BIMAX 3 WEEKS POST OP

does it mean you cannot make good movements if your ortho puts you into class 1 before sugery?

My case is a bit different, my surgeron told me to get to perfect class 1 before surgery

If your ortho gives you a class 1 bite with recessed jaws and you are planning to get jaw surgery, your ortho is retarded.

That makes no sense.

Please double check with another surgeon, a class 1 bite before jaw surgery makes 0 sense as that would involve camouflage orthodontics.

Unless your surgeon plans to move both jaws the same amount or something like that.

@chadisbeingmade
Holy cow
Interesting how you can lose hollows from it like he did tho

It's swelling; that area balloons up the most and takes the longest to go away.

my surgeon is raffaini, but will ask him again
my case is a bit special
basically after the camouflage orthodontics i got a mewing appliance that changed my teeth and palate significantly, and my teeth remained straight / got straigher without any retainers
i have no "unnatural" position of my teeth, as they are stable because of this mewing appliance
which means that i basically don't have anything to decompensate to come back to the "previous state" because braces

If it's raffaini, then I guess he has a reason for what he does.

3 weeks Post OP

I said I would get bimax and post no matter how good/shit the result was, so here it is.

Tried to keep angle, lighting consistent as I can.

View attachment 3639282

Movements were lefort 1 5mm, bsso 10mm (8 or 9 on one side, I had asymmetrical lower jaw movements), and a 4mm genio.

I had a bit of CCW.

SNA: 76 -> 85.5
SNB: 72 -> 83

I'm still omega swollen, the side doesn't do justice for how my chipmunky my cheeks look from the front.

There's a lot of shit I want to talk about and the limits of this surgery.

It would take a ton of time to write a comprehensive guide, so I want to see if there's people that want to read it. If everyone would rather read threads on BBC smv to whores from Birmingham on offtopic, I'm not going to bother.

Noteworthy things:

There were as much vertical changes as horizontal, my lower third height looks more proportional.

In certain lighting, I have hollows as the surgery(esp. the bsso) stretched my skin. It almost looks like I'm cheeksucking when I'm not.

The pain I would describe as a more "bludgeoning" type of pain on the sides of my jaw. There's lots of pressure, which is supposedly muscular, so Advil has helped. It's not the post wisdom tooth removal pain where it's sharp and stingy.

I highly recommend getting your wisdom teeth out on a separate day prior to surgery, because dealing with both would be fucking awful.

Morphs are fucking useless, because soft tissue will not contour perfectly like you'd hope. For an example, my chin doesn't have that nice "s" shape.

Mentally it's fucking rough as you are constantly alternating between it looks good to it looks like shit. I suggest finding something to keep your brain occupied that is not the mirror or your phone camera.

The bimax was more or less what's expected from a bimax, but I can't subdue that shitty voice in the back of my head(that's getting louder and louder) whispering, "You spent 4 years of your life rotting away for this?"

Here's the fucking truth guys: I did not have that epiphany as I'd hoped. There's no rays of light or angel hymns. It's just "oh I guess that's that."

I'm fucking behind on school doing a piece of shit computering science degree, and by the time I'll get my first real job, I'll be in my late 20s. No bimax for missing life goals.
