Hi, over two months now since my double jaw surgery. My left nostril is wider than my right nostril. Not immediately noticeable, but it shows up more in pictures. Plus when I smile, my right nostril raises higher than my left. Inside my left nostril, the columbella is larger, plus there is some bone...

What a nightmare for you. I hope you get those answers. Apparently my screws came loose after I vomited after the first surgery, but going into the surgery I thought 99% of people vomited.

I see your thread now. Sorry to hear about that, sounds like a stressful journey. Apparently we are in that small % of things going wrong ...how small that actually is I seriously do wonder.

Hi everyone. I am approx 1.5 weeks clear from my first surgery, and 5 days from my second surgery. I had two surgeries within 6 days, as the screws came loose after the first surgery.

Hi, I was hoping somebody could help me out. I was wondering what the process is to try to get jaw surgery on the NHS? I'm in my 20s. I have an underbite (currently made worse by extractions and other orthodontic treatment carried out privately) and have had plans to have the surgery later on privat...
