I didn't really mean to focus on appearance. I guess I was hoping the swelling would go down more quickly because it feels like a leech on my jaw. It's good to know I will be able to tell my long-term physical appearance in six months. The further I get away from surgery, the less I care about my looks and my scars. I earned them. I just want this swollen part to shrink because of how it feels. So sorry for what you went through and thank you so much for founding this organization and for the forums. It's like a lifeline for me.
