wow nutz, im having that surgery in a couple months finaly but wow, kinda seems from the videos your lips get fatter after and i already have fat lips which is bad. did you notice a big difference?
i have my final consultation on monday when i get given an operation date...
pls could you tell me how many millimetres did they move your jaw forward and sideways?? And is a chin augumentation the same as a genioplasty??? or whats the difference??? did u have chin surgery? pls can u reply asap as im researching before my clinic consultation this monday in one days time!!!
Thank you so much for posting this video. My surgery is less than a month away, and this video really helped me realize I am doing this for the right reasons. You look great! I know the pain and suffering will be worth it in the end. =]
@KimchiEater1234 I had to do the braces through an orthodontic clinic so yeah, I did have to pay for them. The surgery was free though and the hospital stay.
So the only thing thats attaching your jaws to your head are skrews and knobs? Or does the jaws heal into the skulll and everything becomes one piece again?
You look very nice!!! Did it hurt so much?? I'm from Brasil and I'm doing the same surgery in January 2010, actually, I have a very similar problem...so now I can see that's worth...
OMGOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! U look amazing :) :) :) Congratulations xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
i'm having an operation done sooon because my jaw moves to the side whihc is why I hate having photos taken because of the way it is. Once more, this rele rele rele helped. Well donexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
great videos. thanks for sharing with everyone. my daughters surgery is scheduled for 3/10 at shriners in chicago. this video has given us the opportunity to see what she will "look" like after surgery. brought tears to my eyes. thanks
tell me about it. i have had an over shot jaw all my life n I'm finally getting surgery etc. it's such a relief. some people are so rude......have you seen some of these comments. give the guy a break!
PS to you jerks that know nothing about the surgery. Try sticking your jaw out, and eating a sandwich, or burger. Impossible. I always make a mess so I have to eat with a fork ONLY or I tear my finger foods into bite size pieces. It's embarassing not being able to just eat normally. Not to mention it can affect your speach, can cause headaches, and jaw joint pain and your teeth to wear unevenly. It's not about cosmetic, it's about being normal. Not to mention smiling unabashedly!
agreed, im a little over one week post op and my life has been a living hell. i was lucky to have little swelling (it's almost all gone now) but you feel awful. people say my jaw wasnt that bad and that surgery seems rediculous but they have no clue what fellow patients go through.
You were a cutie before and now youre even better! I dont know about you but I've always been afraid to smile. Watching you smile made me extra excited about my surgery so that I can finally smile and not be ashamed or worry about people starring! Thanks for the video!
I had my surgery a week ago. They had to do the top and bottom. I am soo happy with the results I cant wait for the rest of the swelling to go away though. Depending on how bad your problem is it may be covered by your medical insurance.
Haha, this video makes me smile..I'm having my surgery july 20!! and I'm watching all these vids..it makes me more confident. :))
don't listen to all these ppl saying u looked better b4..I bet you feel WAY better w/o out the headaches caused by the under bite + the discomfort..I know how it is. :) take caree.
seriously the dentists in the uk are totally fucking crap hence "brit teeth" you guys are really lucky to havesuch proffesionals working on your teeth..
Is there a way to fix a underbite with out serious surgery or anyting that casuse serious things? like im not that much of underbite but i am... and i was wondering if i can stop it by putting force to it by pushing my my chin with my hand in lay dow postion will tat work? cuz it feels like its got alot in
For the people saying that there's no difference, there is. Some people, who have never had these issues, think its like shallow or something. Its easy for them to say, because they're not the one's having their physical appearance compared to that of a cavemen. The human race is a shallow species, and ignoring that fact doesn't make it go away.
TheClassicalLiberal speaks truth beyond the words he or she has spoken. For just one moment imagine being singled out from several people for something which you have no control over and have them bully you, telling you, "Woah, look who jumped out of World of Warcraft! Must be the result of cross-breeding.." For those who know of the videogame, and play it, you'll know exactly what I mean; implying that one is a crossbreed of a human and orc. That is not my story, but I am one of those many...
