hi guys! Heres a random video of me chatting about my latest orthodontist appointment after double jaw surgery as well as a few before and after clips. This has honestly been the worst experience for me- I'm so embarrassed of my face now. As silly as it sounds, this surgery has impacted me so much both physically and mentally- I am so unhappy with the results and I rarely ever take my mask off (I was so excited before and thought I would be SO confident after lol).
All of my doctors are aware of my concerns and how disappointed I am with my jaw surgery results. I feel bad and it's hard for me to be vocal but I think its important to be honest w your doctors if you're unhappy and thats what i've been doing every time we've spoken post op.
I never planned on sharing if something were wrong, but at this point they say everything is good so I'll just share my perspective/reality with you all in hopes someone can relate. I honestly don't know if I'm overreacting, if there's something I'm missing or what, but I'm going to make a video about my full experience and share everything to get your perspectives (I am so upset and there's SO much I want to share with you guys after my last post op appointment because it's still all so insane to me).
I hope nobody else has to go through what I have these past 9 months. I'm not denying that there was a positive change (my profile did improve), but I do think there were negative changes as well. I by no means want to be negative, I'm just sharing what I'm dealing with. At this point nothing is going to change but I think it will make me feel better if I share about my experience.
***my phones out of storage so these were all separate snapchat videos in my car lol so ignore the fact they're inverted.

Hi Rach I definitely understand what you’re going through because the same thing happened to me I hate looking at myself in the mirror I even had another double jaw surgery 2 years later it helped a lot but I still don’t recognize myself when I pass a mirror I get everything you’ve said and feel about your surgery and I we both have to just live with the changes in our appurtenances you are still very beautiful no matter what….

@EllaArmstrong25 Год назад

I’m going through something similar. It is hell on earth and honestly I hate when ppl try to say they don’t notice, that you’re making a big deal about it. It’s so invalidating. I don’t think these other comments telling her that it’s not a problem are helpful.

@rebeccavicinanza9236 5 месяцев назад

Would love to hear an update❤ Have you gotten used to your new smile yet? I think you profile looks more beautiful after operation. After the operation your maxilla (upper jaw) looks more developed (Just like supermodels have) and your lower eyelids look fuller and more beautiful. Do you see these as perks?

@jlaskoj 3 года назад

Before surgery, I bet you never thought about the nose alignment with the middle of your teeth or face. I hear everything you are saying, as a father, I take what my daughter says and feels with empathy. But here goes, what you hear from everyone -------> Believe me, you look awesome! Your smile is awesome! No one has perfect symmetry even if someone can tell its a micrometer off, if it even is. Your are your own worst enemy on this case, you are too hard on yourself and have buyers remorse, unnecessarily. You can double for Cameron Diaz (actress) with your new look! You are very brave to have this procedure. You seem to have avoided all the potential medical complications and that is a big plus. Your older self will thank you, the medical benefits that you don't talk about will keep you healthy into a ripe old age - and that will contribute to your happiness!! Get over your dissatisfaction quickly and enjoy your health and new looks! Its that easy!

I'm starting all the process to do my ortognatic surgery and I have been watching your videos the last few days, they are really helpful. You were beautiful before the surgery and still is, but I can totally see what you mean about your nose and smile and I agree, there's something off. Maybe you should see a new surgeon to hear another opinion, I doubt the one that did your surgery is going to agree that something went wrong. I hope everything ends well. 🥰 Sometimes I think doctors keep saying "it's just swelling honey, it will go away" to make the patient shut up and accept the poor results (not saying it's your case).

Heyy Rach I've been following since you started your journey because we had the surgery at the same time and coincidentally we had the same issues. I don't like my smile and my nose too because they are a little bit off an my face looks so asymmetrical but i had a much worse bite than your's . My surgeon said I was a hard case and this is the best they could do. I was upset but now I'm starting to accept it and live with it. But trust me other persons doesn't see us in details as we do so we don't have to be as rough to ourselves. You look beautiful and I hope you start loving your smile and your face xoxo

Looking at the pictures the after is much much better and much less asymmetrical than the before. In picture, in still. However I do agree with you that your face in motion looks like something is off.. not completely harmonious.. when you talk, the way the mouth moves. I am still trying to pinpoint what exactly it is. As quite some time has gone by since you posted any new videos.. are there any further updates? Do you feel more comfortable now that you had some time to get used to the changes in your face? Lots of love!

