I had this surgery almost 7 years ago, and it completely changed my face for the better. I did however lose all sensation in the right side of my face, from my cheekbone down it's completely numb, lips and chin too. For anyone having this surgery, please understand this happening is very rare, I was just unlucky, and have since adapted to it :)

[@real4everh]

this is common and depending on doctor skills its very hard to cut the bone and soft tissue leaving the nerve intact

[@PokaSorM]

@@ionutlazarescu1710 I can tell my expirence with it but I only am numb under my lip. Kissing and talking isnt an issuie for me. But it is because Im only 50% numb there. And you wont think to much about it after a while. Are you doing both top and bottom?

[@ionutlazarescu1710]

Poka-SorM only bottom. Thanks for the response

[@lightenergyfractoid5675]

I did this operation about a week and a half ago and the swelling is already almost gone, feeling is returning and everything is better. I don't know what people are whining about but if you have bite issues/self esteem/ sleep apnea whatever then just do it. Caveat is make sure you have a good surgeon who's done many of them prior. Don't go to some South Korean chop shop is all.

I'm 45 and half way through treatment . Surgery 2025 xmas. Also found a brain tumour this year and herniated all the discs in my neck. Still carrying on with orthodontist treatment as waiting for this my entire life . Nhs been amazing and said they would only stop treatment if I felt I couldn't cope with the stress of my other health conditions, my ortho is always available to remove braves at a moments notice at neurological request as does cause issues with mris but luckily my tumour is in a place that doesn't really matter if the braces flashes up on the mri . Can't wait for my surgery and praying tumour doesn't grown on next April's scan .❤😊

[@Duckler163]

Pain isn't a reason to back out. If you have trusted surgeons that do good work, get it done. I am 26 and I regret not having it done as a teen, I need to save more money but I will get it done before 30.

[@NicholasWM2044]

Dr Sunil Richardson should watch this video to learn how to avoid nerve damage. He usually cuts the bone completely (separating both sides) along with the nerve and all his patients end up losing sensation in their face and mouth.

hi, essentially for people who have a skeletal Class III malocclusion, BSSO is also employed to retract the lower jaw. So it's really the same procedure, but depending on the starting skeletal relationship, it is either advanced or retracted. Hope this helps= )

[@ReemAymanSamirAhmed]

BSSO used for elongation of mandible to put patient into skeletal class 1 instead of class 2. Need ortho before and after. bone is separated bilaterally pulled forward and teeth are put in proper order. Plates and screws are put and jaw is fixed.

[@NicholasWM2044]

I had this exact surgery in 2003. I guess my surgeon wasn't very careful with those nerves. Lol i lost certain feeling in my face for yeeeeaaars.. but bow 15 years later it has repaired itself. Just a very slow process regaining sensation o n my cheeks... From what I remember, the surgery was extremely difficult. Granted I was only 16 at the time. But, if I coukd go back I would definitely do it all over again. I was doing acting and modeling at the time and already having dominant features, high cheekbones, and a strong jaw. The surgery helped my profile tremendously, giving a much more prominent jawline, and did help my self esteem. Having a dominant nose when your chin is pulled back slightly makes your nose appear muchb larger. Lol I believe the adjustment was only a few millimeters, but it definitely made a vast difference in appearance. Now, to this day at 32 years old I still get a lot of compliments on my features, being compared to certain celebrities like johnny depp, heath ledger, and others that have dominant facial features.

[@olinda013]

Nicholas W.M. Hey! I think i’m going to get this surgery. Do you have any recommendations or tips for the recovery? Is there something that i must know before doing it?

[@NicholasWM2044]

olinda013 Not really, just keep doing what you're doing on researching the surgery. Be aware that every one reacts differently. I had a girl who had the same surgery in the same room and her swelling was soooo much less than mine. My dad was like wtf? My cheeks could be seen from the backside of my head the swelling was so bad. Lol do remember though my surgery was done 15 years ago and I'm sure they've improved like the medical field does with time.. Besides that just ask if you have any questions and I'll try to answer best I can.

