Corrective Jaw Surgery -Underbite-

I just wanted to post some pictures from my experiences before and after jaw surgery. I had to have two surgeries because the screws that were placed in my jaw didn't set correctly the first time.

Feel free to post any questions and I'll respond back asap!

hey man. good question! the surgeon told me that i could participate in physical activity (working out, etc) a month after the surgery. he said by this point the jawbone has fully healed. he did say to be careful when it came to contact sports tho. i know you might take a lot of hits in boxing, so i guess you'd want to ask your surgeon. but to be honest it took 2-3 months until my jaw felt comfortable and strong again. good luck with the surgery my friend

how come you have had 2 surgeries? something went wrong the the first one?

what procedure did they done to you?

@bobbyknight81

hey. the screws that were placed in my jaw didn't set correctly the first time so they had to do a second surgery because my underbite was coming back due to failed hardware. the procedure itself was corrective jaw surgery for an underbite. i also received a chin implant as well.

my partners thinks that getting this surgery is a waiste of time and money, but i feel like it will make me feel better and look better, he said that it doesn't show that much but it a real big bother to me.

hey. sorry it took me forever to respond to you. i've been pretty busy the last few weeks with finals. the surgery has definitely helped improve my self esteem. it also helps me eat better, talk better, and smile better. it feels great to finally feel like you are smiling right if you know what i mean. i highly recommend it. it is truly a life changing thing. :)

@Bankaizensama It's the national health service in the UK which means when you go to the hospital you don't have to pay.

how much does it cost?

you don't look that bad pre-op because you already have a narrow face and an adequately sized skull

I have an underbite, but not very severe. but when you get surgery, do you have to have the screws put in? and.. does it hurt? im scared to get the surgery, but i really want to look normal