@brucedonnelly5209 3 года назад

i see when you move your nose to be lined up with your glabella, your whole set of teeth look shifted. I heard you say in another video, the maxilla and mandible are moved as one, and so the surgeon said it was only an orthodontic problem. But you're literally saying the whole complex is shifted over. I see what you see. It's not disrespectful for you to be concerned about your results. You're in a super vulnerable position. Also, it's not wrong or narcissistic to be concerned with one's own appearance. I'm sure you're glad your teeth close properly now, but you also deserve an aesthetic result your pleased with.

I’m so happy I found this and your positive attitude. I’ve been dealing with a botched double jaw surgery for 8 months now as well. It’s so painful these doctors make so much money to alter our faces and don’t even give transparent answers about the possible outcomes. I felt blind folded through the entire thing and then I was just suppose to love the results or then what ? I also found my surgeon has a god complex that his work is superior which has made it impossible for him to validate any of my concerns. Hope we can heal emotionally from this experience. Thanks for opening up ❤

I think that’s crazy u went through all of this and now they are telling u to get veneers to fix ur smile ... that totally doesn’t add up. I’m just curious have you ever considered getting a consult with another surgeon to see what they say about your midline and bite being slightly off?

@ck1939 3 года назад

Sorry you are going through this. I just got DJS two weeks ago. I too ended up with a crooked nose and my midline is slightly off. What my surgeon said was because my upper jaw was pushed back they shortened my septum but because the breathing tube was in my nose, it was difficult to see exactly how much of the septum to remove. So now that my swelling is going down my surgeon scheduled me for septum revision in a month to remove a bit more so my nose isn’t scrunched, which’s why it’s crooked. My midline will be corrected with behind the teeth braces. Invisalign was not an option. Septum revision is included in my treatment plan. I wonder if the same is causing your nose to be crooked.

I see this is an older video so I hope you have it all figured out! ❤

@maarjameriste-kivi Год назад

Get a second opinion. Something is def up with your nose and your jaw moves differently when you speak when compared to before. As far as mouth movements and speech maybe that was expected as your whole mouth was rearranged. Just get a second opinion. You are still beautiful ❤ regardless. The doctors should take you seriously.

I have a naturally asymmetrical face and I totally feel you gurl. My nose and lips don't line up with my smile as well. (In fact my mouth looks almost exactly like yours when smiling) Also, I thought your orthodontist initially said that they could fix it with invisalign? Why are they suggesting veneers now? I still think you look so much better than before the surgery though! And please don't feel bad about complaining here! I'm so grateful that you shared your negative experience with us. It would suck if all the videos on youtube were positive and didn't reflect the reality of this surgery. Also, do share the different things your doctors said! Lots of us considering jaw surgery would be interested to know.

@IloveCamels335 10 месяцев назад

Jjust commented the same on her other video, the 1 year post OP one. I never had any surgeries but I have a super asymmetrical face naturally . I can relate so well to what she is experiencing. I still did not get used to my face and I had 45 years of time to do so. I did research quite a bit but have not really found anything that could be done as it´s just the whole face, left and right is asymmetric, from eyebrows to cheeks to lower part. And my forehead and nose are in one line and then my teeth and chin are in another line and all looks crooked. It´s kind of nice to see that there are more people out there struggling from this, I always felt like I am the only one. Big hug to everyone with asymmetrical features 🤗

@clmortenson 3 года назад

You are not alone in your struggle to accept your new appear post-jaw surgery. It is probably the most difficult things for people who have that procedure. I have been reading a lot about this, and it is mentioned in all of the serious, medical, non-marketing materials. You have had your old face for 20+ years, and it is no surprise that it is shocking to have a "new" face. Please believe all of those posting that you look BEAUTIFUL!!! Quite a bit like one of the most beautiful women actresses of all time: Jane Seymour. The asymmetry you notice is unremarkable to others, and there are NO truly symmetrical faces. I can't imagine that as you spend more time with this beautiful, functional face that you wont grow to love and accept it. I'm praying for you to get to that place! God bless you! (BTW, I read and watch all of this stuff because I have a beautiful 22 yr old daughter who struggles with this issue...) Thank you for sharing!

Hey Rach! Thank you for showing your journey on here. I saw all of your videos and your before and after photos and I see exactly what you’re talking about. I’m no expert but from what I see it looks like the problem is not your teeth, it’s how they did your surgery. It looks like the upper jaw was placed wrong which makes your nose appear crooked and your smile looks off BUT it is not something braces can fix it looks like surgery will only fix it… 😔

@sweeeetzozy 3 года назад

I know how you feel. I am almost two months post-op and I have mixed feelings. I don’t see anything wrong with your smile honestly. It could be a muscle issue that you still need to train your muscles on the new smile. That being said, your nose is obviously deviated, and that is not uncommon. DJS does change the nose, I’m sure you already know this. Perhaps you had an issue with your nose in the past but the surgery made it more prominent. Why don’t you consult an ENT?

