Guest guest Posted September 6, 2003 Report Share Posted September 6, 2003 Hi there! Just wondered if anyone is in the same boat as me. I had upper/lower/genio on July 14 and went through hell for the first 2 weeks post-op, as well as the nighmare of being wired shut and splinted for a month. Thought I'd be feeling great by now. I'm so depressed. A lot of the numbness, burning and tingling in my lip and chin which were finally going away, have come back (spoke to resident by phone - said it's normal), my energy level is pretty low and I'm also not crazy about the cosmetic outcome. Although I've had many compliments, I was expecting to look prettier. Maybe my expectations were too high. My surgeon's residents think I'm crazy for not loving the way I look and they keep showing me the hideous mugshots they took of me for my pre-op pictures. Well of course I look better than those!!! Anybody out there gone/going through same as me? Please help to cheer me up - my friends are concerned about the funk I'm in. They don't understand and they keep making really dumb comments which they think will make me feel better, but actually make me more miserable.
