My Jaw surgery Experience, NHS, (non-cosmetic surgery) It has been a long two months and I still have a ways to go, but here is my experience so far.
Jaw surgery videos on youtube have really helped me to get through my own surgery, so I hope that this helps somebody else. - เพลง
I just want to say thank you so much for this video. I have been very insecure about my face after my braces were taken off, it left my profile looking bad. Before braces I had a very good, youthful looking face. I never like showing my face when I’m out. I feel ugly and it has affected my life so much. I had recently seen an orthodontist for a consultation and he suggested having lower jaw surgery. I immediately said no to that but now after watching so many videos and with the majorly having success surgery with good looking people, I am now reconsidering it.
Thank you! And you look great btw!
It's been a difficult few months and it's tough that you probably need a further op so it's good to see you smiling at the end. Hopefully you'll still feel it was all worth it after the second op. Keep your chi...err...keep your spirits up. You're doing so well.
SO glad i found this! i have an overbite and need surgery! most videos on here are for underbites. thank you so so much for this video x
thank you so much! hopefully it will happen soon and i can document mine too 💗
omg same!! there need to be more overbite jaw surgery vlogs out here
Heey! I was wondering how you were faring after surgery, and looking at the Reddit comments from your post I find that you've got a youtube channel running and just posted an update!
I'm so glad that even with these little setbacks everything went great. Couldn't stop smiling seeing your positivism through it all.
Also can testify, having the stitches come out it's a pain in the ass, happened to me with appendicitis.
Godspeed!
You managed to have a great attitude during a difficult recovery. Bravo, brave, beautiful girl!
This is so helpful! Thank you for this, im also a uni student and im about to have double jaw surgery later this year so seeing you’re recovery and jokes has really helped curve my anxiety!
I’m so happy for you! You look amazing x
ahhh you are so so brave girl! so glad it all went well for you, sorry to hear you will need more surgery i hope all goes well ☺️❤️
Abbie i hope you dont either! you are more than welcome sweetie ❤️

Michelle Vesely what’s funny ?
@@abigailcoy hi, do you think you will do an update on your journey? Really hope things settled down! X
Omgg were you singing special generation by berryz koubou? Im lowkey teary. Glad it still has a place in the background of your new life. This was really nice to watch, I was able to watch it all the way through!! And you are so pretty!!
You are so CUUUUTE!!! ❤❤ I pray for your surgery to be better And no more bruising!! ❤ happy your bite is doing well! Let us know how your 2nd surgery goes!
The way you described it sounded so painful, hope all is good👍🏻 got a new sub
your gorgeous before and after, hope all is going well with you now, wishing you the best
I thought I saw you on the pretty girls ugly faces subreddit LOL!! I'm glad your surgery went well!! But I'm sorry about the ending and possibly needing another surgery 😔 it'll all go well though, promise!! Keep us updated!!
OMG , you're so brave . Hope everything turns out perfecto !
I'm in love with your Ratatouille music in the background
Wow well done girl!!!! End of day it was worth it👍
Very interesting video. Thank you for sharing.
Oh Abbie,
This is quite an intense process - especially with you in such a wonderful but demanding school program. I must have missed something as I had no idea you were thinking of this surgery. But you are one to remain positive as you push forward towards your career aspirations. Thank you so much for sharing and you are very much in my thoughts and prayers. I look forward to updates on your progress.
P.S. We just completed 3 1/2 weeks visiting Family and Friends in Japan and now we are in Thailand with our Daughter's Family/5 Grandchildren. 😊 It is a very interesting time to be traveling and one of our dearest Friends from China could not join us. We are "safe/healthy" in a non-tourist area of Thailand for the next 3 weeks and then home to USA where I have psychotherapy patients awaiting my return.

Thank you for such a complete answer. I understand this to correct your underbite and it is looking great. I just worried because the surgery and complications have been so difficult but are appearing to be doing quite well. Thank you Abbie for sharing so much with us as it is really exciting to follow you from a young person into your acting career. 😋
I’m having this surgery in 6 months!!! I’m so scared 😂 I’m documenting my process on my channel too. Thanks for the inspo :)
Scary
@@abigailcoy hi Abigail x thanks for this video!
