BSSO surgery in 2 days, ask the questions you'd like here

I'll include all the info asked for in my post op thread.

looksmax.org

i made that thread asking anyone with questions to ask, i will make another thread after my swelling is gone with a censored before and after.
I'm one week post op today and just came back from control.

@False
What is BSSO again?
And why are you getting it?
bilateral sagittal split osteotomy, a surgery where your jaw gets moved and rotated to correct your bite.

• Bilateral = on both sides
• Sagittal = along the length direction
• Split = the bone is split
• Osteotomy = surgical cutting of bone

this section is chatGPT:

• Sagittal
  → front-to-back direction (like BSSO)
  → divides the body into left and right
• Coronal (also called frontal)
  → side-to-side direction
  → divides the body into front and back
• Transverse (also called axial)
  → horizontal direction (top-to-bottom split)
  → divides the body into upper and lower

BSSO is only sagittal.
I had an overbite meaning my lower jaw needed extension.
The jaw is broken in a "stairs" shape on both sides.

a thing to note here, i didnt have plates but screws, 3 screws on each side.
like this:

i dont know which of the two however. im guessing right* with my pain distribution.
a short article on this:

Post-BSSO condylar position stability: a comparison of miniplate and lag screw fixation - PubMed

The results indicated that both lag screw and miniplate fixation methods can be effectively employed in BSSO procedures without impacting condylar position parameters. Thus, either fixation method can be chosen depending on factors such as the surgeon's preference and clinical outcomes.

I had an advancement of 7-8mm forward and a slight rotation.


@sub5_poopcel
Do you plan to have any surgeries on the maxilla?
No, however, if possible i would like a genioplasty but its no priority or a "per se" case.
My entire jaw is strong, even before correction, although i feel my chin needs more projection.
This can easily be done with threads and specifically for my chin fillers, i'll do that most likely.

@gymcelld
How much?
Actually i dont know, my parents paid for every dime + insurance.
I'm estimating €6-7 maybe almost 8k for the surgery itself.. I'm going with €8k easily since i went to a private clinic.
Private clinics can charge up to €12k alone for the surgery itself even.
Since this one is the best around in Belgium (imo) i'd say €12k total isnt shy of the truth.
@svarddre
Are you nervous
I wasnt at all besides the ten minutes in the O.R. right before.
@Itsov3rlol
What are your expectations?
To look hotter and sexier ofcourse. worked i'd say but its not yet much visible due to swelling.
@3pider
are you posting b & a
censored in a different thread yes, PM me for the uncensored images once my swelling is gone.
My surgeon said the swelling will be (almost) fully gone in two weeks.

@Sub->CL
Covered by insurance? Name of doctor?
Partially, not telling.

If you've read this far, again, dont ask to post results here, they'll be posted censored in a future thread and uncensored to those i feel like sharing it to in PM.

If there are ANY other questions i suggest asking them now, you have a chance to ask it first hand. Outside of this thread i will ignore any questions regarding my surgery.

dar but I can see its high effort. mirin the thread
