A brief visit into my post-op orthognathic lower-jaw surgery (with genioplasty) experience.

I know, I know
I know I have to get some real BEFORE pics up here, but I don't keep those around. I did have my husband take one and as soon as I get it, I will post it for all the world to see.
My cheek looks swollen in this picture, but that is just the way my head is turned. That side has virtually no swelling. Tomorrow will mark two months since I went under the knife.
5 weeks 5 days
Still a little swollen, but not bad!
Three photos from the 5.2 week mark
Still a little swollen on the left. Still have a few stitches that need to come out.
Today! Three Weeks and Two Days Post Op!
Getting There...Still Swollen, but Feeling Good!

Two Days After Surgery
Damn Gina! This girl is swollen!
A Frontal Picture Before Surgery
My doctor calls this "posturing" (this is kind of what I will look like after surgery, I am pushing my lower jaw as far forward as I can here).
My Gross Before Picture
I NEVER let people knowingly see me from this angle with a relaxed chin.