[@NicholasWM2044]

olinda013 one more thing, keep in mind the recovery is quite a process.. Ensure drinks become your best friend. Just make sure to keep your protein intake up because it's going to take a while till you can comfortably eat solid foods.

You probably will take painkillers after the operation so you will not feel the pain. It will take 6 - 12 months to fully recover. Just my personal opinion I have no medical experience

[@an_bani]

I had the operation a year ago. Pain was not a problem. I got painkillers in the hospital but decided not to take them after the third day, because I didn't need them. The wirst part was the swelling and not beeing allowed to chew for 6 weeks. As for recovery that's hard to say. It takes around 4 months till you can chew ereything again (that includes real hard things). It takes 2 months for the swelling to be unoticable for strangers, 3 fir people who are close to you, and 4 till you feel like your face is back to normal. Also took me 4 months to get the feeling in my chin back. The screws can be removed after a year. BUT it was all worth it and everyday I'm glad that I did it! I didn't know that my jaw was causing me so much trouble bevor 'till I got it fixed. Chewing and speakin clearly are so much easier now. Plus it looks better It was hard, but I'd do it again without hesitation :)

[@nani7570]

I didn’t feel pain at all probably because they injected some pain meds on my IV but when I get home, I still didn’t take pain meds...the 1st week was just uncomfortable because of the constant drooling, swelling and also I had a sore throat due to the breathig tube that they inserted during the surgery...I was on a no-chew diet for 6 weeks...it took me 3 weeks to gain back full energy...overall, my jaw surgery journey was not that bad...it was worth it ❤️ I’m very confident now and my lisp is totally gone 😊

After the total completion of the procedure, including the post-surgery braces, how well do the teeth line up? If my lower front teeth were directly under my upper front teeth, the other teeth would have to be raised, not just moved laterally. Can that happen? Can gums grow under as well as around, if teeth are coaxed upwards with braces? I looked into this 15 years ago and was told that the teeth would no longer really line up as well - and that I'd have to get my lower back teeth removed (my wisdoms are already gone) in order for the surgeon to have room to work. So my lower jaw would be extended, giving more room, but having teeth removed to do it. That kinda sucks. Also, I was told a permanent retainer would be left in, otherwise the teeth would eventually migrate back - which sounds to me difficult to clean (floss) around. Is that what other folks found?

@@CHEFSHYAM891 Don't recommend that quack. He records his videos and cuts the nerve. A real doctor wouldn't cut the nerve. All his patients end up losing sensation and feeling in their face and mouth forever. But since they're poor people being used to advertise his horrible business, they don't have power to fight him back. Don't be fooled and become paralyzed in the face.

When does the screws come out?

[@XPrincess30]

who was your surgeon??

[@NicholasWM2044]

I had this done in 2003, my screws are also still in. And yes, feels like a small bump on your jaw bone. But you cant see it. Im glad i had it done, but i did suffer from the nerve damage foor years. I used to think certain spots i would never have feeling back. But after 15 years majority of all my feeling is back. I do have tmj, but i was possibly going to have it anyway. One of the reasons for the surgery, besides cosmetic. So maybe my tmj would be a lot worse without the surgery. Anyway, im glad i got it, my jawline is much more prominent as well as my profile being a lot better.

[@NicholasWM2044]

Ruslan Zhao Lol No, and I was actually wondering the same thing when I had it done. But I've never set off a metal detector.

[@NicholasWM2044]

B.T. 333 from my understanding it would be more trouble and impact on the body to go under again, be cut open again, and remove them if they aren't having a negative impact.. the screws over time sort of fuse into the bone. It's like the people that need to have pins or a hip replacement or something. It becomes one with your body. So as long as your body doesn't try to reject the foreign material or it doesn't cause any discomfort then there's no need to risk going under and getting cut into if everything went smoothly.

[@an_bani]

The screws can be removed after a year and it's not a big surgery to remove them, but your face feels numb afterwards
