Genio Surgery Is Next Week

inb4f i need bimax, legit consulted 10 max facs including zarrinbal and none of them would do bimax on me. Only 1 was @CosmicMaxxer's Steinbacher where i suggested a le fort 2, or an OBO which he quoted like $50k which i dont have.

Plan is potentially 6mm forwards, however he said that on the operating table the exact movements might be changed so i'm flexible.
Also asked him about chin widening i.e. putting a bone graft and doing a T-shaped osteotomy for more chin width. He said he could do this but he was against me getting it for aesthetic reasons.

I consulted with him last year but at that time i wanted to see if i could potentially get bimax elsewhere, once i found out it wasn't feasible I went back to him in May then managed to scheduled a surgery for July. So pretty quick surgery date and plus its in the UK, I cba travelling countries to Rameiri or Alfaro. It's more expensive but logistically its better and quicker.

Cant remember if you said in your Jaw surgery thread but how did take care of the intraoral incisions to prevent infection or re-opening of the sutures? Im planning for soft diet of soups, pasta etc for like a week and also after every meal wash my mouth with corsodyl mouthwash

Yup after every meal to brush teeth and to rinse with a antibacterial mouthwash.

Also after a few days you can lightly brush the sutures to remove any trapped foods.

Also best to have a soup diet for a week or two just to minimise chewing.

great thanks for that, soup diets gonna be a pain cause i like to chew stuff. Ive heard genio recovery is pretty tame so hopefully will be healed up in a few weeks. Also I think smoothies are pretty good? Like blended oats that are soaked overnight in blended fruit + milk + some protein powder and yoghurt. No chewing involved for those all together

Sure, I would double check with your surgeon but I don't see any significant issues.

Maybe im just overthinking but Soups tend to be sterile from being heated, plus more nutrient dense, can be made low carb/sugar, so it doesn't feed bacteria as easy.

I would saved up and done the obo for 50k.

for that i would need a consult with an occuloplastic for a pfl lengthening since obo reduces your pfl so thats another 20-30k.

@Gaia262 @DoctorLooksmax

You and me in the same boat bro. I was about to go down the rabbit hole with bimax and rly fuck up my life. But I realized bimax can go horribly horribly wrong if not done perfectly and isn’t worth the risk of looking like quagmire or a chimp esp w my slight bimaxillary protrusion. So I have genio on the 21st this month as we spoke about before. We’ll be recovering at the same time. Can’t wait to see how we turn out.

Good luck OP. Tell us how everything goes.

The result has been good tbh however I don't know if its an issue with me but my chin is still pretty numb feeling. So I haven't gained 100% feeling in the chin area. And its been nearly over a year since ive had it done

Nerve damage takes forever to heal, a year might be a little long though so if it’s concerning you it’s better to get it checked out

yeah you're right probably i should check in with the surgeon just been so busy with life lol. Been away from the forum for a while

It’s normal.

I cut myself deep with a knife back in 2009, the nerve of my right index was hit. To this day I still haven’t recovered 100% of the sensation in this finger.

Invasive surgeries have risks and cons. I’d rather have a bit of numbness in my chin for the rest of my life than look like a recessed
subhuman.

yeah but its definitely annoying. Wonder if theres something I can take to speed up the nerves healing up.