@rachs9326 3 года назад

hope your recovery is going well! if I get the nose aligned with my face then my smile will look even more off lol so idk what to do because it helps to camouflage it rn. my oral surgeon can do an alar base reduction which will just narrow the nose, not straighten it (but it will also leave scars and i’ve heard mixed reviews about it) so i’m still thinking about my options! I should probably consult w an ENT or plastic surgeon like you said.

I had DJS 8 weeks ago. Been following post op stories for 2+ years. Something I found is girls that were pretty before surgery and also young seem to go through what you’re going through. You are not alone. I think the struggle is the face you knew was beautiful has changed and isn’t as perfect as your expectations of what it would be. I acknowledge there is some asymmetry to your smile but it’s what is normal. My doctor warned me ahead of time that most all faces are asymmetrical to begin with and surgery isn’t going to make it all perfect. I encourage you to see a counselor to work through the feelings. You should not be ashamed to smile when you look as gorgeous as you do. Seeing a counselor will help so much and no shame to ask for help. You’re worth the investment!

@TheWrightg 3 года назад

Hi! Finally an update from you! I was following your journey leading up to my jaw surgery which I had in April and am now 2 months post up. Similarly, my nose was off post surgery. However this was due to the tube they had in my nose during surgery which ended up giving me a deviated septum (it was totally to one side not centered which made my face/smile appear slanted) and my surgeon performed a septoplasty 3 weeks after to align my septum with my lip/teeth. I wonder if there is any slight movement of the septum they can perform to help align vs having a more serious nose procedure. The procedure was super easy and made a huge difference. Just wanted to throw it out there as an option to explore. You know your face best but with that being said, honestly, I think your transformation looks great and you look gorgeous!

I’ve gotten plastic surgery on my nose because of a nose break when I was younger and my nose is not perfectly straight especially when looked at from the bottom just like you, trust me that no one notices it but us. I’ve finally decided against the jaw surgery because here is the US they keep the metal in your jaws (unlike EU), its invasive and 6 month’s recovery is long. I’ve decided I’ll stay the way God created me. I honestly think you look better then before, I know it took a while to get used to your new look and accept it. Your smile lines disappeared and your side profile looks much better… hehe I know you’re nose got a little wider but it looks alright really. Anyway it was ramble. Have a blessed day

@May-May-Sue Месяц назад

I can see the mis-alignment I can’t lie and say I don’t see it. Although I strongly believe it’s something that can be fixed if they just own up to their medical mistakes. The doctor shouldn’t just say that your smile is perfect that’s so narcissistic of him. At least he should admit that the jaw reconstruction messed the alignment and now let’s see how we can fix it. I am now scared to even consider a jaw reconstruction. I am sad watching how unhappy you are with the results. I wish I could give you a hug.

Why did you need upper jaw surgery? Couldn't they just fix your bite moving your lower jaw back? I feel like if they didn't touch your upper jaw, your nose issues wouldn't be there. Also, perhaps the screws and plates make your nose wider, there are right in that area. Why would Dr recommend Veneers for such a young person with beautiful teeth???

@emmmli 3 года назад

Hey Rach! I personally think you look great😍 But I do understand where you are coming from and what you are going through. I had double jaw surgery 2 years ago. Right away when I first saw my new smile I felt something was wrong, the midline was off and the whole bottom of my face looked crooked, the midline lined up with my chin but not my nose, if you understand what I mean. Also my upper jaw was tilting on one side. I felt so bad because I’ve struggled with braces and had a really tough surgery only to end up feeling more selfconscious than before, not wanting to smile at all. It doesent matter if people say ”it does’nt show” because you see it yourself. I told my orthodontist and my surgeon about my concerns and where also met with ”no everything is fine, your bite is perfect now” I was also afraid of affending the surgeon with my concerns. But I feelt so strongly that I did’nt want this to be the outcome of this whole thing so I ended up naging him untill he agreed to operate me again, it took over a year. If he would’nt have operated me again my second plan was to contact another surgeon to get a second opinion. And im thinking maybe that is something you can do? Get another, not biased, surgeons opinion on what he/she thinks about the outcome of the surgery. Im sending love and stenght your way and hope you end up feeling happy whatever the outcome❤️

Was your nose off balance before the surgery or was it straight? I notice you tilt your head a bit to the right… I’m pretty sure that habitually can cause the face to grow a little unevenly. I have the same thing, my nose hooks a bit to the right and I tilt my head to the left. I’m working on my posture now, maybe over time the cartilage will swing back around. Ignore this comment if your nose changed after surgery, just adding a new theory to the mix!

