Do you show more lower teeth when talking after the surgery? Has the ability to close your lips change at all?

What was the mm size of your airway?  I wish Gunson still did that 3D analysis to see the change with jaw surgery, etc.. He didn't take a panoramic shot when I consulted with him. His reasoning for bimax also was as robust as a house of cards.

Nope - same/normal amount as before.

Yes ability to close lips has changed for the better. Resting lips are also closer together. Lower lip hangs less.

Very very happy!

No idea. He did a 3d analysis but it was so long ago i don't remember. Honestly don't think there was a difference in my airway after the SG.

Thanks!

No residual numbness. I would say that it feels a little tight sometimes - primarily in the morning after drinking alcohol the night before. Like puffy face in general. No numbness that I know of. I would say i am 9.5/10 back to normal in terms of feeling. There is something very very slightly different vs. what i remember from before. Hope that helps!

I have passive residual numbness near the mentolabial fold but I can't say that it bothers me that much. barely notice it.

just remembered I had it reading this post actually...then it creeped me out lol
