    So specifically regarding your jawline veralynn:

    There is a course of action you can take.

    Streo, I really don't want to get implants or injections, which seem to be the majority of procedures on the page. I also don't have any money and am really uneasy about delving into outright cosmetic surgery. Though some of the skeletal pictures of the older women on that page are disturbingly similar to my jawline now... I'll see my surgeon soon and ask about the unevenness, as it wasn't really noticeable until recently, when all my swelling was gone. I think I'll probably just continue onward as before the surgery: hiding my jaw with long hair all the time.

    Hi Streo! Sorry it took me so long to respond, I've sort of been avoiding the forum and thinking too much about my surgery. I'm still sort of disappointed with my results,in comparison to other people's results and my own expectations, but I've accepted that I look better and my teeth are better, which is all that should matter. I get my braces off in two weeks, which I'm hoping will allow me to better see the final results.

    Would you mind posting some pictures? I think you look great in your first picture, and it's possible that your self image is a bit distorted.

    Veralynn can you post some updated pics so we can get a better idea of what is going on. Residual swelling can take awhile to go down, but yeah I know I said it before but you look lovely. Cheer up !
