Surgery went really well guys :) Well so far that is. Im only numb in my lower lip and my chin, which is good, but im in more pain now. Sucks not being able to move you jaw:/ and everytime I almost fall asleep, I feel like im going to choke lol. I already like the length of my face now and my surgeon did a really good job. Really glad I got him as my surgeon because I had a choice for a couple others.

Congrats man, that's awesome! So glad to hear you're doing well. Can you tell me about your surgery procedure? Who was your doctor? And what procedures did you have done specifically. I'm an old time member of this forum who was away for a while, but I'm back now. If you feel like writing, give me a rehash of what you had done and what your objectives were. Cheers.

Hey there Lazlo, thanks :) 

I basicallyt had surgery to fix my lip incompetence/ gummy smile. My lip incompetence was putting a lot of strain on my facial muscles because I was always trying to close my mouth.  Anyways, I had my maxilla impacted 5mm and advanced 7 mm and my mandible also advanced 7 mm. I went to a more local surgeon in my area (Bay Area, CA) My mom works for Kiaser Permanente, so thankfully my surgery was covered by our insurancr. I am so thankful for her medical coverage!!

The only thing that has been bothering me is sitting. I have some hip pain problems I almost got rid of before surgery bit is still there and I cant stand all this sitting. I walk around and stuff and dont really nap during the day, but my bum has been numb a lot :/

Good to see that you're posting and such.

On day three I was like zombie. I couldn't even motivate myself to watch movies. I slept a lot. When I was awake I would just lay there wishing I could get back to sleep.

So the point is you seem to be doing really well. Keep us updated!

Thanks ticktickatick:) Yea I had a septoplasty and turbinate reduction last summer and recovered very quick. I know this surgery is a lot more intense, but my body handles the recovery pretty well I guess.
