that I look like I have no top teeth. And now my

upper lip is to close to my nose which makes the top half of my face

look way to short and my chin look even longer. My doctor shaved off

some of my upper bone, he said so I wouldn't have a gummy smile. But

I didn't think I did in the first place. My face was kind of long so

I guess he had to do it also so he could raise my bottome jaw bone

up. The only thing I wanted to have done was my bottom jaw bone moved

back. It was his idea to do the rest so I would look better, and now

I look so much worse. I guess I should have left well enough alone.

People use to tell me I looked like , now I look

like her toothless cousin. When I let my mouth fall open you can't

see my top teeth!!!!!!!! My husband, who by the way did not want me

to have this surgery, said I looked like someone who has taken out

their false teeth and left them out. I'm only 38. What am I going to

do? Does anyone know if this can be corrected? I'm going to call my

doctor Monday and go in and talk with him. What if I have to have

surgery again?!!! I can't believe this is happening!!!! I didn't have

any other problems besides bad headaches, which I still have. So

basicly, I have went through hell to come out looking worse than

before. Sorry for the pitty party, I just thought after wanting this

for 20 years, everything would have turned out like I expected it

would. Thanks for listening. Tonya
