I had two-jaw surgery because of a protruding lower jaw and a long face. About a month has already passed. The first week after surgery was so hard, but now I feel like I can live a bit. Still, it’s a surgery I never want to have again. There is still some swelling left, but I take comfort in watching the swelling go down day by day I’m so happy that I can have the wafer removed next week. And how much longer will I need orthodontic treatment? People’s minds really are fickle
