So nice to hear from you! I think you look a bit different, but then, how much more lovely can one woman get? :) You're beautiful from the inside out, and it just radiates. The surgery is just the cherry on top. :)
katylake212 Awww you are so kind!! Thank you so much!! You just made my whole day 😍
I had upper and bottom done when I was 25. I'm 57 now and dont regret one moment of it. But I went through hell when it was over with. But it change my life so much❤❤❤
Great job documenting your surgery experiences. This was an appropriate demonstration of what is to expect ahead, as I will have a similar surgery later on this year. And may I say, the structure of your lower jaw / bite definitely looks more defined and "correct" now. Looks great!
RobTi Thank you!! Good luck with yours!! It's soooo worth it!!
I had jaw surgery at 15 yrs old, they broke my lower jaw in 3 places and upper in 2. I lost some feeling in my chin, and still have to this day 43 yrs old now.
I'm getting surgery tomorrow I'm like very emotional right now
Rico Rosaura I was there to hun! Try to relax and get a good nights rest! Just think that this time tomorrow it'll be over and then you just get to chill and recover. It'll be worth it in the end and just keep telling yourself that when you upset. Make sure you drink A LOT of water get a lot of nutrition in so you can heal quickly! Also try to keep your mouth clean. Rinse after drinking anything expect water and start brushing as soon as you can. I'll be thinking of you tomorrow!! Please let me know how you are!!
Jaclyn Rae thanks I will 😃🎆♥☺
Rico Rosaura Good luck today!!!
Jaclyn, your videos have helped me so much. I started my surgery process in 2016. I dont remember when I first found your videos but I recognized the hospital back then and had found out you saw Dr. Meara and thats who I was with. It reassured me I was in good hands. Fun fact I am also with alpine and rafetto! Haha such a great team. I am now 2 weeks post-op hanging in there on my no chew diet. I just wanted to say thank you so much for sharing your experience! Before leaving the hospital Dr. Meara mentioned someone had blended pizza and i mumbled I KNOW HER! Hahaha
Dawn Vitalo haha that’s so awesome! They are such an amazing team and I truly miss seeing them. They were such a big part of my life for so long. I’m so happy you loved them too! Dr. Meats is so kind and I love how he takes his time with you and Dr. Rafetto was so funny!!
You look great!!! yes please do more on your tips and things it will help me so much and im sure others as they stumble upon it too! How were you able to take pills? Thats something ive been worried about because being rubberbanded shut and swollen im not sure how i could get somethin to the back of my throat. I think the little bit of depression is normal for this surgery cause you have to get used to how you look, i know im deffinately worried about how i will look after. Thanks for sharing!
Dawn Vitalo Hey girl!! Pills were a little bit of a struggle at first but then you learn how to do it. I would put the pill as far back as I could get it then use the syringe and squirt a lot of water in and swallow quickly lol Even though you're banned shit you can still open your mouth wide enough to take pills and use a syringe to eat/drink.
I had the exact same surgery but in 1989. The doctor back then ran wire through my cheek bones and attached each wire to my braces.
I to had a nerve cut. You definitely get used to it.
I had my mouth wired shut for 6 weeks. But was a great way for me to lose weight lol.
Jonathan Jones That sounds crazy! I'm getting some feeling back where the nerve was cut but he said it'll never be normal. I unfortunately gained weight because all I ate were potato based foods 😂 but just started back at the gym this week!
Jaclyn Rae yep lost weight due to the liquid diet.
The nerve issue was identical to yours and the exact same area. I have the sensation of I can feel pressure in the area, not hot or cold.
But considering the surgery is very evasive, it is definitely very minor issue.
Now my swelling right after was very severe.
I would recommend it to anyone who is having doubts.
Jonathan Jones I was only on a liquid diet for a week. I can feel hot/cold in some areas and some areas I feel nothing. I would still definitely do it again and recommend it. Just want these braces off!!
Jaclyn Rae when I had it done, it was the second time in my life having braces on.
Giving away my age now, I was 19 in 1989 when I had the surgery.
You will definitely continue to get those feelings of burning and stinging until the nerve reconnects permanently.
Like the doctor said it can take up to a year. my numbness was spread out to the whole side of my face.
