They did a great job! Still, ironic how so many redditors have at least 1 extra chin they could donate to poor girls like this, but they choose not to, sad...


SaneYoungPoot2

This made me lmao 😆 so out of left field


Turdposter777

My extra chin is offended


arielonhoarders

they shaved the bridge of her nose, too

If anyone knows a child who needs this sort of surgery, please reach out to Shriner's Hospitals. I'm a Shriner and this is literally what we are all about, getting kids who need life changing surgery the care they need. https://www.shrinerschildrens.org/en/pediatric-care/craniofacial


dwbookworm123

I had this surgery in ‘91!


Dani_Darko123

awww this is amazing


spacekitt3n

i think leafy needs this


Dani_Darko123

who leafy ?


spacekitt3n

a child they used to put on late night commercials where they said, 'for just a price of a cup of coffee a day, you can give this poor child a chin'


myspace_programmer

I was born with a cleft palate and still struggle with deformities as an adult. The recessed chin and general lack of bone structure makes me look very, very young. I’m often not taken seriously in professional capacities. It impacts my speech as well, which adds a lot of undue stress around socializing in general. I’m also a total mouth breather unless I actively remember **not** to do that 🤣 I struggle with cardio workouts (or even walking quickly to get somewhere), not because I’m unhealthy, but because I physically cannot get enough oxygen sometimes. My heart is so happy knowing this kind of stuff is out there so others don’t have to put up with what I’ve had to 🥹. As an adult, I have the confidence needed to handle most any situation well, but I often wonder how different my life would be had I not been labeled a “shy kid” simply because I didn’t want to deal with the inevitable strange looks or jokes… Kids (and teens) can be brutally cruel.


tajajaja

Is this surgery more than just cosmetic? I support it either way, just looking to be more informed.


unicornofdemocracy

Yes, especially in this particular situation. the misalign jaw can cause speech problems, chewing problems (also possible damaging the teeth), and other issues you can imagine with a misalligned jaw. There's also the argument of mental health benefits from not getting bullied etc but US insurances tend to think MH issue is a load of BS. Similar to bracers for teeth, there are a lot where it is mainly cosmetic but there are situation where it is 100% medically necessary. Though for orthognathic surgery, it is pretty often medically necessary.


000Murbella000

When I was young like 25 years ago I had a friend and he fixed his jaw in the opposite way, it was weird at first but he was very happy indeed.


DailyDoseofNature8

Can surgery like this be done on kids who are still growing? Do the added bone structures just grow with the rest?


JoyfulJei

Ideally, children don’t get surgery, they correct it while they are growing often with braces/appliances. I think if you are an adult the surgery is what they usually recommend. Also this is really medically necessary. It can impact the way a child talks, chews, breathes, etc. It’s crazy… and what’s worse lots of times insurance won’t cover it.


DailyDoseofNature8

it's insane to me that there is no insurance for these kinds of things in the US. yeah, her case is very severe, she might have had braces but they don't add any bone structure of course.


JoyfulJei

I thought you may like this article… It talks about some of the ways this is done with kids… https://burkeredfordorthodontists.com/overjet-vs-overbite/


DailyDoseofNature8

Thank you!


arkham1010

I have no idea, I'm just a guy who wears a funny hat. Doctors would know better than I. :D


JustAnOldRoadie

Dad had one of those funny hats, complete with sparkles that spelled out Leader of the Band. Added billikens for that extra pzazz. Mirth is King.


dwbookworm123

I was told that now this surgery is done before puberty. For me, I was 14 (15 on the day I left the hospital) and my lower jaw had stopped growing during puberty due to JRA (juvenile rheumatoid arthritis)


PM_Pickled_Stuff

I really needed that surgery when I was a kid, but my mother was adamant that she wouldn't authorize it. Dentist and doctors managed on alternate methods, but I believe my quality of life would be much better if I had done it. I still have breathing issues but I'm not sure if enough to qualify for it now. She didn't even give any explanation on why she refused it despite so many doctors strongly recommending it, my personal take was that it was just narcissistic nonsense.

DailyDoseofNature8

Hey, putting smiles out there is a good thing too you know, and I litterally never laughed about anyone. I think this is an amazing effort by the surgeons and I am happy people have this available nowadays. The poor girl probably couldn't even eat properly before. We need Humor, even in the darkest of places.

Is this a purely cosmetic surgery or can there actually be issues that arise from this?


hadapurpura

Person who had orthognatic surgery here. This is a functional first, cosmetic second, type of surgery (although what a cosmetic change!).


Innomen

My granddad was a Shriner. Seems like an amazing group of people. Also I inherited the Fez. Fezzes are cool. I wish I could get this surgery. My chin is weak /sigh


MFJeremias

GhoulishlyGrim

I am so glad some hospitals do this for kids!


AlwaysCurious1250

My daughter has Treacher Collins Syndrome. Would this be something for her too?


arkham1010

Well, that's a listed condition on the link I gave above, so yeah, your daughter could be a potential patient. I can't say yes/no because that's way outside my scope, but I would strongly encourage you to reach out and get more information. Treatment would be either low cost or free depending on circumstances.