Hey. This is a really good video. I am getting Upper, and lower jaw surgery. And am getting my chin moved forward. I am gettin gnervous as the surgery date nears. But your video reassures me that it will turn out well. =)
i can tell that sucks you didnt ask for somthing like that you were just brought into the world with it all you stuck up ass holes dont give a shit cuz yall are fucks but i know how that shit must feel. yall should go get fucked in the ass thats what your best at.
hey this is cool :D your jaw was not moving forward that much my jaw is way worse. and i will fix it soon. i wonder is this possible that i can get straight to the surgery without wearing braces because i cant wait :( i think my teeth are pretty neat
Why not just be happy with yourself as millions of years of evolution have dictated? I have an underbite where my teeth only fit together properly this way. It allows me to more effeciently chew, and my teeth "lock" together to be nearly equivelant to a mouthguard... will you see me on TV advertising toothpaste, no... but I don't let that keep me from smiling :). You looked fine before, you look fine now... We are all quite beautiful as we are :)
youre stupid like fuck.... theres discomfort like headaches, jaw aches, chewing, and theres more mucus blocking in your nose. health reasons are involved. omg...
People i got the surgery done. and i ll tell you there is Zero pain involved. the only thing you ll have to suffer through i the discomfort. Thats all. But really no pain. I had the surgery 2 years ago, and sadly that was only part1, part2 is in 3 weeks. haha. So have fun and start a new life looking hotter.
I just had this surgery about 10 days ago and I will second the fact that there is ZERO pain. The only thing that bugs me right now is the non-chew diet... i.e. liquids/soups.
I still have another 5 weeks till I can eat solids. I can't wait to see the final result. I am very glad I had this surgery done. I can finally smile and feel good about myself :)
hahaha. awesome. yahh the non-chew diet is a piss off for sure. I craved hard food soooo much after my first surgery. But lucky I was able to eat solids within 2 weeks only. I am getting a second jaw surgery in 19 days. I think i got addicted to jaw surgeries haha. I post a video at some point. Make sure you do too.
i agree, i had mine 9 days ago, and there is no pain involved, just alot of discomfort, and yeah the hardest part isn't the surgery at all, the worst part is craving for a burger afterwards :]
This video encourages me a lot! I really hate my underbite, and I'm wearing braces. I may have a surgery in 6 months or so, and I hope that I can have a satisfactory result like yours. You know, this means a lot to me, and your smile in the last minutes of the video also tells me a lot. That is not just a surgery, that is starting a new life. Wish you all the best! Thanks for the video. I hope I can smile like you soon.
i've watched all your videos and i gotta admit it's an amazing transformation : )
i've gotta long time to wait which is like 2 years lol! i just can't wait 2 have it. your videos are gr8 and am glad that people have started to put these videos on here
whoa!i cant believe it cost that much!i live in ireland and my braces cost 4,000 euros, surgery(which im having n april)1,000 and i had to get my wisdom teeth out - 750. I know it would be more in dollars...but still...did you have to stay over night in the hospital?I was told this is a one hour procedure and i can go home when its done.
Ok people.. for everyone who is wondering about the costs associated with the orthognathic surgery let me break down the maximum possible costs associated w/ the surgery.
very moving and inspirational. you look great! do you have any permanent numbness? i'm getting my surgery this summer and im a little nervous! i hope my results are as good as yours!
Came out great buddy. My girlfriend is thinking about getting the surgery too. The video helped, so thanks. By the way, whats the name of that song? Its a great song.
Hello Joe, My name is José, from Guadalajara, México, I pased through a similar surgery, (Lefort I). I´m very pleasured with the results. I went back to work 4 weeks later and some friends could´t recognize me. Congratulations.
the average cost of this surgery without insurance is 16k and most insurances feel that this is a cosmetic procedure it is very hard to get them to approve it and the healing process takes about 6 months with alot of weight loss and strugle
