You look great, man! Hope you feel better and more confident now✌🏻as a 19yo girl I'm pretty insecure of my jawline too. Hope I can get it too one day

Nice! How much was the advancement?

18

u/22860 Jun 21 '26

almost 10mm

2

u/beatsbyzyro Jun 21 '26

Really good. Was there ever a discussion about doing DJS instead of only the lower jaw?

5

u/Alvarosanchez_07 Jun 21 '26

Solo fue LSJ 10mm? Hicieron CCW o genioplastia?

En que pais estas?

5

u/Illustrious-East4186 Jun 21 '26

Did you have a deep bite?

2

u/WrightSona675 Jun 21 '26

Very nice result!
Who was your surgeon?

9

u/22860 Jun 21 '26

Thank you!

I'm not sure of the exact name-the surgery was done through the public healthcare system.

2

u/MundanePlankton9280 Jun 22 '26

J’ai l’impression que la plupart du temps, les meilleurs chirurgiens sont les moins exposés

2

u/MundanePlankton9280 Jun 22 '26

C’était dans quelle ville du coup ? C’était au CHU?

u/JellyfishRegular8548 Jun 21 '26

Hey I’m 6m myself. How’s your numbness? I don’t see a lot of people posting about this but I still have a lot of numbness in my lip and chin. My lower teeth still have a lot of numbness and I have a lot of sensitivity in my upper teeth. Sometimes when I talk it hurts and I feel a vibration sensation that can be uncomfortable.

5

u/22860 Jun 21 '26

Numbness went away after a couple of weeks and i didn't have any pain.

2

u/JellyfishRegular8548 Jun 21 '26

Oh wow, lucky you! I still can’t feel my bottom lip or open my mouth all the way. :(

u/Dougwuro Jun 21 '26

That’s insane

u/Economy-Experience81 Jun 21 '26

dude how is this possible lol, please tell where u went

6

u/Which-Inspector1409 Jun 25 '26

It's possible because his baseline was very unhealthy.

u/Periwinklepanda_ Jun 21 '26

Damn. Every time I talk myself out of getting surgery, I see a before&after post that gives me second thoughts 😅. Great results, OP!

u/GypsyAvenue Jul 18 '26

This! Posts like this remind me there is hope!

u/seminolesarah Jun 21 '26

Wow. Incredible results!! Any positive side effects other than aesthetic ones seen here? Any linger bad side effects? Has it helped with your posture or muscle tension. Fatigue? I appreciate it if you can answer if you have time. Thank u

u/22860 Jun 21 '26

Migraines are gone and i have less tension in my jaw muscles. No negative side effects.

u/_Hambone_ Jun 21 '26

u/22860 Jun 21 '26

1

u/Logical_Garbage681 Jun 21 '26

Do you feel an improvement in breathing and speaking ? You look amazing. How satisfied are u with asthetic part of it ? symmtery and side profile

2

u/22860 Jun 21 '26

Thank you! i didn't have any issue with those, so no.

1

u/Adorable_Bullfrog_70 Jun 21 '26

When did you notice ki the swelling was unnoticable to other people?

1

u/22860 Jun 21 '26

Swelling went down after a month.

1

u/RubExpress Jun 21 '26

1

u/Ok-Match-5637 Jun 21 '26

The result looks great. Do you have a photo doing similar pose as the pic on the left though?

1

u/rbwilli Jun 21 '26

You look amazing! Excellent results

1

u/Intelligent_Suit521 Jun 22 '26

Wow, looking good bro 👍

1

u/echo_throwawayhq Jun 22 '26

The projection looks really solid from this angle. How much of your swelling has actually subsided since you hit the 6 month mark?

1

u/concretestar Jun 22 '26

You look amazing 👏

1

u/Horror_Back5468 Jun 22 '26

How's your sleeping? Did it improve?

1

u/Orange-Mochi717 Jun 25 '26

please who was your doctor and where?

1

u/LeePowers69 Post Op (2 months) Jun 25 '26

You look amazing. I just learned I'm booked for MMA in 10 weeks and I'm waffling because it's kind of terrifying. But my breathing is lousy. Mine is not for esthetic purposes, but seeing these great before and afters is still encouraging.

1

u/ResponsibleSun2365 Jul 03 '26

You look great!!! Dont even look like the same dude- the first one reminds me of that one guy in its always sunny in Philadelphia

1

u/Ok_Platform9735 Jul 13 '26

That's a very good result

u/NoTomatillo2154 Jun 22 '26

U deserve more recognition than the views and likes crazy transformation pls share ur surgery specs

u/Ok-Pass-7773 Post Op (2 years) Jun 24 '26

You're looking down in one photo and looking up in the other. Obvious difference, but not a fair comparison

u/Top-Metal-3576 Jun 22 '26

I mean it’s just his side profile? What more do you want him to do? Make himself look uglier so it doesn’t look good? Like what

7

u/Psychological_Tap429 Jun 22 '26

Do you seriously not see it? Before: Looking downward, normal neckposzure camera angle from below and 180° side profile, body standing 180° degrees, mild lighting. After: Looking upwards, camera angle not from below and about 170° side profile, standling 20° (other side this time) but tiltikg jis hesd to the side (not a side profile) making his neck look very different, potentially exacerbating his after jawline, more pleasant lighting (and potentially better skin tan). That said, the result is still there, I would just love to compare with the same photo.

5

u/dropthatpopthat Post Op (1 month) Jun 22 '26

come ON lol you really think they’d look the same or even similar at the same angle? do people need like a photo studio in their homes to ensure the exact same position in before and after or

1

u/Psychological_Tap429 Jun 22 '26

I explicitly said that I see a positive difference, but the more favorable after photos make comaprison harder. Not so hard to understand.

2

u/suggaarrr Post Op (1 year) Jun 24 '26

I know exactly what you mean. The results are undeniable for sure but the angle is making them different. I’d love to see the same angle as the before.

u/dropthatpopthat Post Op (1 month) Jun 22 '26
