    I think you'll be asked to do that if you look so different. Nobody will think you stole it or smth ;)

    Do you have some documents about the surgery? You should take them with you, just in case.

    i am a student from malaysia, study in russia..i did my operation here in russia..
    Russia is a very strict country with the imegession stuff..sometime when i'm going out this country i need to wait about 30 minute at the imegression gate,they took away the passport i dont know for what(maybe for confirmation).so i always need to check in in advance 1 hour.my surgeon once said i need to do new passport..but i dont get it its a joke or he is serius..Nvm i try to figure it out from him soon.So far my front profile hasnt change that much but the lips..it really different..
    the side profile changed 100%. everyday i compare my daily new picture with my passport picture..:)

    Yeah I went somewhere the other day and they were like you will need a new passport.

    Everyone says I look so different so think I might have to get one.....

    Hi :) if your appearance has changed a considerable amount I would suggest that you get a new passport photo done. I went out on a night out last weekend to a club I have been to numerous times and the doorman there who is always on duty when I have been recognised my friend and let her in , however he didn't 100% believe that my driving licence was mine and ask for more proof, luckily I had my bank card on me otherwise it would have been a trip home for me :)

    Upper jaw advanced by appox 7mm, impacted and rotated slighty on the 19th December 2011.

    shakka_lakka..i think you must look way better that the doormen doubt thats it is you;)

    to stuck at the airport and the airplnane ticket waisted is a horror situation i suppose..
