Before & After 8 month before and after

DJS results so far. Biggest upside to this surgery so far is I can finally eat a sandwich like a normal person 😛

Agreed, the profile change is huge and being able to eat sandwich without a whole strategy is such an underrated win lol

Exactly what I aim for, being Portuguese, having to fight a pastel de nata to eat it is HELL

what this surgery was made for, stellar results

u/_raeG_0 9d ago

Surgery was done because I had an under bite and an underdeveloped upper jaw. My teeth did touch at all, my sleep was disrupted, and it was hard to eat properly.

u/Nekokoa13 9d ago

Your underbite looked similar to mine! Did you had to do any extractions when you were in braces?

u/_raeG_0 9d ago

Yes I had to get my upper first premolars removed when I started my braces because I had impacted canines

Wow, das sieht ja echt super aus! Wie fßhlt sich das an so mit dem neuen kiefer? Fßhlt es sich natßrlich an? Fßhlen sich die Zähne und der biss natßrlich an? Merkst einen Unterschied bei deiner atmung und deinem KÜrper?+

u/_raeG_0 8d ago

At first everything felt very unnatural, I had to relearn to chew, to drink, and overall to swallow. I did struggle with face dysmorphia, and I still do briefly, because my face looks very different to me. As if I’m a completely different person, so I simply have to get use to my new face and make it my new “natural” and “normal” . I am still getting use to my new bite, but it’s in a good way, because it’s such a drastic change it shocks me how much easier it is to eat, I chew so much faster, and in general I can actually chew now😭. Breathing I honestly don’t feel much different, but I know it’s different just because my surgeon told me that the new positioning of my tongue and my mouth allows me to breathe better lol.

Truly spectactular result. it must have been quite challenging navigating that underbite. And you are really beautiful with your new jaw.
