Hey guys! Here is my first week after my double jaw surgery. This is definitely a long one, but hopefully it helps with any upcoming surgeries! Much love xx
Im reading the subtitles and im pretty sure thats not what you said but it made me smile. Im going through recovery now. I was attacked Sunday and got surgery Friday. Thanks for your videos. It's making it easier for me to know what to expect next.
Thank you for sharing your jaw journey and love your attitude towards your recovery. I had double jaw surgery when I was 15 which unfortunately relapse so now, 20 years later I’ve decided to do it again, next week 3 March. Your videos have been inspiring and really helps with my anxiety so thank you!
Roxanne! I’m proud of you for taking control of your health!! It’s so worth it from my POV! Oof girl that surgery anxiety is REAL! I’m so happy I can help in some way, good luck with your surgery! X
Hey Chloe! Thank you so much for sharing your recovery journey! I was actually supposed to get the same surgery three weeks ago, but it has been postponed due to COVID. It sounds weird to say but I have been living vicariously through you! Hang in there, sending love from Canada :)
I finally have an appointment to get my surgery date after having it dangled in front of me just before lockdown in the UK, so my treatment came to a halt! I might finally be back on track; you seem to be doing really well, all the well wishes from me! I’ll be keeping up to date, notifications are on! :)
Hi Chloe! I appreciate you sharing your journey and recovery! I was misdiagnosed by a general dentist and was doing Invisalign for over two years until I went to an actual orthodontist and found out I would need DJS. I got my braces on in March the day everything closed and I am meeting with my surgeon Thursday. Hopefully I can have my surgery later this summer. I am very nervous and anxious about the recovery. How did you get through it and how did you manage your fears?
I just got mine done on the 16th so it’s nice having a fellow Aussie my age going through the same thing right now! Im defiantly very emotional and I just wanna eat whole foods again but it can only get better from here, looking forward to more updates xx
It’s day 9 post op for me.. and I agree with everything you said in the video 100%. I am still struggling mentally and physically...massive ups and downs. It’s such a long hard process I find..... and very hard to stay positive when you can’t sleep. I wonder how long it took you to start feeling like yourself again. Looking forward to hearing from you either in comment or in your new video
Yay! You’re on the other side. 🥰 Been thinking of your journey during covid. All the anaesthesia can make you really emotional as it wears off! Props on you for staying strong. How is the graft? Was it from your hip or donor?
i’m one week post op too and just wanna check which part of your face experience numbness as i can’t feel my whole upper face and nose so i’m getting a little worried :(
I think we had our procedures done around the same time! How’s your progress? And do you have pain in your lips/upper lip especially? Mine hurts so bad when I pull certain facial expressions 😳
Progress is going well so far! I found my upper lip was definitely harder to move because of the stitches healing slowly and it being in a completely new position! Hope you are doing well!
Hey Aleisha, I probably would describe the discomfort as very swollen and weak... I didn't really experience much pain (apart from some slow-healing stitches) because I was so numb and swollen! I found an ice pack or heat pack could help relive this discomfort :)
I have an overbite and I’m thinking that braces won’t fix it so I’m probably going to have to get jaw surgery but I’m not sure because I haven’t had braces before and I have teeth that are out of place. Do you have to have braces for years before jaw surgery.
Hi Jalael, your orthodontist will suggest what they think is best for your bite, but in my case, I had braces for a few years to straighten out and prepare my teeth for their new position after the jaw had been moved. They also keep everything in place while your jaw heals! Hope this helps a little bit! Good luck :)
I’m having surgery in 9 days. What was the name of your surgery? I’m getting lefort 1, bilateral Sagittal split osteotomy & anterior segmental osteotomy. Your videos have been so helpful
Really this is very rough recovery, after seeing the way you're swelling was, I fear this op, I have sleep apnea and my Dr recommends double jaw surgery and chin advancement. It make me fear this major op.
Hey Aleigha! I found the big water bottle at my local super market (it was in the cooking isle, probably supposed to be used for sauces or the like lol!), and I found the smaller ones at Kmart! :)

Right!? I found as soon as I started eating solid foods again I felt so much better! Hope everything is going well!
Your beautiful 💜 thanks for sharing your experience 🙏🏻

Ah such a good explanation about the palate. Was wondering how it felt afterwards.
Let us know how the swelling goes! I'm contemplating surgery too!

Hey Annaliese, so emotional!! Thanks so much for your thoughts ✨ I had the graft taken from my hip, which I didn’t really notice among all the rest! X
@@ChloeEvans1 what for did you had to have a graft?
Ouch hope you’re doing well now
Chloe please update us :)
Eeee coming soon! thanks for being so patient! xx
i’m one week post op too and just wanna check which part of your face experience numbness as i can’t feel my whole upper face and nose so i’m getting a little worried :(
Where did you get your ice pack?
Does it hurt?

Progress is going well so far! I found my upper lip was definitely harder to move because of the stitches healing slowly and it being in a completely new position! Hope you are doing well!
How would you describe the pain and discomfort of recovery?!
Hey Aleisha, I probably would describe the discomfort as very swollen and weak... I didn't really experience much pain (apart from some slow-healing stitches) because I was so numb and swollen! I found an ice pack or heat pack could help relive this discomfort :)
Please give us a follow up video! Thanks x

Chloe Evans yes it does thanks for clarifying and I’m so glad to hear your story and hopefully you’ll come back stronger than ever. 😇
I’m having surgery in 9 days. What was the name of your surgery? I’m getting lefort 1, bilateral Sagittal split osteotomy & anterior segmental osteotomy. Your videos have been so helpful
Hey Danae, I think the surgery I had was called maxilla-mandible correction? I’m so useless at remembering terms eeeee! Good luck with your surgery! X
@@ChloeEvans1 thank you! Your videos make me sooooo excited and confident
How are you doing now??
Hi Cian, an update is coming soon! thank you for being so patient xx
Really this is very rough recovery, after seeing the way you're swelling was, I fear this op, I have sleep apnea and my Dr recommends double jaw surgery and chin advancement. It make me fear this major op.
Go for it. You are so worth it. Fear is normal but face it.
Absolutely worth it! Just take it easy throughout the recovery and you will be just fine x
Where did you get the water bottles?
Hey Aleigha! I found the big water bottle at my local super market (it was in the cooking isle, probably supposed to be used for sauces or the like lol!), and I found the smaller ones at Kmart! :)
@@ChloeEvans1 oh my goodness thank you so much for responding!
I'm 2 Days post op and I hate almost EVERYTHING
Oh Andrea! I'm sorry to hear that! I found those first few days really challenging too, I hope you are feeling better as time goes on!
Chloe Evans I’m feeling so much better now! Today is my day 11 post op. I’m so happy right now 😅
That looks much less worse than I thought
