The End!

This last July I finally completed more than a year of surgeries, braces and blagh! here's a quick timeline (and just to be clear all this was done for medically necessary reasons!)


April 2011 - Learned I needed jaw surgery to have a healthy and proper bite and nasal surgery to prep myself to actually be able to breathe.

June 2011- Braces

September 2011 -  Nasal Surgery...that didn't work

December 2011 - Double Jaw surgery...bam

Feb 2012 - Back to chewing food

May 2012 - Second Nasal surgery

July 2012 - Tada!

Now for the sake of people who LOVE before and afters...as I totally do. I thought they helped me most to mentally prepare for two major surgeries that would change the look of my face.

Here is a head shot before and after. Now remember, these were my best shots. The best pictures I had of me.

And Some Afters

Here are some before Non-Smiling ones: Here is where I see the biggest difference

And After

Crazy, right? Now that I sit here and look at it it's amazing how much more proportionate my face looks. before the surgery I hated my nose and now after jaw surgery and an actual straight nose that is breathable I am soooo glad I did this. Not only does it look good but it is functional!. I can finally chew food normal and my bite is healthy and perfect.