my surgeon estimated about $60K for lower jaw surgery. are you sure $16K?? That seems kinda low. Including hospital ER, upper and lower jaw surgery would total about $90K from my surgeon. Either I'm getting ripped off, or there's a price discrepancy.
Congrats dude!!Hey Joe my name is Jamal Boykin and I'm a basketball player at UC Berkeley. I have a serious underbite and I want to get this surgery after my season, do you think it will have an effect on my ability to compete in athletics after the first five months?
Hahahahahaha, you looked like John Travolta towards the end.
I'm having my double jaw surgery done in one month.(2nd of Oct)
You look AWESOME. I think you look absolutely wonderful, and it's well worth it. *fingers crossed* It was strange, but my surgeon said I can go back to contact sports after just 3 months.
Well I'm 16 and seeing as I'm a girl, I've basically stopped growing. Hope my smile can one day look as excellent as yours.
thats awsome man, im sure thats the best feeling to get that over with, i have to get the same thing, but i have to wait till im done growing. was it the same for you? how old were you when you had the surgery?
Hi. I just did an upper n lower jaw surgery. it has been 7 days and it's still very painful especially in the night. I can't bear with the pain. BTW, the chipmunk swelling would reside and would we be able to regain our face shape again? I mean does this surgery change the face shape? How do u deal with the pain? are there anything we can do to reduce the pain? Thanks for your time to answer my doubts :)
Hey, I just wanted to thank you for these videos. They actually prepared both my family and myself for the surgery, which I have in 18 days. I'm going to shriners for my surgery && have all the same doctors as you did. I'm scared and very nervous, but your video helped calm the nerves a little. Your results turned out amazing && I hope mine turn out just the same!!
It has like only just hit me that im gonna go through that! Im having both my top and bottom jaws sorting out as i have an open bite. So yeah watching ur videos have really helped me to know whats gonna be happening very soon. Cheers.
I'm having my surgery this summer and i was wondering how long does it take for the swelling to fully recover and was it painful DURING the surgery. I know this is a stupid question but was the needle that they injected in you to make you fall asleep very effective?
I would say 3 to 4 months for all the swelling to go down if you get top and bottom jaw done.Yes I fell asleep very quickly and I don't remeber anything until a couple hours after the sugery was done.
Awh wow you have a nice smile, i want to have this surgery done as i have an underbite, and it hurts when i eat and makes me feel self concious, im just worried about the pain lol, but im sure its worth it.
Thanks for the videos. I will have to get the jaw surgery in the near future (after my mouth is healed from the wisdom teeth extraction and after I get braces). My lower jaw also sticks out, too. Hopefully, it's not a double jaw surgery.
It hurts and I was really disorriented when I woke up. I can't compare the pain with anything I have ever had happen to me. But trust me, after you are healed up, everything you go through will be worth it, by the final result. Just make sure to keep your head up and focus on the end of the tunnel and you will recover more quickly.
I waited about three months until resuming strenuous excercise, but I got double jaw surgery. If you only get upper or lower jaw surgery I would say a month to a month and a half.
I wanted you to know I am posting your video on facebook, myspace and a blog. Why? I am doing my final senior project at the University of Missouri, and my client is Shriners Hospitals-Chicago.
Do you think you could check out our blog and other groups? (See below) We would be grateful if you could post a little about your experience on the sites. It would really show everyone how important our cause is! Thanks!
hey joe, i'm glad u were able to get through it. I am thinking about going through the process as well. But some people have said that insurance doesn't cover the procedure. Did it for you? How much was the cost of the entire thing?
I did this procedure through Shriners Hospital which was absolutely free, from plane tickets to the surgery all free. You have to be younger than 18 years of age to appl for it though.
when your doctor makes the first claim it'll probably be denied because they see this surgery as only cosmetic. your doctor and yourself may have to make several appeals to explain the medical necessity. it might take some phone calls and letter writings, but they should provide coverage. my claim was first denied, but they are now going to cover it.