Hey Jonathan Jones
How is your jaw after all these years ? Did you get your nerve feeling back? And do you have any side effects?
Wow girl, good job going through this. You are braver than a lot of people.
Thank you so much for your updates I had to have this surgery not by choice and it's been a little hard finding information on it so thank you!
You look so amazing! I totally understand what you mean about feeling an itch. I always get it on the side that I'm numb and get frustrated when scratching won't do it's justice
Evelyn Martinez I knowwww!! Haha I finally getting feeling back this week in the side that was severed and it's sooooo intense!! Non- stop tingling but I'm not complaining because it's a miracle I'm feeling anything at all!
Love that blush nude hoodie 😍 glad your surgery went well!
+Peshku Thanks girl!!! I think I linked the hoodie down below....lol
The trigeminal nerve. Wish mind was severed. I suffer from a debilitating disease called tregiminal neuralgia
Omg!! We seriously went through the same experience. I had my surgery December 27. I had an underbite and a cross bite. They thought I had to have. both jaw worked on but I only had the lower done. I also had a genioplasty. But they didn't cut into the outside of my face. They only worked from the inside. I also healed very quickly. They gave me keflex as an antibiotic. I hardly ate or drank the first week and because of it the antibiotic made me very sick and crampy but that was the only nausea I had. The nerve in the right side of my face was severed as well and I can't feel the same parts that you can't feel. But I recently found out that I will need to have another surgery. The right side became infected because the screws came loose and so my body is rejecting the metal. It turns out I clench my teeth at night! It's so crazy that we have such similar stories.
Delaney I clench too!!! The gave me muscle relaxers to help. I've gotten a lot of feeling back on the side that was severed so I'm really happy. It sucks you gotta get another surgery!!
I'm goin to have my jaw sergery done as i have overbite and my ortho said if i'll do jaw sergery , i dont need to have braces for log as it will work 3-4 times better then normally it does. I''m so nervous, but ya thanks to your videos that i got to know somuch
So happy your back you look phenomenal! ❤️
Angela Marie Thank you momma!!
Can you tell a big difference before and after surgery? I am a month after surgery now. Still swollen and very sore. They only did the top. For me I had some difficulty. Keep In touch!
Whoa, I literally have had the same experience. I am 2 weeks post op. Had lower jaw surgery and my left side nerve was severed and they repaired it. Glad to hear you got feeling back! I’m still super numb. When did you start to get some feeling back?
I started noticing tingles and zing feelings around 6 weeks but it took almost a full year before I got it all back.
You look great. Thank God you are doing well. God willing you will get feeling back in your jaw*;0)
Veronica Rocha Thank you so much!!! I have faith it'll come back!!
Jaclyn Rae ♡⛪😊
Veronica Rocha Soooooo I got feeling back in both sides!!!!!!!!
Jaclyn Rae Yay thank God*;0)
Did the nerve heal? Are you feeling any pain now a few years later? Thanks!
I had upper and lower jaw surgery chin brought forward and the roof of my mouth widened. It took a full year for me to heal. How are you feeling now?
Glad you are doing so well! Congrats on 4k
Thank you so much! I'm jumping up and down right now!! Lol
When you're wired shut, how do you throw up? I'm getting this surgery soon and I'm terrified.
wow, my orthodontist recommends this surgery but I'm still considering it, not eating properly for 2 months would be hell for me
Brian A You make it work.... I started eating solid food the second week but no chewing. So anything I could mush with my tongue or that I blended. I still not allowed to chew so I'm getting creative lol
Jaclyn Rae one month and still not allowed to chew 😥😥😥 Goodluck
thanks for sharing ur story..i just did genioplasty 4 days ago and gettin anxiety about not feeling my lower teeth and so much numbess, did you notice numbing with your teeth and speaking funny ?
When you were incubated did they have to do it through your nose since it was jaw surgery?
Oh you answered my question. Lol.
Christine C haha yea and it sucked!!
