i can't figure out what is not in balance

[aristidine]

yes, jawbone.
and possibly genioplasty, but that isn't certain. i don't have the surgical plans yet. i'll know more in the following weeks.
i am getting a really good vibe from this surgeon, though.
i'll post more about him when i figure more out.

thanks! *waves*

Aris.   I know what it's like to push jaw out to make up for things....No more of that for me thankfully.         I also know what its like to loose self confidence over such things.


Just remember - to the right people you are more than just what is in the mirror.     

I hope all goes well for you.  You seem like a good person.

now you can see what i mean

ugh. super super bummed about this look. i never smile  and i think that makes me come off as unfriendly.

it makes me look like an idiot, no? 

[aristidine]

no, T, i'm in the states. i'll post more about the surgery i'll be getting after i get a few more things figured out. i'm not ready to talk about it yet.

i wish i never had brace. f**ked me up big time, luckly i had no extractions but it lengthened my face. I only had it for 1.5 years.

I know that extractions can lengthen a face, but now do braces lengthen a face?  I've never heard that before.

braces can lengthen the face only if you have an open mouth posture. This isnt scientifically proven, but to me it makes sense.
