I’m also curious about the what the surgery did. In the picture you look tired and a little disconnected. But I hope that the swelling and pain decreases sufficiently so that you can have a good holiday.
I was reading the other comments and it fired up my curiousity. I did a bit of google searching and found a jaw surgery web site which started with me saying “Wow!” followed by “Oh, man” and finally “ouch.” I thought I would pass the link along.
Ive have experinced a broken jaw in 2 places ( lower jaw Ive had 3 surgerys in the past 7 months ) Im on going to more surgery on the 28th I have 2 titiam plates and 10 screws ( lower jaw ) the pain is so bad.
What exactly did you have surgerized if you don’t mind me asking? You just look very confused and medicated in the picture, so it’s hard to tell.

Upper jaw and lower chin. Aligned my teeth so I have a stright bite. Lots of breaking of bone and metal plates involved. Yum.
I guess a side benefit of the surgery is that it will shorten your overall time in braces and it has also done things that they couldn’t do.
Where’s the edema? Where’s the bruising? I’ve seen worse when I had a crown done. You must have had some mighty fine nursing care!
Seriously, I hope you are feeling better, J.. I’ll check in with my source later in the week.

Any chance of getting a higher res version of that pic?
Hi Jason,
I have to decide on being submitted to a Lefort I intervention suggested by my dentist. So, I’m now surfing the web…
Can you please submit or send me before/after photos?
Thank you very much
Miguel
