Hello all you fellow orthognathic surgery peeps! I am almost 4 weeks out and I have some questions. I had upper and lower jaw surgery. They broke my upper and made it wider and broke my lower to level it out and reduced my chin aswell. I was banded the 1st day then they broke while i was still in the hospital (stayed 2 nights) and the doctors said that i didnt need them cause i was bitting into the splint just fine. I was put on a liquid/soft food diet and I must say that i followed direction for the 1st 2 weeks cause my recovery was down right painful and miserable. But now, I have managed to eat tons. I make sure that i sont chew the food. I just mush it up on the plastic splint on the roof of my mouth. Do you suppose that is bad? Also, I get these wierd muscle spasms where jaw will get tense and it kinda hurts. Ok, and I also wanted to know if anyone broke out after sugery? My complexion is fairly good on a normal day but now it seems as if I have lots of red bumps on my face and my jaw line. I was wondering if I am the only one. I think that may be it for now.
Brandon, I wanted to thank you for taking all this time out of your life to respond and keep us all posted. Your videos really helped me! I thought to do something similiar but I didnt have the dedication or energy to do a good job. SO thank you!
Crystal
