i am having a Lefort I osteotomy and a BSSO (bilateral sagital split osteotomy). those basically mean upper jaw and lower jaw surgery, respectively. most of the time people have these procedures to correct a severe overbite or underbite. you can see in these videos what the procedure consists of.
my case is more unique (special, yay) because i'm asymmetrical from side to side instead of over/underbite. they will do similar cuts and just adjust jaws up and down instead of back and forth, if that makes sense. luckily my teeth were pretty good already so i didn't have to have braces (again).
the yellow rope thing is a big nerve. will be numb for a while. hope i don't drool too much, and also hope that i regain all the feeling in my face. :/
