Do you have any photos of your lower jaw? I had a problem with my condyles as well and my right side of the jaw was lower than the left. I can't imagine that a genioplasty would have helped my appearance (or the discomfort from my bite), but I would have to see your individual case to say for sure w...

I had a very long, thin face with sunken cheeks before having surgery. I had Le Fort and BSSO though so I'm not sure I can help you with just the genioplasty... the Le Fort pulled my upper jaw forward so I do have round cheeks now and the BSSO made the lower third of my face shorter which balanced o...

I went on vacation three weeks post-op and it wasn't bad at all. I was on soft food at that point so I had no problem getting pancakes for breakfast and pastas and fish for dinner & lunch. My energy was fairly good at that point too. The only thing that makes me wary about your situation is that you...

I echo everyone elses' sentiments: do whatever your surgeon says is okay. I was on soft chew (pastas, fish, pancakes, etc) on day 10 but I've seen people on here who haven't been put on soft food diet until six weeks. It all depends on what you've had done and how your surgeon does things. My nerve ...

I'm not sure of all of the "lingo" but I can give you my experience with elastics (I had a one piece Le Fort and BSSO): Two weeks of light elastics (rectangular shape, connecting canines to the tooth next to them and then down) Two weeks of medium elastics in a parallelogram shape (canines to the to...
