Things I wish I Knew: My Jaw Surgery Journey, 2 years post-op

Hello! Thank you for posting videos about this. I have watched your jawsurgery videos so many times. I’m currently 10 days post upper jaw surgery. I was up and walking and eating soft foods 2 days after surgery, I had full energy back 3 days after surgery. I have also started to chew a little, since my surgeon only told me to use common sense. Not biting off things yet. I am so happy I did this!

[@ghezaalakhandzada6368]

Where did you this surgery

[@dayluna8511]

i have an underbite its only less 15days left till my double jaw surgery. im really scared of anything bad happen but i believe everything will turn out fine. ur video made me feel much better!

[@dayluna8511]

+Natalie H im doing great! the surgery really changed my whole life. i can speak better than before. this surgery improve my self confident and im not shy to show my side profile to anyone anymore. its the best decision that ive ever made. u will be having this surgery too? excuse my english hehe i dont speak english

[@Exen88]

This the most truthful no bs video i seen so far for jaw surgery. Even the surgeon didn’t tell me these stuff during consultation.

[@tpressly2495]

I had maxiofacial surgery 40 years ago. I wore the old fashion full band braces for 2 years prior to correct my bite. My big regret is the amount of root canals I had to get. I urge you to watch the Netflix video "Root cause". My surgery went well, no pain post op, usual swelling. Wired shut 8 weeks. I too have some sinus issues that I think are related to this. Some numbness in lower lip due to 2 chin surgeries to move my chin forward. Also had a nose job to balance my face and correct a deviated septum. This is serious surgery with long term consequences. I wish I was given other options. They moved my top jaw up and bottom jaw forward. Consider all options unless you need this. Life saver if needed.

[@deivisony]

I want this because my bottom jaw teeth doesn't meet with my top ones it is a somewhat behind but it makes so hard for eating and tires me up. I am really skinny and my primary desire is to be able to eat normally. I don't even care if I can't feel all of my face, as long as I can eat and stop being skinny it is fine!

[@matthewmiller9146]

Its a little bit on from the release of this video but sharing your 2-years experience on has some interesting points. I'm only just over 4 weeks post-operation now, and it wasn't voluntary! Had an incident off my bicycle which resulted in: broken upper jaw, right cheek broken, left cheek fractured, right eye-socket broken (just missed optic nerve) and fractured septum (punctured the cerbul fluid sack but healed itself). To quote the maxillofacial surgeons: very, very lucky and a jigsaw puzzle! My teeth are the largest concern and (not being a patient person) seem to be taking the longest to settle. I have a 5 week followup from the surgeon this week and second dental appointment in 2 weeks. I was very lucky in all; six titanium plates (three for the jaw, three for my right eye), 30 screws and talented surgeon later, apart from scars, swelling and brusing, coming back together. My question is: how long did you have braces for when they were fitted? Again, very lucky, my teeth roots did not break but 5 of my top teeth have been pushed significantly over and the mouth is, well, a mess... ugly really! So the journey is just starting, my top lip (like yours) is very tingly and mostly numb still, don't know how long that will last. I sometimes don't know my nose is running until I can taste it (not very attractive!) and the inside of my mouth where the plates are is very sensative. I'm not speaking the best and the cold-cold air plays havoc with the plates in my jaw and the ache a lot. Did you get any of that with your plates? thanks

[@David-no7zi]

I'm considering jaw surgery at the ripe old age of 35....it's amazing to see how much you've changed now just in how you look but more imporantly your confidence in this video vs. just 3 years prior. Well done!

[@IIIlIIIllIl]

Almost no insurance companies will pay for it when you're an old fart like us. Cigna (group plans only - not buying it independently but only with a company) covered the procedure for me for $3,000 (out of pocket maximum) but even with that only 1 surgeon in my large city accepted that insurance too..... Either way, good luck!

[@David-no7zi]

@@IIIlIIIllIl I live in the UK and my overbite is severe enough that I qualify to get it done free on our National Health Service.