I was wondering how you got the surgery under the NHS. Is it something you talk to the orthodontist or GP about?
What reason do we give to explain why we need it as my jaw is the same as your before x
Love that british accent, and really admire the way u fight with it, ur brave
Thank you for sharing this!❤ I'll need double jaw surgery...
Seeing this gives me hope I'll be able to get jaw surgery under the NHS
I just had this surgery a week ago and I'll be glad when i can eat normal food again thank you for sharing.
Hii
Hi! I’m also getting a surgery for my overbite soon and I’m so scared but your strength inspires me so much!
I hope all works out for you! Sorry to hear about the infections.
Tha is for this video. That’s some serious swelling!
Can I ask, did you have to take a lot of pain medications? If so, was it just o we the counter stuff? Or more powerful stuff
I’m in recovery from drink and drugs and worried about using opiates etc
September 13th! Going for the same surgery! AHHHH! - Kyle
My days so brave x
Hello, I read in the comments that you were 19 when you got your braces fitted. Were your braces also on the NHS? I thought that braces were only covered by the NHS for people under 18 years of age or was this different in your case?
Hi! May I ask, what was the timeline like for you? From referral to braces to surgery? I was put on the waiting list to start treatment around 10 months ago. I’ve been told I need a wisdom tooth extraction, then braces and then surgery. I’ve seen so much online about people waiting years :(
Hey!!! I have had braces for over a year and I am having surgery this year. I am having my moulds / X-rays taken in a few weeks for surgery, do you know how long you had to wait between then and surgery? Thanks!
I’m about to go on the waiting list after 7 1/2 years of braces and retainers
im getting this surgery too for my underbite and I'm also a musical theatre student!! my main worry is adapting to singing again, how did you find it and do you have any tips so i don't lose any ability during the recovery process?? Loved the video!! xx
@@abigailcoy thank you!! I’ll keep that in mind!! Hopefully I can get back to a good level quickly too!! Xx
Also, how comfortable is your jaw now completing surgery? Does it take some getting used to
Any chance you could link the face ice pack! I have surgery in 2 weeks so am preparing myself now
Hi I am having the same as you, just got on the wait list how long did you wait ?
this is so random but something im stresssing about my surgery 😭 what did u wear during surgery under the hospital gown? are you allowed to wear your own clothes under the hospital gown or do they make u take all ur clothes off
Hey, I will do the same operation and I wonder when it hurts? Like did it hurt all the time or did it just hurts when you touched it? Were you scared before you did it and how did you react when you woke up, did it hurts much?
How long did you have to wait to have the surgery after your teeth were lined up?
Could you talk about how much time did you take to get back to singing?
I'm gonna have this surgery and I'm a opera singer! I would be really happy to listen to your experience
@@abigailcoy thank you very much Abbie for taking the time to answer!
Hello! I am a singer too and also am planning to have a double jaw surgery operation. Could we stay in touch? My email is eaderrick@presby.edu. Thanks!
@@elizabethannederrick6780 of course! I'm having my surgery in a month!
im contemplating on getting surgery for my underbite and im doing research. im almost 18 and im scared i dont have enough time because of corona and i am sooo done being insecure. ive being going to the dentist and orthodontist for many years and they have given me false hope about braces can fix this underbite. turns out i need surgery for it and thats the only option. my time is limited and i dont want to pay for it as i dont have that much money.
Abbie I have a recessed lower jaw and experience some popping but my dentist doesn’t care, who should I go to and how did you go about getting corrective surgery?
GP
I’m genuinely curious as to why they wouldn’t take you back in to stitch those layers back up. If that infection travels just a few mm, you’re going to be battling sepsis.
Do you remember how many millimeters your overjet was ? Nice video btw
@@abigailcoy Thanks for the super fast response ! :D
Hi. Abigail.
I'm currently 2 month post-op and the orthodontist has told me I have the same issue with my bracket. How did things work out for you going forward from this?
Cheers.
Zac.