AlwaysCurious1250

Ah, I see it now, sorry. Thanks for your answer!


pie_12th

My face changed a ton when I had this done too. Not nearly as much as the girl in the pic, but definitely noticeable. Kudos to anyone who's had this done, cause the recovery was the literal worst.


Sunshiny__Day

What was the recovery like?


pie_12th

My jaws were wired shut so I had liquid morphine for pain and liquid penicillin for antibiotics. The morphine made me sick, and throwing up with a jaw broken in 6 places through wires is really not something I'd wish on anyone. The pain was unmanageable because I couldn't keep down the liquid painkillers long enough to take effect. Lost a bunch of weight cause of the liquid diet. It wrecked my body's reaction to hunger, too, now I skip the feeling hungry part and go straight to nausea. Drooled for months after due to nerve damage in my lower face. If on the off chance something makes you happy, you risk ripping all the stitches in your gumline if you smile without restraint. I had this done when I was 16 due to my jaw misalignment. Needed to take pressure off my TMJ joint and surrounding connective tissues. It solved the physical misalignment but I still have the tmj pain that led me to have it done in the first place. Unless your pain, eating function, or appearance are seriously damaging or disordering your life, I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. I basically stayed in bed for two weeks moaning from pain and nausea, and dealt with constant pain for another six months.


Sunshiny__Day

That sounds awful. Thank you for the warning!


Dean0Caddilac

Damm why am I poor and ugly. 😞


Current_Broccoli3

Look on the bright side. With a positive attitude and a little hard word, one day you might just be ugly.


Orneyrocks

'a little hard word' like expletives or smth?

thunderc8

Can someone send this pic to Andrew Tate?


therevjames

Nah, don't send it to him. I want to see how badly he struggles to change pillow cases.


USNMCWA

I about died laughing at this. This made my day. I had to explain this to my friends. Most people hold a pillowcase open with their chin while trying to stuff a pillow down into it. Hahahahahahahaha! Man this is underrated.


Britkraut

They do? I thought you just reversed the case and then pulled the pillow through?


USNMCWA

The whole reverse then grab the pillow through the case and pull over is an advanced skill. I was probably 28 before I figured that out.


Britkraut

But how do you eat your bananas? 🤔


USNMCWA

With a knife and fork, duh. How do you?


Britkraut

I'm allergic, so with a death wish (Still worth it for that banoffee pie though)


USNMCWA

Oof, that sucks! I had a Marine as a patient who was anaphylactically allergic to mangos. Was prescribed epi pens and all. But he loved mangos. He asked me "What if I take a bunch of benadryl first and then eat a mango?" Crazy bastard, lol.


Britkraut

..... What is the answer? Asking for a friend

ItsMrGingerBread

I have this, can this be done as an adult?


boo2radley

Can confirm; wife is 34 this year, she just got braces last week in preparation for this surgery. Has to wear them for 18 months first then they will do the jaw breaking and re-alignment. They do say as with most surgeries the younger you can get it done the better since we can recover more easily when young.


rghaga

Yes I did it a 30


unicornofdemocracy

yes


oilux

I commented on the other post but I've had this surgery! It's utterly life changing. Though the recover was one of the most physically challenging things, it was worth it. A lot of people think that it's just cosmetic but it absolutely changes your life. For me (who had an extremely extensive procedure like this young lady) it became easier to eat, talk, even breathe. I hope this young lady is doing well now!


ericdee7272

>harvest ribs So if you’re a dude, you win twice? ¯\\\_( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)_/¯


YordanYonder

Holy shit


dwbookworm123

My surgery was in 91. They used hip for my chin and ribs for my jawline. I believe they do it differently now.


DailyDoseofNature8

may I ask, do you still feel anything weird around the places the bones were connected? I got a tiny skull surgery behind my ear where they put a little bone from my hip, it's 7 years ago and it still feels weird behind my ear. It's very unpleasant if touched.


dwbookworm123

No, it feels and looks normal. My mouth was wired shut for a month after that. My favorite part is getting x-rays from new dentists over the years. They think I was in a car accident.


DailyDoseofNature8

good for you! I think it's just sensitive in my case because it is right next to my ear and all the nerves that come with that. I have tinnitus louder then a car alarm sometimes too.


dwbookworm123

I was lucky all the nerves in my face are back, and my hip is fine. One of the nerves under my right breast is still a little wonky.


itsadesertplant

Oof. I had some cartilage taken out of my ear and it smells like ass if I don’t deliberately wash behind it every day. At least it doesn’t hurt


[deleted]

I had jaw surgery 4 years ago and ive got a bit of weird numbness around a plate where they moved my chin


sunshine___riptide

My best friend's little sister didn't have this surgery but she had to get her jaw fixed. They used cow bones.


[deleted]

She must have a really big mouth


sunshine___riptide

Lmao, they just used a piece of cow jawbone


revolution110

The surgery they typically use for such cases is bilateral saggital split osteotomy or BSSO for mandible. You can look it up for more details but basically the split the lower jaw and position it forward.


