Girl me too! I had double jaw surgery in 2020 and it’s going to be three years this upcoming fall. Many times I don’t have sensation if I have some thing on my chin or bottom lip. For example, if I am eating something messy, I’m not going to know. I have residue on my chin or lip unless someone tells me or I look in the mirror. I did visit my surgeons department recently and they did mention taking biotin or B12 pills within the first several months after surgery may bring back the sensation, but it’s not guaranteed. So for everyone reading this, please make sure to take biotin and B12 pills after surgery because this helps the nerves recover!! Even though this surgery was the most physically and mentally difficult recovery I had to deal with, I don’t regret it, because my life has changed for the better since I had this done.
I've been taking B12 and right now a B complex and I feel like this has been helping. Although sometimes it's like a roller coaster and sometimes I get a weird sensation in my lower right lip. But it's become less and less over time some months ago it was more numb it's almost been a year since my surgery. Hopefully it works but the numbness I would say is like around 1.5-2 percent at times for me now. But goes away. Thank you for that information.
I just got double jaw surgery on Aug 31 of 2023. Literally after the third day, breathing through my nose has never felt so easy. I never knew how much my bite effected my breathing until after the procedure. It’s literally the best feeling in the world and it’s so much easier to sleep with my mouth closed as well since I no longer have to breathe through my mouth!
@@22aku867 it went great! My surgery was a little different as it was to correct a overbite, but still the same process. Recovery during the first week was toughest. My medication would wear off between dosages- so getting through that was the biggest hurdle. I still have braces now, but hopefully I’ll be getting them off soon! & I couldn’t be happier with my smile now! I still have aches and pains occasionally- it usually feels like an ear ache but it’s easily manageable. And just like this video, I still have numbness along my bottom gumline, but it takes up to a year to know if sensation will come back there. Other than that, I’m eating everything again and don’t regret the surgery one bit
@@andrewdavidjames1 great to hear but was it worth it ? And if u went back on time would you do it again since am having one soon i need to know and thank u so much for sharing ur experience
You look beautiful regardless 💐 I am on week 4 post op my double jaw surgery. Interestingly enough, my surgeon told me not to ice my face after I was out of the hospital, because it can compromise the blood flow and proper oxygenation of the healing tissue and as a result slow down or compromise the recovery of the nerves. He tells me icing is only helpful right after the surgery impact, just for the first few days and afterwards he instructed to use heat only to tackle the swelling down. Recently I started feeling my lips, but not the chin yet. But initially I was very confused, because most people on UA-cam who post videos about this type of surgery ice regularly as a part of their daily routine.
Very interesting! I was told to ice frequently to combat swelling and eventually switched to heat. Im wondering if I heat again (1 yr post op) will it aid in nerve regen? That or acupuncture
I would say you have zero swelling at this point, so heat pads would probably be useless, but acupuncture could be helpful. You never know until you try, I am planning on getting a course of acupuncture myself once they unwire my jaws and get the stitches out. I am being wired shut for a whole month 😑 much longer than my fellow UA-camrs 😅 super annoying lol
@@kyyahabdularchivesI looked at your before pictures your face look the same u just had a underbite your teeth are lined up now but your face looks the same
I remember my consultant saying there's a 30% chance during the surgery the nerve ending could get damaged and you lose feeling in your bottom half of your face
Hey girl, you look amazing! It’s awesome that you’re happy and doing so well! I might need to get surgery on my jaw as well because it is growing. I’m very nervous knowing that it’s a possibility for me but knowing that there’s a nice community dealing with similar issues as me, it makes me feel less alone! Thanks girl for sharing your story! You’re so beautiful! ❤😊🎉❤🎉😊
Looking fantastic girl!!! I had double jaw surgery as well. That was in June 1999, so I'm nearly 25yrs post... My face continued to change for about a yr or so after as everything 'settled' in their new position. I didn't get feeling back completely eithee though i was lucky, as its just 1 side of my lower lip & chin. I don't regret having the surgery either! It was the best thing for me, even with all the preparation work beforehand & the issues i had during recovery. I still get a flutter of excitement every single time i bite into an apple!
I just barely got lower jaw surgery. My body for some reason doesn’t react to swelling medication so I have to deal with it full on. I’ve never experienced such horrible swelling like my cheeks inside my mouth are over my teeth and I can barely talk. But my doctor didn’t hit that specific nerve that would take away the feeling in my lip and I didn’t get a numbing medication just morphine that still allows my face to feel everything just not as harshly! ❤
I have to get double jaw surgery and it's scary as hell but the psychological issues of having an underbite do start to get to me. Especially with dating, attractiveness in smiling for photos, but I just want to bite into an apple again lol thanks for sharing this.
You have a great smile. Hope mine turns out like that in the end. By the way I had upper and lower jaw surgery. The surgeon said it would probably take about ten months for the feeling in my face to come back. I said as long as I can eat I’ll be happy.