Jaclyn Rae I had emergency surgery almost three years ago for a problem. Both times they went through the nose. I don't recall any sore throat but I was in ICU a few days so I might of just forgot. I know the second one I didn't. But your right it's a long surgery. I have been told that my first implant surgery will be all day.
hi!
my husband had his surgery almost 2 months ago and he's at that stage where he's starting to eat again, but he is lacking some motivation to eat cuz his mouth can't feel the same sensation. did you have that problems around 2 months? Maybe its because idk how he feel exactly but I thought maybe the more he practice eating food, it will eventually increase his appetite and increase mobility in his jaw.
So where is the before after photos from your side profile?
wooow!!! really beautiful!! what a change!!! you look very natural 😊
estefania Ricalde Thank you so much hon 😊
You look awesome, girl! xo
Anyelle Carvalho 😘💋
Your jaw looks amazing!! Your face is very evened out.
I can hear the difference and I'm glad that it was a success
Makayla Poole thank you 😊
no problem love 😁
Will you have to have another surgery done or is that all you need
Beautiful result, amazing difference, congrats.
Johnnyice Thank you so much!
You look amazing! I’m supposed to have mandibular advancement surgery in about 5 months and your video and results have really encouraged me and I’m not as scared about getting it done.
Karina Taylor Thank you so much! Trust me I was terrified to get this surgery and almost backed out a few times. It’s understandable to be afraid. Trust me it’ll make you stronger. You’ll be so happy when it’s over! I’ll be a year post op Dec 9th and everything is back to normal! It feels like it takes over your whole life for a while but I promise one day you’ll look back and see it was just a tiny part of your life! Good luck and God bless you and a speedy recovery!
you look great so glad you are healing so fast xx
dvoted4life Thank you babes 😘😘
iheared tat feeling nerve takes time to heal the doc shouldn't hit it during the surgery but it will come back and feel again just eat fresh food daily with some joggging stay strong girl :)
How long did it take you to go back to work? Was the incision inside or outside your mouth? And do you mind talking about the cost and where you got it done?
Chi Chi Kaley I was good to go at 2.5 weeks. I had three major cuts in the inside and two small cut on each side of my face. It was covered by insurance because it was medically needed. I did pay for my braces which were $8k and the genioplasty which was $650.
Jaclyn Rae
Hi, how much does a v-line jaw cost?
when did the swelling went off ??
I just adore you. So glad to see how well it went for you! You look great and I do see more definition in your chin and I'm sure it feels great to have an aligned bite. I never have. The swelling will subside. Try not to be too impatient, and for sure give yourself a break with the emotional stuff. Liquid diet can make ya cranky and mess with normally rational thoughts. Try not to make any big decisions re your looks for a year til it all settles into place as it is gonna stay. The lips I really don't notice one side being lower on the bottom lip. What I see is the right side is upturned more than the left (your rt/lt not mine watching) which may well be as it always was, had never noticed, but most people's are like that so nuthin out of ordinary there. As for looks, you were beautiful either way. As for differences, I see it most in the more pronounced chin area that is less receeded. It also looks like your lips may look a little bigger (never a bad thing imo as a particularly thin lipped person-LOL).
That surgery sounds brutal though. Yikes. Kudos for enduring that! Oh, and Excedrine Migraine stops mine in its tracks, love that stuff! Great to see ya getting back in the groove! We missed ya!
imscanon Thank you so muck!! You're words always make me feel better! The liquid/soft food diet is the hardest lol it does make me more irritable! Everyone keeps telling me my lips are fine. I feel like I've become more critical of my self since surgery and I need to stop.
That's normal. You are scrutinizing every day to see the changes. That will subside once you get used to the new look and the swelling is gone so things aren't changing anymore. It was a success. Just enjoy the joy in that. Maybe make a pizza smoothie. LOL
@@JaclynRaexoxo If you watch your older video you see clear changes.
You're amazing thanks for sharing your story.
Jennie Gregory Thank you!
You look awesome ❤❤!
Sandra Morcos Thanks babes 😘💋
you look amazing❤, I need double jaw surgery and chin surgery. still in the process, I was wondering about how much money did you have to pay with insurance and how does that work if you don't mind? thanks love your videos
Nori Rodriguez I haven't paid anything yet. The genioplasty wasn't covered by insurance so that was about $700 and my braces were $8k. I haven't gotten the bill from the hospital yet..... I'm kinda scared for that lol
I was scared for you too. But happy when you got through it.