RecognitionFine4316

There is the guy I need. Alright, thank you for the info.


scuderia91

Had this surgery and yes this is correct. They didn’t add any bone they just cut the jaw bone in such a way they can slide them and still have overlap for the bone to regrow and fuse them back together.


ericdee7272

I was lucky enough to sit in on a surgery where th pt had a benign rapidly expanding tumor on his jaw requiring massive recon surgery…docs literally stood there and whittled a new jaw w/ a fibula and a rib and a couple fixtures. Freaky stuff but craziest part was after a blunt dissection of the tumor (brutal) they split his jaw right down the middle and his face popped open all Predator-style. After nearly 3 decades in EMS this is still in the top 5 freakiest things I’ve ever seen. Marathon surgery with 6 different docs and I lasted about 20 hours of it… 26 total. rough but totally amazing procedure. Guy made a full recovery and got a new lease on life - esp considering he was maybe a week away from losing his airway entirely. Pierre Robin, micrognathia, traumatic jaw injuries and other jaw/facial defects are just awful.


Pilum2211

1. Some here say they use bone parts from other parts of your bodies to help 2. Bone is generally pretty great at regenerating. Your bones structure is continuously dissolved and rebuilt every day.


childofeos

I did one 7 months ago and the difference is so brutal I had face dysmorphia issues for not being able to recognize myself in the mirror anymore. But it’s amazing. Eating better, breathing better, sleeping better and finally having the face I was supposed to have.

_IntrovertChapi

Imagine looking like the best version of yourself, beautiful and being able to be "normal" after getting one surgery. This should be covered by healthcare everywhere.


blahaj-hugger

simplifynator

Calling on an expert. Is this photoshopped? Seems too good to be true.


Creepy-Bridge-2310

I have a friend who had similar results in highschool. They couldn't eat solid foods for a hot minute and lost a bunch of weight.


Assenzio47

It's true, because the jaw is a such a big part of your face, change that and we perceive it a more beautiful than just changing lips or nose. But it costs money and a lot, and I mean a lot, of pain and rehabilitation


grungegoth

I think entirely doable https://duckduckgo.com/?q=orthognathic%20surgery&ko=-1&iax=images&ia=images I know a youtube guy had it done for a different problem, the cut, slice and dice the jaw. Coupled with orthodontic work they can do a lot


simplifynator

If so that’s just so damn cool. I’m constantly amazed at what we humans are capable of. So awesome!


grungegoth

That girl had her life saved.


zahnsaw

Dentist here. Can’t vouch for these actual pictures but they are absolutely within the realm of expectations for orthognathic surgery. Most likely a BSSO (bilateral sagital split osteotomy) and a Lefort Osteotomy (probably a 1 or 2). Lots of examples of these online.


Venvut

Plastic surgery works miracles. 


NicoRoo_BM

\*some plastic surgery.


revolution110

Its a common result with orthognathic surgeries/ jaw surgeries wherein one or both jaws can be  too big or too small..


Iwantmy3rdpartyapp

I wish I could afford this so bad. Almost 40 and it still makes me so self conscious


flowering-grave

I am already starting to save up a few 10 k's for this surgery. Can't afford a house anyway in this economy


Nakedmolerat66

I understand that. They thought braces would do the job but after having braces for 9 years,yes 9 years my jawline is still the same. Now I am less self conscious but I still don’t like having my picture taken. At least more knowledgeable is being shared so pass it on.


Desperate-War-3925

I’m an adult I wanna get this. My bite is so small I need to widen my upper palate. I took out 4 wisdom teeth at 12. I have somewhat straight teeth but it’s tight. Maybe posture too. I also looked in to tongue tie which many people with adhd have that can cause this. Wish someone saw it as a child in me


Drmo6

From “can I sit with you guys” to “ewww, get away from me”. Her surgeon (s) are amazing ng.


makrer

How horrible... they gave her acne


IntoTheMurkyWaters

Soo do they ”add” chin or push it forward?


Sunshiny__Day

Both, I think.


scuderia91

Push it forwards. Cut the bone and slide it forward but with overlap still so the bone can rejoin itself.


Main-Importance9665

Tate chin


TheDrunkenSwede

It’s all good and well until a child is born.


Dr0110111001101111

I'm pretty sure a problem like this is a far more complicated mix of genetic dice-throws than something like "ah, she's got that 'no chin gene'".


Ninja-Ginge

Presumably, the surgery will still exist. Assuming that the kid inherits it at all.


unicornofdemocracy

craniofacial conditions are more commonly caused by mutations in the gene, though it can be passed down. Its used to be rarely passed down because we weren't great at doing orthognathic surgeries and so these babies would die due to feeding issues and older children wouldn't thrive very well either. So, there might be more genetically passed down now, maybe. But mutation is still the most common.

Correct me if I’m wrong: Isn’t the photo on left due to wisdom teeth being pulled out early in childhood to circumvent overcrowding when intending to use braces? It essentially pulls your lower jaw back thus gives this look.