[@IIIlIIIllIl]

@@David-no7zi That's some serious contrast to the American system. Our government isn't big on health related social services and that leaves the bill for the insurance companies. The insurance companies don't want the bill either as they are a business trying to maximize profits. Maxillofacial doctors are the 3rd highest paid occupations in our county according to our 2018 census (behind anesthesiologist and surgeons). Consequently, almost all insurance companies consider the operation 'cosmetic' and won't pay for it if you're old (despite underbites inhibiting eating, breathing, and speaking). I'm done with this soap box if someone else wants it.

[@IIIlIIIllIl]

I'm on week 3-4 of post surgery and just lightly blended some devil eggs - would totally suggest this food combo to anyone else looking for food ideas.

[@David-no7zi]

@@IIIlIIIllIl Hey Michael thanks for getting back to me. Good to hear that you're making it through your surgery. I am currently on the fence....I've always hated the way I look and this IS the solution, it's just a significant recovery and I'm not sure if I have the mental strength...I'm also concerned that I won't like my 'new face'. Did you have single or double jaw surgery?

[@aliasalvatore1306]

I don’t wanna lose feeling on my lips 🙀

[@hungvu3963]

The head and upper body posture and tongue position are primordial in order to maintain and add to the results gained through surgery. Look up for "orthotropics". The face muscles play a major role in the way the face looks and behaves and the way the tongue rests in the mouth directly affects these muscles.

[@Vulcrax]

Orthotropics is everything. It is godsend. All hail Lord Mew

[@avafernandez4429]

I love this forum

[@dairallan]

The reason you feel the cold more is you have much larger synuses now, you can breath easier, won't expectorate and will snore less. Not a bad trade off for feeling the cold more.

[@samanthatreto4762]

I have an underbite and crossjaw and have always wanted this surgery, my friend got it and scared me away from getting it cause her experience was horrible. This encouraged me a lot to look more into it. Thank you!

[@itgirlinIT]

I'm 4 months post op, honestly I was half assing it after the first 3 weeks, stayed away from school for 2 months and I was being scolded by my doctor for not eating enough and being active. Luckily my swelling went down by 3 months, I still get cramps in my jaws whenever I'm exhausted (I have a terrible sleeping patterns) but I've also been eating alot while I wasn't allowed to I'm just lucky I didn't get injuries for my lack of care bruhh. One of the cons I have beside the cramps and numbness is my teeth sensitivity, I drink water with a straw all the time. I also want my face to tighten more, as I feel like I have a slight sagging around my nose where my plates were inserted. I'll get my braces off next month!! I'm so happy about that❤❤

[@Farhan-f9n]

[@itgirlinIT]

@@Farhan-f9n I suggest that you look into it where you live or at your desired clinic because I barely had to pay for mine I've also done double jaw surgery to correct my bite and the appearance of my gum, my chin was corrected too as a bonus and I don't even have a v shape jawline as a result but a shape that flatters me!

Hi , just got a bi- jaw surgery 1week ago.. and Im recovering now.. however feel so so weak.. and the liquids just making me hungry and impatient. I love your smile and the prominent change the surgery has brought.

[@PM-JBS2015]

Amanda. Your teeth mouth structure and lips look so natural pretty and amazing. Thanks for all your tips.

[@ladysavsy]

I got my jaw surgery about 1.5 - 2 years ago and I also have some numbness on my top left upper lip as well. This is definitely reassuring that someone else has the same complications as me, but I do not regret getting the surgery. The recovery was rough but the outcome is more than I can ask for. Thanks for sharing this video!! :D

[@ladysavsy]

@disciplined kid yes it was worth it for me 😀 I didn't have a severe under bit, but it was to correct my bit for sure since ny previous orthodontist didn't want to go through with surgery since he flared out my top teeth to fit over my bottom and I was not happy. I don't remember how much it cost, sorry!

[@ladysavsy]

@disciplined kid I'd say do whatever makes you happy. If you feel like its a issue that stays in the back of your head and makes you feel insecure. Go for it. But keep in mind of possible complications and sometimes the surgery won't fix your issue. Im really happy with my results! Just do more research into it because i wish i was better prepared for it going into it. Good luck!

[@visionvixxen]

I love that you said you take way too many selfies. I hate selfies and I hate photos and I have to do all these crazy things like suck my cheeks in and stick my front slip out and then I feel like oh I look normal and I’m not even a person who really cares about these things, but at the end of the dayapparently matters a little bit and I just wish I could’ve had this done earlier. I wish I could’ve had it done this year, but everyone wants to disown me so I’m kind of stuck.

