parts of my lip, chin and cheek were numb for the duration of six months following the surgery. i was really worried that the numbness would be permanent. this was one of my biggest worries before going into the surgery. there was risk, but i felt the benefits from the surgery outweighed the risks involved.

thanks for your comment and questions. don't worry too much about the pain. it is painful, but the pain eventually goes away. my biggest concern (and a big concern for a lot of others) was the loss of feeling in your chin and the area around it. for me, there was numbness for a long time in my chin, but all the sensation came back. overall, i am very happy with the results. this surgery has been a life-changing experience for me.

Hi, nice video. I also was announced that I will have to do it to correct my under bite. I wanted to ask you if you have experienced any loss of sensibility in the area after the operation. Apparently in some cases, the sensibility nerve can be damage and some people never recovers from that. I am so scared about and want to have as much info i can before taking the decision. A huge thanks for sharing your experience.

Hello,I just got back from the dentist who recommends I contact a specialist to talk about have jaw surgery to correct my underbite. I was googleing info on it when I found your video. How painful was it? Would you recommend it? And are you happy with how it has turned out?Thanks for sharing the video :)

Ignore the previous message. It was meant as a reply to fakhra8's comment.

That really sucks. Your surgeon should have gotten it right the first time.
