So unhappy with my double jaw surgery (Before and After photo added)
TMKA:
14 days isn't enough time to tell. It will be several more weeks till all the swelling goes down.
TMKA:
I can't believe he only moved your upper jaw forward 1 mm. Doesn't seem worth it for that little movement.
chinnychinchin:
You've only just hatched @ 14 days. Can I ask if you have thick skin vs. thin skin? For us thick-skinned individuals, swelling can take up to a year to run its course. Even @ 5 months post-op my face and profile are still in a state of flux due to a significant amount of residual swelling.
Swelling can skew everything terribly and evoke regret and misdiagnosis. My jaw looked receded as well during my first first few months (my upper lip was huge). Everyday I would toil and fuss whether I should've been more adamant about going for a larger movement. My advice is to give it time and also bring up your concerns with your surgeon.

Thanks for replying. I've added before and after photos

Hi Thanks for replying. How could I know if I have a thick or thin skin? Still feel that I have swelling on my face, but I'm not sure whether this is the reason that made me super ugly now..