[@RagsToNiches]

Amanda, so amazed looking at your videos. I've been so worried watching other peoples videos!! :/ I am having double jaw surgery and a "chin job," with it - for an overbite and "gummy" smile. I have two kids and am in my 30's, so it's a big deal that I've waited ages for. I'm a runner and into fitness etc... so, I was really pleased to hear about this shakeology thing, I am definitely going to take your advice on that. Anyway, I have been so encouraged by your positive attitude and seeing you post op after just 5 weeks - was just amazing. I think I'll be having the surgery in a few months :)

Hey rusty - I should be due to have the surgery in a couple of months. I go through phases of feeling totally terrified and freaked out - to just being more resigned with it and wanting to get it over with. For the most part, people who have continued to have some numbness have generally got totally used to it and don't even notice it eventually, so I wouldn't worry about that. For me, I'm just concerned with the whole recovery in general and how that will be - and just the thought of the actual Op itself. Do you have any idea when you'll be due to have it?

[@gretZooify]

I need this operation also. Thanks for tips, very useful. Your smile is great!

[@kjnazari4734]

Hey did you ever get your surgery?

[@seanwallace2615]

Lots of things to watch out for in jaw surgery...The lose skin from shortening of the jaw may make you appear older...the numbness in the nose, teeth and cheek area will last a year or more..clamps to hold the jaw down sometimes are left in the jaw for a second surgery or if you don't mind a foreign object planted in your jaw for the remaining of your life then it's cool..the crease in the inside cheek of you mouth is permanent..sinus hole, when putting your jaw back together may appear smaller and harder to breath, and than they would have to readjust again..Most importantly the roof of your mouth is made higher, so when mouth is closed and tongue is relaxing there is so much space and air between the tongue and roof of your mouth...Good Luck! hope I helped so you will know what type of question to ask before surgery or other alternatives.

I had lower jaw surgery to correct my underbite 30 years ago, no regrets, no issues. My 17 ye old daughter is scheduled to have upper and lower jaw surgery to correct her underbite and cross bite and I am literally freaking out about the impact to the sinus cavity from having the upper jaw surgery. I am thinking of just having her do the lower jaw only even though this will not correct her underbite, at least it will lessen it? After watching the videos of upper jaw surgery, seems everyone is left with some impact to their sinus cavity and some residual nerve damage. Even our surgeon admitted that he has had 14 patients return with ENT doctors to revise the upper jaw in order to get some sinus relief...and one video I watched left me in tears as the young beautiful girl was left with nerve damage so severe that she could not smile on one side of her face and her jaw was more crooked after the surgery than beforehand. I am desperate for someone to talk to, at this point I just want to have her braces removed and leave things as they are since she her upper teeth are straight and she has a beautiful smile, no jaw pain, no sinus issues. I just don’t see how correcting her bite is worth the risks of sinus cavity impacted and nerve damage. It will be her decision to make as she will be of age at time if surgery but as a mom, I am seriously freaking out. Please help!

This is the part that FREAKS me OUT!! Like, what does it feel like? How do they do it? What does it feel like when they put the stuff in, like do you get sleepy or is more like wide awake to instantly out? Could you have stayed awake if you would have tried or is it impossible? Haha. Basically whatever you remember about that part would be helpful. Thanks so much!

[@mistertomlinson]

xcalabur18 I haven’t had this surgery, but when I got my wisdom teeth removed, they knocked me out. I too was scared most of that part, but it’s fantastic. I don’t even remember falling asleep. The gave me laughing gas first to help with anxiety, which just made me feel strange. It’s hard to explain how it felt, but they could have just skipped it and gone straight to sedating me. One minute I’m talking to the nurses and surgeon and all of a sudden, they’re waking me up. I had NO RECOLLECTION of the time that had passed. It’s not like when you sleep and you wake up with the perception that time has passed... you just wake up without knowing you had ever gone to sleep. It was easily the most bizarre experience of my life. Don’t be scared of it. Embrace it.

+Jasslove nava give it up to 6 months; nerve endings may take longer to regenerate. Give your body that time to heal! :)

[@jasslovenava7680]

okay thank you I will, hopefully I get all my feeling back I herd there's a chance it can be permanent. When did you get to bite down on sold food like a apple?

