Three months post op #DoubleJawSurgery today. Feels like ages ago! Doing really well, and my mouth opening is back to at least what it was before surgery. No complaints at all! 😊✌️

2 months PO #DoubleJawSurgery for #Underbite Not long up, so feeling sleepy and puffy but still really happy with my results so far and celebrating reaching 300 YouTube subscribers 😊 All still going really well; working on getting my mouth opening back to 4 fingers.

After my last one month update post, I got _a lot_ of questions asking why my #lips changed after #DJS The answer is all down to supporting structure! Check out my Instagram (Cassandrita Potato) and Facebook (Cassandra Patatita) for the full explanation ✌️👄

I'm a little late to my own party, but I finally have a one month post #DJS update for you! Watch it on YouTube now: https://t.co/iDzQqLxzuJ More comparison pics are in the video too ✌️

5 weeks PO #DJS Got a new elastics pattern today - just four bands instead of six now. They kept the lingual buttons in case they need them later. Good job they're not bothering me too much anymore!

[Cassandra Patatita @CassandraPatati]

3 weeks PO #DJS Got my splint out, x-rays back, and now need to wear six elastics for at least the next two weeks 😱 These buttons / hooks on the inside are already irritating me so much 😓 #DoubleJawSurgery

17 days PO #DJS Totally obsessed with this "simulation of my next surgery results" 😅 Managed to eat chicken yesterday - unshredded! 😀🕺🏻

2 weeks post op #DoubleJawSurgery for class 3 #Underbite ✌️ #DJS #BeforeAndAfter

[Cassandra Patatita @CassandraPatati]

11 days PO #DJS Check up went well; most stitches removed. Just removed my kinesio tapes to reveal some light bruising. Doesn't feel bad though 👍

[Cassandra Patatita @CassandraPatati]

8 days PO #DJS Had my first non-liquid, non-baby food, chewable meal! Felt weird due to the numbness, but went well 😊🍴

[Cassandra Patatita @CassandraPatati]

First #PostOp #JawSurgery check up - all looks good! Can remove the splint to eat and brush now. Stitches to be removed on Friday. Here's a snippet of my first week PO. Watch the full #TimeLapse on YouTube https://t.co/LyQbsXknHb

Day 5 post #DJS. Just tried to eat an olive. Nope! Felt something in the back of my top jaw and got nervous. Sticking to liquids and baby food for now 🍼👶 We will meet again, foe 😅

[Cassandra Patatita @CassandraPatati]

Day 4 PO #DJS Had pain in my lower jaw for the first time last night; mainly pressure due to the bands. My lower lip and chin have all feeling; my upper lip, palate, and parts of my cheeks and nose are numb. These wash / squeeze bottles have been excellent for eating. Recommend!

Out of the clinic and back in familiar surroundings, in my true potato form 🥔🥔

[Cassandra Patatita @CassandraPatati]

For those worried about the #SmooshNose it's really not that bad, it's just swelling. Mine has already improved after just one day. #DJS #JawSurgery #Underbite

[Cassandra Patatita @CassandraPatati]

Swelling continues to increase, but here's a quick before surgery vs almost immediately post op #DJS #underbite

[Cassandra Patatita @CassandraPatati]

I made it. More updates to follow. #DJS
