Thank you so so much for the kind words and warm wishes 🥺
Tysm for making this video I’m getting jaw surgery in the summer it’s been planned for the past 2 years and I love watching peoples experiences it means a lot💕 also you’re so beautiful
i have an underbite and just got off the waiting list, going in to talk about the potential for jaw surgery tomorrow. i relate to the cosmetic insecurities so much but i'm looking forward to seeing you recover!
awww amazing, i hope it went well, let me know the outcome!!
Aw your surgeons sounded so nice. The NHS is such a godsend 🙏🏻 my cousin had this surgery a few years ago and it completely changed her life. She looks like a totally different person and shes so much more confident!! You seemed to recover quite fast after surgery and you were able to open your mouth quite wide! Most people ive seen can barely move their jaw!
Yes - the NHS really is a God-send, I am so so grateful!!! I'm so glad that the surgery went well for your cousin as well, I can relate to the confidence point, I am already feeling so much better in myself already
You looked great girl.. congrats on the success of your surgery...I have an under bite too and I hope to get corrective surgery very soon
Ahhh also documenting mine, Nov 14th but having SO MUCH anxiety about it so I am coming to watch other people to hopefully make me feel ok again. LOL I'm like why did I sign up for this, but its ok. I hope you have the best and fastest recovery ever, def keep posting about it! I would love to see the overall experience! ❤
OMG 4 days left!! I wish you all the best, it will be amazing i promise, you've got this!!! i found that the build-up nerves/anxiety was way worse than the actual procedure. i'm at week 4 of recovery now and i'm doing great and pretty much back to normal life. excited for you!! xx
Just got the same surgery done a month ago, stay strong and eat as healthy as you can the first week is a nightmare but from there it will be a lot easier
aww how are you doing? hope you are recovering well! i’m on week 3 now and feeling so much better! that first week was hell…
Yes it is, I’m doing great actually no pain at this point and 90% of the swelling has gone but the numbness is here to stay
This came at the perfect time!! My surgery is in 3 days I’m too excited
aww good luck!! it honestly is so exciting, i’m at week 4 now and i have no swelling and i’m feeling so much better and more confident! so worth it!! 🩷🩷
Good luck!! I hope you have a speedy recovery!
Thank you so much for sharing this. I will be going through a similar surgery except they are going to be taking bone and skin from my leg to build an exact copy of how my lower jaw should be. Like you I've been in and out of the hospital to the point it feels like a second home. Your attitude and bravery are so helpful to watch!
thank you so much i’m so glad it’s been helpful! and that sounds like such a big operation, wishing you all the very best!!🙏🏽
your emotions after surgery have me tearyyy
awww bless you🥺🥺
Right
i’m so nervous bc i just have to wait to figure out when i have to get it, and i panic everytime i think abt it, but your vlogs are helpful and makes me feel like im not alone ❤
I'm so so glad the vlogs have been helpful in calming your nerves, I also found watching videos calming for me as it allowed me to know what to expect, I had quite bad anxiety leading up to it as well, but I promise it will be okay, it is SO SO worth it!
my surgery is in 3 weeks and this video is soso helpful. put me at ease a bit. I'm only really afraid of getting put to sleep and waking up!
Mine is on last week of April, excited!
Your dad is so cute and supportive. I love him.
awww thank you so much, I'm so grateful for him for real!!
I’ve got mine on Tuesday (8 days?) watching your vlog has really helped with my massive anxiety, I think I will vlog mine on my phone too :)
how did your surgery go!? wishing you all the best 🩷🙏🏽
@ pretty good! First 2 weeks of recovery really sucked but I’m on week 5? I think and I’m happy to be eating something that isn’t soup 🤭🤭
Still a bit numb and achey and puffy but here’s hoping it’ll keep healing ✨
Thanks for vlogging everything and adding all the comments❤ We appreciate it, big brave sister!
Awww thank youuu, love you!! ❤️
Well done cuz 🫶🏾
That’s my dawg 💪🏾
I’m having jaw surgery sometime this year I’m pretty nervous about it but this video helped me since I know I’m not the only one who has to get it
I'm so glad it is helpful! Wishing you all the best for your surgery as well, it will go amazing and you'll feel so much better afterwards
Im so happy for you girl
You have my exact bite. I cannot the surgery and see ur recovery.
Big congratulations beautiful
😊
how did the anesthesia feel? Did it feel fast for ur feeling? did u dream? thats the thing that scares me... 😢
heyyy! don't be scared about the anesthesia at all! i was worried about that before the op, but honestly it is so fine, they basically tell you "you're going to feel drowsy now" and before you know it you're conked out in a deep sleep! honestly it felt quite nice, was such a deep sleep. i had no dreams at all, and i fell asleep so fast, honestly i was already tired before they gave me the anesthesia anyways x
Does it hurt to sneeze after jaw surgery?
a little bit, yawning felt weird but it all feels normal now that i’m at month 3
Imagine you sneeze and stir up the whole bolt and nuts
I like the maxillofacial surgery in England, the videos from America they aren't as communicative and swell more.I am wondering is it because you are soo young that you're able to speak and move soo quickly?❤
I think age is probably a factor! Also just general health - I am pretty active, take vitamins, and try my best to eat healthy. All these factors play into the recovery process, but it is very individual to everyone x
@aleeshabruce absolutely good for you 👍🏼, you look amazing. Cheers to many years of good health for you 🙏🏽
Does it painful i will my appointment on up coming Monday for jaw surgery i m very curious 😭
Im from Philippines i wishh i could have my surgery too but i think its really impossible 🥲 happy for you ♥️
How did you afford it? It's so expensive and insurance doesn't cover it.
very brave
thankyou!!🥺
kinda got me emotional😢
awww bless you, it made me emotional editing it too haha
19:50 the surgeon is lowkey a cutie
ikrrrrrr ;)
Hi I was just curious as to how much the whole process cost you
Hey, the surgery was free under the NHS
How much did it cost you if u don’t mind sharing!?
completely free through the NHS
I have jaw surgery on January 8th
wishing you all the best and sending my love!! 🙏🏽
Why did u do surgery dear
for health reasons, it’s all explained in the video 😊

@ thanks im on week 5 I just wanna know how you deal with the arch bars and elastics lol
@Shelbyquotes_2 oh the elastics were so annoying for me at first, now it’s pretty much like second nature, i wear box elastics for 12 hours / day, hbu??
@@aleeshabruce same but now I have to change them everyday and it’s so hard bruh so I get my mum to do it but she finds it difficult to cuz it’s right at the back
@ is itttt? i dont find it difficult to change them at all, why is that? do you still have a lot of swelling / pain?
i had my double surgery 7 days ago!!… wishing u a good and easy as possible recovery 🥲🥲🥲. i feel ur pain lol
bless you!! how are you feeling now? i hope you are recovering well too xx
