Guest guest Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 I had my OP in December 2004, i had my top jaw moved forward i am getting diffrent responces from different people some responces our good and some responces are bad when i get a good responce i feel great when i get a bad one i feel depressed. I had treatment for 4 years as i had a bad atruding lower jaw. They moved my top jaw forward 10mm. It took a good six months before the swelling came down but still seemed quite swallon on one side. I went back to my OD and he suggeted i went back in and have the plates and screws removed (6 altogether). I had the plates removed in july this year 8 weeks on after the romoval of plates and i still feel I am swallen around the cheek area. My face seems to become swallen when I laugh alot or drink alchol or being in a smokey environement. I am 32 now and really need to deal with the way I am looking now, has anyone got any suggestions on how i can deal with the swelling and with the sometimes rude comments. I must add my appearance has changed alot when I laugh. Please give me some advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
