Hi guys!
I am new to this forum, really glad it exists!
So...I had my double jaw surgery 5 months ago, main issue is I wanted my lower jaw setback and my upper jaw advanced.. (many surgeons adviced me I needed this in the past).
Eventually I decided to go for a surgeon who gave me a different diagnosis and a different surgery method (I was not 100% sure to trust at that point but he looked soooo confident and sure of his skills that eventually he convinced me). I got both upper and lower jaw advanced, and now I am really not liking the aesthetic results....like not at all.
Anyway, I am not going too much into it now, I maybe will explain this better later on and ask for opinions when I feel it.
I would like to know how people in general are coping with depressive feelings/regrets and disappointment after jaw surgeries. What is done is done, now I just want to find a way to smile again at life and be positive again!
I have always been a positive person in life but now I really don't know how to come out of this, as I feel this is big s**t. I am doing therapy with a psycologist...but I think it would be nice to get more feedbacks from people who are going through the same phase..to know how you guys are coping with it (like sport, travel, family support...etc...anything.)
I just cannot take my mind out of it now and I need to quickly get a job and manage everything in life, instead of spending my days being desperate about this.
I hope we can share some positivity around even though I have seen many of us are going through very difficult time.
I kind of think we got into this situation because of miscommunication from our surgeons...or we were naive or did no ask for too many details and trusted surgeons in a blind way. I am sure that when surgeons are CLEAR about results expectactions those things do not happen...or they have very low chances to happen for some risks that could not be prevented...
Anyway, the rant is over!
Thank you for listening and for any suggestion x