Mony Chea Thank you so much!! I actually just saw my surgeon today for my final post-op appointment so I'll be making a video soon
@@JaclynRaexoxo you look beautiful....have you got any numbness there your lips side...pls reply.
How much did your surgery cost? I am deciding on wether or not to do surgery. It costs sooooo much!
Kari Magniez hey!! Mine was covered by my insurance so I payed about $950 out of pocket. Do you have braces yet?
Ya I had to get them removed because they werent effective without jaw surgery
My biggest fear is waking up during surgery and feeling the pain of all the cutting but being paralyzed at the same time
No, That's hyped up.
It can never happen but what can happen is you went to third world country and have surgery with fly by night kind of surgeon and you wake up after the surgery and found yourself being botched
That's what happened to my US friend in india.
I have his case dicumenated in my channel
How did you keep your sugar good with being a type one diabetic and not being able to eat much?
Christine C I have an insulin pump with a continuous glucose monitor so that helped a lot. I was in constant contact with my endocrinologists and she helped manage it closely
Jaclyn Rae That makes sense. I can't imagine if you didn't have a pump how hard that would of been. In your future vlogs it would be interesting to see what you actually ate and drank those first few days. Did you have any special protein drinks? I am a junk food junkie. So it's going to be hard. I don't think I will have as many restrictions as you. They are basicLly getting the bone out then putting spacers in. Then the implants are made and you get them put in a few months down the road. I am nervous about having my jaw wired shut. She said it won't be much different because I can't really open. My mouth now. But I don't have the best teeth so that makes me worried to have it wired. Your videos have helped me a lot.
Christine C I'm so glad my videos are helping you!! I can definitely do a video on what I ate! The only special thing I had was Glucerna protein shakes instead of boost or special K because of the lower sugar/carb count.
I have to get 2 teeth removed than I have to get teeth moved than I have to get jaw surgery . So yea that not going to be fun
did it hurt to throw up after surgery ?
panda beawwwr no it just scared me because I was worried it would mess up my jaw. My throats did hurt afterwards
Were your jaw joints not affected?
That depends on the competence of surgeon. My friend was botched out of double jaw surgery.
He has TMJ issues and malocculsion as a result of the surgery.
He hoped for saving money on jaw surgery for his Chad looks aspirations but his face got buctuchered with series of complications.
He has his surgery in India.
You can have look of him on my channel
You look great!
garyjsimm Thank you!
So why did you have this surgery?
I fell off the monkey bars when I was a child and broke my jaw and they had to fix my bite and where was originally broken
Could you give me a private contact where I could ask some questions regarding to the surgery? I'm going to have the same and I'm freaking out.
you look amazing
Una Ryan Thank you!
Hey did you get your feeling back?
Yes I did!
@@JaclynRaexoxo Woooow that's great!.Do they remove the metal plates after healing or they stay like that forever?
Oh and thanks for replying 😊
They stay in forever unless you have a problem.
that severed nerve is why i am never getting that surgery
chrissy me my self I've gotten all feeling back in both sides. I would still do it again.
@@JaclynRaexoxo That's amazing. I'm post op day 3 with the double jaw surgery, and my numbness is confined to my lower lip and chin.
When I watch her videos about her jaw my jaw feels weird. Idk why
Erika Wiberg 😂😂😂
Jaclyn Rae much love ♡
i like your new look ...
You are beautiful.
Jake Aftermath Thank you so much 😊
You're beautiful
cr500811 Thank you so much!!
Your so Beautiful
Analeese Bell Thank you babe!!
Your welcome
You look gorgeous and you will be able to chew your food properly!😀👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you!! Yes!! I love chewing now 😂
hey im back
Rico Rosaura Yay!! How'd it go?! How are you feeling?!
im like so emotional after surgery, the surgeon said that they took a bone from my leg an put it In my jaw
Jaclyn Rae it went well it took 6 hours to complete I'm very swollen
Rico Rosaura they thought they were going to have to take bone from my hip but they just used cadaver bones. The first week the swelling sucks but you're over the hardest part now!!!
Jaclyn Rae do you mean the pain
Or the doctor just screwed up and refused to admit his screwed up, typical surgeon!
like a real vIP
U look the same... I cant really see any difference. Not even sure what they did..
