Guest guest Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 For anyone with concerns about pending surgery, rest easy. I had 5 incisions inside the mouth in my 3 hours on the table, and honestly the only pain I've had (nearly 3 months now) was the canula. I had a silicone block inserted years ago, and that had to come out before the genioplasty. I had lower jaw 7mm advance, genio 8mm advance, and cheek implants. Total cost under $12,000AUD in Sydney, excluding theatre and accommodation covered by health fund. I could have left the hospital after 2 days, but I stayed another coz it was free and I was comfy watching the tv in the ceiling. Numbness has mostly faded, and the drooling prob was only temporary when the lips wouldn't close early on. Teeth had the rubber bands for 2 months in the corners of the mouth,and the front bands were on for a couple of weeks. It took just a week before I was stuffing chocolates in my mouth. I felt really good in the recovery ward, and the swelling was gone in a few days. Go for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
