Guest guest Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 I didn't realize until now that I'm 11 months into this process (!) I've been seeing my facial contours changing and realizing how much my jaw has had an impact on how I feel about myself. While I wouldn't have said that my jaw per se affected my self esteem, I knew something was wrong with my appearance, definitely my teeth. It amazes me how much of an all around effect the jaw has on everything: biting, eating, chewing, talking, as well as how attractive I feel. While I know many of us are having surgery for functional reasons, how has this surgery affected how you feel about yourself? If you are pre op, how do you anticipate feeling when you look at yourself in the mirror and see what you've never seen before: everything aligned and healthy? Wow! It blows me away sometimes knowing what I'm about to have done. ~Joanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
