Im 4,5 weeks post op. I was a great looking girl before my 1st orthodontic (extractions..) my face collapsed when I was 29, got camouflage and spaces back for implants but wasn't happy (my profile was still unbalanced and my front teeth were very much tilted out (like rabbit) looked good en face - profile terrible. So I did 3rd ortho (closed gaps for new teeth before inserting implants) and underwent double jaw surgery (5mm downdraft 5 mm forward and genio(3mm)/genio was a decision of surgeon during surgery. Other dimensions were discussed although I did say I think 5 mm forward is not enough.
Now nearly 5 wks post op I am absolutely devastated. 1. I look like a hamster (hope still due to swelling?) but that is not the worst.. I look completely different ..not like myself anymore (I always had a small face now it seems huge and veery long/male like) theres nothing pretty about me now and whats most distressing is I have no tooth show at rest, little when smiling maybe 40-50% (btw fake smiling cause I look like a clown when trying to smile) I also have very narrow lips (from left to right) (my lip is hanging teeth do not support it
they're to narrow or far back I do not know
. Please share how much of all still has a chance to resolve w time? do I need a revision? (Id rather kill myself and I cannot imagine what that must be to nerves and muscles, I already have one mandibular branch stretch which results in lip unevenness) .. on the other hand, all this effort, pain, money and now I ended up not even having as much as good looking smile? not to mention harmonious face, Im devastated.
( can anyone relate?
