    I think you look great your face looks more balanced and your profile is spot on.

    Totally agree. Your profile is very balanced and more refined and elegant than before.

    You look really good, especially for being just 4 weeks out! There is definitely a difference in your profile...more balanced. You are doing great! I'm at 6wks and still see alot of swelling. One day (or week) at a a time!! At 4 weeks I just made it through the worst and just started feeling like myself again. Each day after was an amazing improvement in strength!!!

    Your profile looks A LOT better than before. It's quite astonishing that you're not seeing that, considering how absolutely obvious it is to me :P

    Thank you all so much for your comments. It means a lot to consult with other who's going through the same things. (And thank you also for food- suggestions and for sharing your experiences). I see the difference my self, but since no one of my friends has mentioned it, i was afraid the changes wasn't/weren't(?) for the best. As i said, I'm pleased most of the time, but sometimes I'm just worried.

    As for the before picture I posted, it was taken when i was extremely relaxed. Friends might just never have seen me like that since i always pushed my jaw forward to look better and speak better. Causing headache, teeth ache, sore neck etc. Im so happy I don't need to worry about that anymore. :)

    You actually are showing a beautiful profile in the third picture. Definitely eye catching if I happened to see you randomly on the street.

    Honestly, your profile is greatly improved! And like Rachel said, 4 weeks is way too early to judge the final result. It took 3-4 months for me to start seeing the final result.

    I think Forsure your profile improved! :) the lower chin is out more, both are even now. Looks great! :)) I'm having under bite surgery in July.. Excited and nervous, I've had braces for about 6 months now and hate my profile, but keep telling myself I won't look like this forever... Anyway, there's a change within your jaw, personally I think it looks great! Better then before,

    your swelling will continue to go down until about 8 weeks. Your face post op is definitely an improvement / more attractive. congrats
