Tori Re: For those of you....

[Guest guest]

Hi, Tori. I'm only on day six, so I can't give too much info about

swelling, especially not after good answer. But I *think* that

younger patients heal more quickly. (maybe you can ask your surgeon.)

I've heard of some 17 year olds who didn't look swolen at all after a

week or two. I'm 33, so my recovery probably won't be as fast as yours.

Also, I don't know what surgery you're planning on having, or why or

when, but I read somewhere that usually surgeons wait until you are 17

(and pretty much done growning) before they do orthognathic surgery.

Check into this with your surgeon. I hope you don't think I'm being

nosey or a pain in the tuckus here, I just want them taking good care

of you!

Best of luck to you!
