    Hi Udemes,
    I am a student and need some help with a project. I have to interview a surgical patient. Would you be able to answer some questions for me? I do not need any personal info, just info about your surgery experience.
    Thank you for your time,
    Tiffany

    Kathpoli,
    Could you share a little more about your experience? Where was it done, what did you have done, etc.? I'm having second thoughts about doing this surgery for the very reasons that you mentioned in your previous post.

    hello beautiful !

    Im sorry about your traumatic experience- are you looking to have someone fix/work on your case or are you having a hard time living with the outcome? I have heard the two of the top guys with Jaw Surgery are Arnett/Gunson here in the U.S. - and they mostly do revision cases and difficult cases that other surgeons will not touch- I'd recommend them if your looking for another opinion or help!

    hi Udemes:
    can you tell us how your lips, gums etc healed after the surgery? did you have permanent numbness etc? do you feel your lips completely? i'm having revision surgery in july and i'm concerned about losing feeling in my lips

    Sorry to hear that your surgery went wrong. It's really tough decision to choose a good surgeon, as I realise now. But I got to say, no swelling will hide your beauty - you are really, really beautiful.
    I have the same swelling, but it's "natural", my jaws grew like that. Plus an overbite position of jaws. By the way, do you have any photos before the 1st surgery?
    Best of luck for you.

    So sad, I have 2 have second surgery. I had double surgery 3 month ago back in january 2012 then 6 weeks post op had infection, got the elastic removed and week6-7 my jaw moved and got huge under bite again worse than before surgery. Got to has scan to see what is happening. My surgeon and orthodontic are both awesome so I know I am in good hand. Recovery wasn't too bad just had baby 5 month before surgery and labour is way more difficult than having jaw surgery. Cnt wait 2 have normal bite:-(