Why did you get the surgery without braces?

@biszy8418 3 года назад

I’m not an expect but would braces or retainer be able to correct your teeth centring issue, cause I also have a pretty serve underbite and I got expanders twice and I had braces but I’ll have to get braces again when I get underbite surgery so maybe retainer might help???

@gracelymartinez 2 года назад

I see your smile perfect. The only thing is that your face are still swelled. It takes time (months) to the tissues and muscles to go back to their original position and for the swelling to go down. I had almost the same surgery, and it took time ( almost a year) for my soft tissue to go back to completely normal. But, like you , I went desperate. 😄 Patience, my dear, patience. 💜 By the way, you look younger after the surgery!

Can anyone confirm her real name and confirm if she has passed? I dont think that is true but someone in the comments said she passed. Does anyone know her other socials? Would love an update of how she feels now.

@marioryzhkoffe7868 3 года назад

I had same surgery and whats important - it's all about our HEAD, we simply get used to this one way of smile and face proportion. I had very bad feeling about my face after the surgery too, I was disappointed and I cried thinking that all the work was done for nothing, but after 3,5 months they told me that this is my natural look and this really is - when upper jaw cover lower one a little bit. The main thing is to learn how to smile and to mimic again. So everything is alright, you just need some more time. God bless!

i’m so sorry. i personally had a major surgery and it’s been 6 months and i still don’t look like my norm. and everyone says that i look the same or that things aren’t noticeable and it’s so upsetting. i know that my face is wider i know that i look puffy and i can barely look in the mirror because i hate what i see. i know that that isn’t me. i cant smile with my teeth anymore and even if i smile it’s a small smile. the doctors say things just take time but it’s been months without improvement and i have major life changes coming in the future and i want to just look like me so i can have a better attitude about it and love myself again. ur the only person that ive found on the internet that has a remotely similar experience and thank you for sharing it.

Hello my name is Zoe and I'm from Cyprus. Thank you for the great youtube video. I have also had this surgery and I am 6 months later. I wanted to ask you if you can feel your lips because I still can't feel them in some places and I'm worried. could you help me?

@mroeplz 5 месяцев назад

When I had my jaw surgery, they put a wire hook into both my ears connected to a device to bite on. It hurt a lot, I don't know if you had it, but it was to make sure my jaw was aligned. It was used in surgery too. I mention this in case your surgeon did not use this device or know it exists (commented on your other video what surgeon I went to) and if you're scared you'll get a bad result again. I think knowing such a device and technique exists can ease your worries. To me it sounds like you had a bad surgeon and your only mistake was trusting a snake. You can have a good result. I wish I had gotten my surgery 10 years sooner. Please have hope that it can be fixed. It breaks my heart you did not have a good result.

@celesteessel4500 Год назад

Your post op looks like me after braces. I hate how orthodontists lie.........my orthodontist totally f'd me up. my nose and upper jaw is crooked. im sorry.

@daniearink2142 Год назад

Have you looked at bottom lip scar revision? The smile doesn’t seem too off, but the way bottom lip is working half way? Sometimes it’s growing webbing inside the lip after incision and makes the lip uneven during speech.

@julianakodama9794 Год назад

What’s the surgeons name?! Proud of you for advocating for yourself and not letting anyone gaslight you. The orthodontists aren’t going to throw the surgeon under the bus. Not only is it against code of ethics, they don’t want to get a bad rep among colleagues. Of course things are unpredictable with any surgery etc etc you’ve heard it all everyone’s anatomy is different. I think your Facial nerve branches on the right side were positioned in a way that they were traumatized during surgery causing atrophying of the right sided facial muscles/lack of control of facial expressions. I’m a fourth year dental student and hearing your experience with ortho/OMFS is something I will take with me what i start practicing. Im sorry this has been so traumatic. Thank you for sharing such a vulnerable experience 🙏🏼 I hope you are doing well mentally. You are beautiful inside AND out!

My orthodontist told me yesterday that I basically have 2 options… jaw surgery or pulling 2 upper teeth and wearing braces to pull my front teeth in more. He said the jaw surgery would be the better option because it’s actually fixing my bite and the other option is basically camouflaging the problem. But it would get rid of my overbite. Have no clue what I’m gonna do yet

@chrisc6898 11 месяцев назад

Would braces be an option? They’re super inconvenient but very effective in shifting teeth?

I changed my opinion. Since it looks like you’re in NY, you should go to Dr. Steinbacher at Yale. He is considered by many to be one of the premier experts in the field in the US.
