Guest guest Posted July 21, 2003 Report Share Posted July 21, 2003 Is there anyone on here that is 45+ years that have had this surgery? I would love to hear about your experience. I ask for 45+ because the older we get the harder and longer healing takes. Thank you! Lynne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 21, 2003 Report Share Posted July 21, 2003 I had lower advancement and sideways movement last summer, at the age of 56. Had an easy recovery, actually, and have no residual numbness at all. Cammie > Is there anyone on here that is 45+ years that have had this > surgery? I would love to hear about your experience.

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2003 Report Share Posted July 21, 2003 Hi Lynne, I'm 51 and had lower and upper advancement 2 weeks ago. I'm doing pretty well. The Dr. said I bruised more than usual. and I still have little energy. But I have an understand man and I'm resting a lot. Anne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2003 Report Share Posted July 22, 2003 Hi Lynne, I'm close to your age - was almost 47 when I had my upper/lower/genio surgery last August. I didn't find the recovery hard at all. My experience is posted on the geocities site at http://www.geocities.com/orthognathicinfo (PERSONAL SURGERY EXPERIENCES), but I'd be glad to answer any questions you might have. I've had a few compliments about how much younger I look as a result of the surgery, including a friend of the family I met recently overseas who thought I was 30 years old (maybe she needs stronger glasses!). My sister, who is one year older than me, is p*ssed as hell about it " when are you going to start looking your age? " heehee! > Is there anyone on here that is 45+ years that have had this > surgery? I would love to hear about your experience.
