Hi,you're welcome.Then again, if guess that if you had nonunion, you would experience some inflammation in the chin area,since you're body would still trying to find a way to "protect" the cut.Does it make sense?
I think that given the fact you had two surgery in a short time period, the tightness you experience isn't unusual, although you might want to consult your surgeon if it worries you, just to be reassured.You know, nonunion is rather unlikely, and unless you have some underlying bone issues, I wouldn't be concerned about it.For instance, I am young, but I have do have osteopenia and my bone has already fused back together.
As for the risk of relapse, I think 1 year is safe,although bone remodeling occurs on a very long term basis, and can be unpredictable.But you certainly don't want to stay away from exercising for 3 years or so...So, my advice,don't overthink it.
I can't tell you how much advancement I got exactly, something like 5 mm.I went in for a mild deficiency, so my surgeon didn't want to overdo it, and I trust him.I'm French,living in Paris, and choosing him was a no brainer since he's the go to surgeon for orthognatic surgery in France.He's a great professional and went conservative with me, but I'm a f**king perfectionist and feel I lack something like 3 mm.Maybe I get it wrong,but your overall advancement is close to 12 mm? Are you happy now?
I'm early post op, 5 weeks, but already regained full sensation and had unusually little swelling,so I guess I'm very close to final results.
If curious, I can send you pics in pm.
