  • I'm officially one month post op! Once I got the screws taken out I noticed the swelling in that area finally go down and am able to move my mouth a bit more. Feeling encouraged & more energized now!

    Wow! You see yourself everyday so you might not notice the difference but you look so much less swollen. One side is even a bit less swollen. Hang in there! You are going strong and you will be looking great. Don’t worry!

    Pro-tip for when you get your invisalign. Every 2-3 weeks you will switch to a new aligner set. Switch to your new set at night and take an ibuprofen before you go to sleep. It allows you to sleep through most of the pain as your mouth gets used to the new set.

    Cleaning service will change your life. My husband and I used to argue who should do what and now we have someone come in twice month for deep cleaning. Big difference in our marriage.

    Don’t feel discouraged. Your face will get back to “normal.” As someone who had the surgery (10+ years ago), it will take about a year max to take its shape.
    Hot pads are your friend. Use warm hot clothes to help with the congestion. Your nose will bleed. You’re having a similar recovery to me.

    You seem much more upbeat and confident since the last Vlog! Speech is clearer and more pronounced (besides when you had the numbing shot of course!) and the swelling is going down nicely, although too slowly for you I'm sure! Nice to see laughter, smiles, and fun becoming a part of your life again!

    Honestly, your smile looks a lot better, I have followed since before op, so seeing the first smile you made after surgery where your muscles were just barley holding it to now is a big change. All in all just continue and you willget there eventually. Does not matter how long it takes, be greatfull for all the small changes each day, your body is working hard for you to heal.

    I was in invisalign for 3 years and it changed my hit completely, but you’ll get used to it pretty quickly. I just finished back in September and I love my new smile.
    So excited for the Palm Springs house videos!!! Congrats again!

    Hi Shelby, I hope you aren't feeling too discouraged. I had double jaw surgery 5 years ago and just want you to know that things will get better! My swelling didn't go down completely until about 6 months after surgery but at that point, I was the only one who noticed the swelling anyway. Thanks for being open about this whole process. You are looking great! Take care

It's already been a month and you're looking more fresh and invigorated every day. I know from your point of view you still look very unlike Shelby but believe me you are making great progress. You'll be surprised just how soon everything will be so much better. Just keep hanging in there. You're doing great!

    I truly appreciate all that you do. And thank you for documenting your whole process with getting jaw surgery. I personally will be getting jaw surgery as well in may due to TMJ. I didn’t know what to expect since it is not a normal procedure to get done (at least from what I’ve seen). I now have a calm mindset and taking the advice that you give to set me up for success with eating and going through the process.

    Shelby, I think your recovery is going to speed up now that those four screws have been taken out. Just being able to move your mouth more freely will make a big difference in the healing process. You also look great so don't worry about that.
