I know it's funny, when I first heard about this surgery nearly 4 years ago I was like whoa, I could NEVER do that...but over time, I'm like, if it gets me to what I need and want then bring it on, no sweat. The only thing I AM still concerned about is the possibility of permanent numbness in my chin or the roof of my mouth of lips. It seems like every single person, maybe 1 in 100 suffers NO numbness, but pretty much everyone has lasting numbness --sorry if I should have posted that comment in like a "side effects" thread or "life after jaw surgery" but I don't know if there is one. CK, do you still have numbness anywhere?