the average cost of this surgery without insurance is 16k and most insurances feel that this is a cosmetic procedure it is very hard to get them to approve it and the healing process takes about 6 months with alot of weight loss and strugle
chrisshark 4 years ago
my surgeon estimated about $60K for lower jaw surgery. are you sure $16K?? That seems kinda low. Including hospital ER, upper and lower jaw surgery would total about $90K from my surgeon. Either I'm getting ripped off, or there's a price discrepancy.

my quote was for 10k, probably a little higher now, 60k?
that's a rip off

I'm having my double jaw surgery done in one month.(2nd of Oct)
You look AWESOME. I think you look absolutely wonderful, and it's well worth it. *fingers crossed* It was strange, but my surgeon said I can go back to contact sports after just 3 months.
Well I'm 16 and seeing as I'm a girl, I've basically stopped growing. Hope my smile can one day look as excellent as yours.
Peace be with you and have a great life.

Hi. I just did an upper n lower jaw surgery. it has been 7 days and it's still very painful especially in the night. I can't bear with the pain. BTW, the chipmunk swelling would reside and would we be able to regain our face shape again? I mean does this surgery change the face shape? How do u deal with the pain? are there anything we can do to reduce the pain? Thanks for your time to answer my doubts :)
wwy1284 4 years ago
Hey, I just wanted to thank you for these videos. They actually prepared both my family and myself for the surgery, which I have in 18 days. I'm going to shriners for my surgery && have all the same doctors as you did. I'm scared and very nervous, but your video helped calm the nerves a little. Your results turned out amazing && I hope mine turn out just the same!!

ellam88 4 years ago
I'm having my surgery this summer and i was wondering how long does it take for the swelling to fully recover and was it painful DURING the surgery. I know this is a stupid question but was the needle that they injected in you to make you fall asleep very effective?
Aznkiller69 4 years ago
I would say 3 to 4 months for all the swelling to go down if you get top and bottom jaw done.Yes I fell asleep very quickly and I don't remeber anything until a couple hours after the sugery was done.

Dont worry about the pain cause it might not hurt because before i had the surgery done i was scared that it would hurt alot and it didnt even hurt.

silversheep1234 4 years ago
Thanks for the videos. I will have to get the jaw surgery in the near future (after my mouth is healed from the wisdom teeth extraction and after I get braces). My lower jaw also sticks out, too. Hopefully, it's not a double jaw surgery.

Hello Joe,
I´am looking for do this surgery but I am very shocked with those proceduries.
How bad does it HURT? Do you first wake up with pain? what can you compare the pain with.
Thanks
canadarafa 4 years ago
It hurts and I was really disorriented when I woke up. I can't compare the pain with anything I have ever had happen to me. But trust me, after you are healed up, everything you go through will be worth it, by the final result. Just make sure to keep your head up and focus on the end of the tunnel and you will recover more quickly.

Just wondering...how long after surgery before you could resume weight training/strenuous exercise? Thanks

I waited about three months until resuming strenuous excercise, but I got double jaw surgery. If you only get upper or lower jaw surgery I would say a month to a month and a half.

I wanted you to know I am posting your video on facebook, myspace and a blog. Why? I am doing my final senior project at the University of Missouri, and my client is Shriners Hospitals-Chicago.
Do you think you could check out our blog and other groups? (See below) We would be grateful if you could post a little about your experience on the sites. It would really show everyone how important our cause is! Thanks!

hey joe, i'm glad u were able to get through it. I am thinking about going through the process as well. But some people have said that insurance doesn't cover the procedure. Did it for you? How much was the cost of the entire thing?

I did this procedure through Shriners Hospital which was absolutely free, from plane tickets to the surgery all free. You have to be younger than 18 years of age to appl for it though.
Joeanglesey 4 years ago

when your doctor makes the first claim it'll probably be denied because they see this surgery as only cosmetic. your doctor and yourself may have to make several appeals to explain the medical necessity. it might take some phone calls and letter writings, but they should provide coverage. my claim was first denied, but they are now going to cover it.
tglass6105 4 years ago
Kaiser Permanente covers it most of the time. I heard Blue Cross will cover it but you really have to beg and plead/work the system.