Hey I've not even got my braces yet for jaw surgery but am just starting the process (beginning with having a few teeth removed!)...could you give advice on the nutrition plan please? (Couldnt get on to your website!) I'll have to go back to work asap after the surgery (I'll rest about 3 weeks first though) and so bruising is the last thing I need!

[@Not_Experience]

Hi thanks for video where did u do ur surgery??

[@bettemaisel-white]

I am also in the beginning of stages and trying to figure out insurance and who to go for for the surgery. I found a specialist for braces but the surgron he would prefer I go to is like 80k and barely covered by any insurance. My other option I was thinking was to get braces now, get kaiser in 6 months, then have the surgery covered by Kaiser. What kind of insurance did you have? Thank you for making this video, much appreciated.

[@amandaplazek]

Hi Bette! Please refer to one of my newest videos: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGaVd3WiiZJ7a7c I discuss insurance in this video ^. I had insurance through my workplace, and my surgeon was in-network.

[@christianacain2756]

How can we get a hold of this girl..I have a jaw surgery in 5 days and I'd love to speak with her

[@Rilranglong]

Mam how can we communicate

[@visionvixxen]

Oh no!! Runny nose is not easy!

[@jakec5618]

hi thanks for sharing. helpful info, do u know any good resources that i can use to read and learn more about jaw surgery. i have an open bite and have been putting off the surgery for a while now. but started thinking about it more cause chewing with an open bite sucks !!!!

[@Me-by8qi]

I have been thinking of doing this, but I'm probably not going to do this. I don't want nerve damage, and I do ice baths in the ocean every winter.

[@Vulcrax]

Look up Orthotropics (Mewing). It is godsend.

[@khidrjami]

I’m reading about orthotropic it works well with children but what about adults ?

[@angelasheremeta4462]

i have a big under bite and im so scared to take the surgery

[@oscarthagrouch]

so it never fully heals?? even after years??

[@mayaw9922]

I was supposed to get this surgery, but I don't think I can get this surgery as its a little to much for me, I'm going to be getting veneers to align the bite instead thanks for your videos! 🎉🌸

[@soft_threads]

Well I too had a jaw surgery of the left side done and the pain that I use to experience before my surgery is better but still the right side of my jaw pains and hurts a lot well my surgeon said that it is fine and I don't need the surgery of the right side but still my jaw hurts a lot while I eat and night.

[@jasminesmith3893]

Thanks for sharing. But I want to know if you have any side affects such as lisp and pronounce.

[@MUALeiahRene]

My 14 year old was referred to an oral surgeon for jaw surgery. I would love to get in touch with you about your full experience.

[@tampatv2407]

What insurance company typically Covers the surgery ? How much does it Close on average?

[@SirMarblesYT]

If you give a good enough reason such as poor quality of life because of a messed up jaw they will do it. Read your insurance plan. The surgery ranges from $20-40k

[@jimmcfarlin3116]

I would love to talk to you. I have severe sleep apnea and chronic fatigue and I am considering MMA surgery for sleep apnea. I am so afraid of being disfigured orI heard one person say she drools.

[@alyssaburns7249]

I'm going to have my double jaw surgery next week on the 19th of December, I'm really scared about how much pain I will endure. What did you do the day before your surgery, were you super nervous? Also how long did you have to deal with the pain during recovery? Thanks

[@alyssaburns7249]

[@loveforroads902]

i had my jaw surgery 10 days ago...it is very difficult to speak now... i have lisp speech and difficult to speak some words properly...will it be normal or not? pls reply

[@nani7570]

Do you have a splint in your mouth? or are you wired/banded shut at this moment? If yes, then that’s the reason that you have a lisp...I had the surgery 7 weeks ago and let me tell you that I had a major lisp after the surgery because of the surgical splint that they put it on my upper jaw, but after they took it, I can talk normally now 😊...By the way, I had a lisp before surgery and it is totally gone now after doing the jaw surgery 😊😊

[@luisaspahiu3149]

No

[@loveforroads902]

Nan thnku dear and i have swollen gums too...is it because of splint? will it be normal after splint removal?