That's unfortunate but does happen sometimes. Some surgeries are more likely to take away the feeling than others. For my mom, she had a C-section when having my little brother, and she never regained feeling in her lower abdomen. It happens, and it's unfortunate, but it is liveable. I'm sorry you lost feeling in part of your face, I hope that the doctor was wrong and that feeling eventually does come back, even if it's unlikely.
You look great! I don't care if my chin goes numb, but my lips better get feeling back lol. I'm in the process and have to get it by the end of summer.
I had mines done I’m still somewhat numb I’m like 90% there but I was told it can take up too 2 years to get a full sensation back. I get steroid shots once a month and they have helped me alot with the tightening of my teeth. Yes they will feel tight. Not as much tho. But still there I’ll be one year in Nov 18
I feel you 100% mines numb as well, i had mine wired then i had an ulcer and started bleeding inside and started puking blood well my jaws was wired and i was literaly drowning on my blood so they burnt my ulcer and re-wired my jaw and i lost all my feeling on my chin and bottom teeth and it sucks bad i wanna cry i feel like my chin is gigantic
I have lots of issues with my jaw but my doctors told me not to do it due to possible nerve damage but i see how beautiful you look and i get very confused lol. I hope you can gain your sensations, best wishes only
Listen to your doctors but I have to stay my sensation in both my lips started coming back at week two and the chin started coming back about week three. People heal differently!
It’s very possible but it’s about YOU and your standard of living. It’s easy for a doctor to say that when they aren’t going through your issues. Many people get it and are extremely happy and wouldn’t look back.
I’m in the same boat sis. I got a sliding genioplasty back in 2021. This year will make 2 years since the surgery and I still don’t have feeling in my lower chin and my gums either, but it did make my facial structure a lot better.
How long are you through post surgery ? It took a whole 2 years for me to get mine back. I had double bimax surgery and panicked at one point when my numbness didn't go away.
I really thought I had. It’s a yes but also no answer. I can run my tongue along my gums and it feels normal but to touch with my fingers it feels numb. There are spots on my lips and chin that are numb. I would say around 90% of my feeling came back.
If you don't mind me asking you how was your recovery process till 1 month mark and how much changes did you see in 1 month mark after your jaw surgery as I just had my jaw joint replacement surgery done with Lefort and Ginoplasty. And now I am 1 and a half month post op.
I want to do it in Korea when I get some money but I'm not sure, many people say things like you and this makes me scared and I fear that some kind of paralysis will happen to my mouth. I was born with double jow but my parents didn't take any plan to fix this issue and now I'm 26 and I'm thinking of doing it. You can't imagine how much Bullied I got in my whole school life, I become so complicated that I cannot laugh like any person, especially with girls i feel so ugly
I had my surgery a year and a half ago and am still numb in my cheeks it feels. Does anyone else ever deal with tension and if so how do you relieve it?
You look beautiful 😉 I have a question I need a jaw surgery my doctor sent everything to the blue cros blue shield 3 times and they denied everything they told me that I need to appealed the case but at this point I just wanna give up 😔
doctors should properly analyze how much to move your chin depending on the location of your nerves. They overdid it but they did give you a beautiful look sorry about your chin
I'm a 22y/o guy. Double Jaw surgery would fix my face almost completely, as I have jaw issues. However, as a big kisser, I'm so scared of any possible or permanent side effects from it, or dying during surgery. 😢I just want to look normal but I'm so scared that I probably won't even get the surgery.
Go for it. I had my jaw surgery in 2020, and my smile looks far better than it ever did, and that term “dying in surgery” trust me. You’ll be fine. I was born with cleft lip, and have had 13 surgerys. You have nothing to worry about
Do it!! Idk where you live but usually this surgery is all covered up by insurance so you won’t pay anything. You won’t die lol it’s a very common surgery and it’s 100% safe, it sure can have its complications but that’s like a very low percentage. I’ve had it a month ago and I would 100% do it again, changed my life completely. I’m too happy
@@maanu895 yes, after a month, I still do have numbness on the right part of my lower chin. Right after my surgery I had numbness on my lips and pretty much on my whole mouth but it’s now gone!
@@morty5326 Thanks for your kind encouragement and helpful insight that eased my anxiety. One thing I am worried about is loosening of the teeth on the upper jaw due to the LeFort. I could not live with that 🤮 Did you get this side effect? I'm assuming not because you seem to have had a great experience.
Jaw surgery is necessary for functionals reason and to cure some health conditions like apnea, malocclusion...so before judging get all the informations it like saying don't take paracetamol if you have fever...

would u say its worth it for an edge to edge underbite?

The improvement in your facial proportions is huge. Girl you look great! Does this really improve sinus and breathing problems a lot?
I have the same question as you here. About breathing

how much will it cost? because I get bullied because of my face shape, they tell me that I look like a mango. Please notice me🙁
Same with me since i was young. If its medically necessary, your insurance would approve it (if you live in the US)
