Ch-ch-ch-changes
I think my face is weird…but that’s maybe because it is finally proportional. Is that right? Well, My face used to end right below my mouth, but now it doesn’t.
Okay, granted self-portraits don’t look great, you can see my chin is very much in plain view. You can also see that I still have some swelling in the jowl area and I look like Droopy Dog. teehee I’m not complaining. It is what it is. I have found that smiling (however weird it may feel with lots of numbness) is a better look for me and my new facial addition.
Um…probably a more normal smile would work better, but you get the picture.
So here’s what my smile looked like before surgery and after:
More chinnage.
Okay it took way longer than it should have for this blog to be written and all…so I am off to do Monday things in a Monday way. Ciao. - smac

Sweetie, no one is going to get an accurate picture of themselves by doing a self-portrait like that. And if you stare at yourself long enough (particularly with a straight face,) you’re bound to start thinking you look strange. This will all take getting used to. But, as far as I can tell, there is nothing strange about your “new” face. It’s just different than what you’re used to. =)

Shelby, you look great! I think it’ll just take you some time to get used to the new look. I have pretty much your jaw structure pre-MMA and will be going through the same thing this summer and your blog is very encouraging. May I ask how many mm Dr L moved your upper and lower?