@@abigailcoy No worries, hope you're ticking on nicely :)
You said you may have to go back for surgery because of the hole caused by the bracket? Did you go back for follow up surgery or did it heel up by itself?
Hello , how many mm were you and do h experience tightness when talking?
I kinda want to get this surgery- I have an overbite and the braces thing they gave me to bring my bottom jaw forward didn’t work- idk what they’ll do -
Hello hello,
Thanks for sharing.
May I ask do you suffer with popping, clicking or grounding sand like sounds?
Wishing you the best
Hi! I have an overbite and it’s caused me to suffer from TMJ pain, including popping and clicking :/ it pretty much happens whenever I move my mouth and can sometimes be painful :/
Kate Wilson, apologies, I should have worded my question clearer. I wanted to ask if you suffer from any popping and clicking as a result of the aftermath of the surgery itself?
Now that I know that you did have TMJ prior to the surgery, does that mean your symptoms have not improved? Have they worsened after the surgery?
Thanks for your time .
Hi. Could you tell me how old were you when you started the whole process? And also how much did you pay for everything? The surgery itself was free under the NHS I'm guessing
@@abigailcoy I was wondering who decides if you’re eligible and where do you go? What if they don’t agree that you’re eligible although you may be?
may I ask if feeling has returned fully?
How old were you when you got this done? I’m meant to be getting braces very soon (privately) and my ortho mentioned jaw surgery bc I have lip imcopetence which results in strain/clenching in my chin to keep my lips closed because at rest my lips are open! He didn’t really say much about it apart from its “not as common over here” as in America. Now I have been researching it I want to see about getting it done! How do I go about getting considered ? Is their requirements to getting jaw surgery?
Abbie thank you! I am actually from UK sorry for not making that clear! I am also 19 and have an overbite (although I don’t think it’s huge) but as I said have the other problems, my next ortho app was meant to be getting my braces put on but now I’ve considered surgery I think I would deffo benefit from it! As I do a lot of teeth clenching which in long run isn’t good! Do you think it would be best to make another appointment withy ortho for a kind of “second consultation” to speak more about it ? (Do they refer you to the maxo surgeon ?) x
Thank you so much! X
I was told I need this surgery got an opinion from one doctor will go to 2 more to see if they will say the same and if they do then I’d probably go through this surgery whitch is scary
I had braces and stopped wearing my retainer even tho when I did finally take my braces off, I still had a tiny but noticeable tooth gap and glue on my teeth. I was meant to go to an orthodontist appointment but because of family issues I never did. It's been few years now (I'm 18) and Idk who to go to for help, bc I would really like to see if I'd be applicable for the jaw surgery :( should I talk to my GP?
@@abigailcoy Ahh thank you! I was just wondering would I have to get braces again? Or can the surgery be done with crooked teeth, etc?
@@abigailcoy Oh well thank you for the advice and information!
I am 20 and still have overbite. I was offered surgery by the NHS when I was 16 but declined. Do you reckon they will still have me covered? Also was you completley knocked out during surgery ? Did you feel anything at all?
@Marshal Kim Jong Un how did you get this approved? I want it done too... good luck
Can you still get surgery if you have crowns
Heyy, did you feel your jaw clicking? Is it gone? How are you feeling? Can you open your mouth normally?
How long was the wait for your waiting list ???
I need to get braces and jaw surgery too :( but they said that the waiting list can be as long as two years I wanna cry
I've just got to the top of the list I'm having braces in Feb and jaw surgery 12-15 months later. I've waited just over two years but the last 6 months have been filled with scans, moulds, photos, xrays and group surgical appointments where you meet your surgical team a few times to see if you are suitable mentally and physically for the procedure. Good luck to you I hope it all goes well. The wait will be worth it
It will be longer now as well because of covid
@Logan Decker :D why would you hack your gfs ig password -
violating privacy much ?
@@gemmaj1091 have you got the braces on?
@@pheogz7320 yes now I do
Hi Abigail, how are you now?
I can't find my comment to reply to you... But yes I currently have braces on
When Face ID recognised you again 😂😂😂
That much swelling is too much
you sound like emma watson
