As far as the video goes... I don't know how soon I'll be doing another one, lol. I need to braven up!! Thank you for reading my blog though. Hopefully you'll be able to find it helpful. You've at least helped me! :)Musings thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16309941047307225288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6469844440410506061.post-25586212662363857842012-11-06T19:44:18.869-08:002012-11-06T19:44:18.869-08:00Thanks Ellie :) The appointment went so incredibly...Thanks Ellie :) The appointment went so incredibly well today. He did not show me a picture of what he thinks my profile will look like, but I thought about what you and Mary said in your comments, and decided to not even ask for any. Maybe it's just better left as a surprise. Good luck at your next adjustment!Musings thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16309941047307225288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6469844440410506061.post-70454940240360418512012-11-05T19:52:48.923-08:002012-11-05T19:52:48.923-08:00I just watched your video too, I don't think I...I just watched your video too, I don't think I could do one! I haven't even done pics yet! Anyway, I wanted to comment too about the pics from your surgeon. The one I want to go to ( waiting for insurance pre-authorization) said that they do tracings to show your predicted profile since pictures could cause unrealistic expectations because they can't predict how your soft tissue will adapt to the changes they make to the jaw structure underneath. Plus, in my opinion, you want to adapt to your face as you heal and see the final results emerging and you won't want a picture stuck in your head that you think you should look like. Good luck at your appointment-I will be interested in your update!MaryChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00035199998650740972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6469844440410506061.post-174922802755105122012-11-05T17:40:58.703-08:002012-11-05T17:40:58.703-08:00Hi Brytt!

Mine broke about 5 weeks after surgery, and they replaced it with just a support wire (so much better) which I hardly notice. Hope to have that taken out at my next adjustment. <br />I had wanted a pic of the proposed final result also, but my surgeon & ortho don't do it anymore as they said they found the pics to be unrealistic. I had my ortho draw over my profile X-ray to give me a better idea. <br />Hope your appt goes well :)<br />Cheers - EllieEllie Fanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08837189775276894060noreply@blogger.com
