All the oral surgery teaching programs that I am semi-familiar with would do a chin implant/surgery. Technically speaking, it is likely an easier procedure than orthognathic surgery…

My brother and I had braces, but out of TOTAL necessity.
They’re a pain in the butt, but I see nothing wrong with people who will put in the effort to brighten up the way they look, as teeth and smiles are one of the most impacting factors of a first impression.
Personally, I feel like the two can’t be compared, really, becaues, as I said, braces are a lot of effort, and it’s not really as unnatural as cutting things out and putting stuff in. I mean, we already have the teeth, but who ever heard of someone being born with silicone inside of them?
Still, I should point out that I am not against plastic surgery, up to a point. I think that it’s perfectly fine to correct things here and there, I just don’t think that we really need the Pamela Andersons of the world… I don’t want to sound bitchy, but there’s just something about that exaggerated stuff that creeps me out.
Of course, I feel the exact same about people who get their teeth filed down and such. If you were to get cosmetic dental surgery and then diss plastic surgery, I’d definitely have something snarky to say about it!

A couple of issues:
1: Have you had a sleep study? It is very important to know your AHI. This will classify the severity of your OSA (obstructive sleep apnea).
2: The sleep study will be able to determine the type of OSA you have and rule out Centrally Mediated Sleep Apnea. If you are an adult, the Centrally Mediated is unlikely, but possible.
3: Try other options to treat your OSA. Surgery is always an option but should be considered if other treatments fail.
4: Recovery process is like most other surgeries, post-op discomfort, swelling, etc.
5: If, and some surgeons don’t, your jaw is wired it will be for a short time.
6: The surgeon will typically use some hardware to hold your jaw/chin in it’s new position. This hardware will be left for life (normally).
7: Please consult a Pulmonary/Sleep specialist, ask for referral to an Oral Surgeon/ENT surgeon and also consult with an Orthodontist concerning your tooth position post-op.

Hope this helps. I’ll check back later.

If your friend doesnt have any problems with speech,breathing,pain or chewing right now, she should reconsider going in for jaw surgery, because the surgery is pretty major for just aesthetic purposes-unless her doctor believes she will have problems with her jaw in the future.
In my case, my lower jaw protruded and was misaligned. I had chewing problems and some pain in my lower jaw before surgery.
When I got jaw surgery done, my mouth was shut by rubberbands all around my teeth for one and a half weeks. It depends on the doctor and how major the surgery is, but during that time, your friend cannot chew and is on a liquid diet. (may lose some weight) She also cannot talk.
I didnt experience any pain after my surgery. I felt a little uncomfortable and had discomfort without pain medication, but no pain. You wont really see clear results up to months after the surgery because of swelling around the jaw, but every person is different, and her doctor may give her a type of steroid to decrease the swelling. Your friend will need someone to take care of her for a couple weeks 24/7. Eating and writing to communicate are inconvenient, but she’ll get used to it. The recovery process is pretty bothersome but her doctor and her nurse should explain the process thoroughly before surgery.
Also, risks of surgery may be numbness around her chin and her upper lip. It may last for months, but it also may be permanent.
She should take all these factors into consideration for her surgery, but personally, I believe it was all worth it with my jaw problems and also aesthetically. It may seem scary and a lot to take in, but as long as she has a good support system, and her doctors and nurses, she should be fine!

It is extremely helpful, and it has information about orthoganic surgery, the process, recovery, care, and recipes!
Hope this helps and good luck to your friend :]

Cosmetics cannot, in my view, be viewed as a science. It is more akin the a highly specific and skilled trade.

That such procedures can alter appearance is obvious but the question is does the change always lead an “improvement”?

When cosmetic procedures yield the desired result (not always the case) AND when healing occurs without any tissue distortion (definitely not always the case), the results are usually pleasing.

When healing does not go as planned/desired, the outcome can be quite garrish with distorion of features, formation of thick unsightly scars, infections.

I would suggest NOT considering such surgery as guaranteed to yield good results. It has a chance of failure and this needs always to be kept in mind – the final product could be worse than it was at the outset.

HCG was banned by the FDA last month as a fraudulent product for weight loss.
It doesn’t matter which brand, they are all out there just to take your money so it doesn’t matter which lotion you use.

Chloe Adisson answers:

According to the “protocol” for this diet you are supposed to do minimal exercise with such a low caloric intake.
A 500 calorie per day diet is considered anorexic. Mix it with a hormone from pregnant women’s urine and you get a miracle diet!
All over the counter hcg products were announced as illegal and fraudulent by the FDA on January 24, 2011. Testing concluded that all over the counter oral and injection products on the market have little to no real hcg in them but most a similar synthetic hormone. I was in GNC two weks ago. They carry three brands of hcg drops and not one of them has any hcg in them. The well trained salesman even admitted it when I mentioned it. They contained “similar hormones” or amino acids.
Anyone that lost weight especially with the drops did it because they ate fewer calories than they burned. The hcg acted as the placebo to help them lose the weight.
The only approved use for hcg is to increase fertility in both men and women.
Next year will mark 60 years since this fraudulent science was started.
The doctors exploiting this benign hormone with the ability to prescribe injections can’t even agree on how it works. Some say it releases stored fat calories into the system. Others say it acts as an appetite suppressant.
Neither explanation justifies the weight loss in the individuals taking the oral drops with NO hcg in them that still lost weight. I am confident the hcg diet has a 95% failure rate just like every other controversial diet plan out there.
By the way, the expensive “clinical injections” are not covered by insurance since it is not FDA approved. What doctor wouldn’t want to get an “all cash” practice going?
Check out these clips before going further. Just aired a few months ago.

Http://www.doctoroz.com/videos/weight-loss-controversy-hcg-diet-pt-1

So the question is are you willing to risk your health with an extreme diet treatment based on testimonial evidence as opposed to clinical research evidence, and the statements from doctors in this all cash business?

Chloe Adisson answers:

I’m doing the HCG diet right now following the 21 Day program from http://prohcgdiet.com As per the instruction I got, you can use lotion and make up during the HCG protocol. With all of your personal care and beauty products, you need to check the ingredients and avoid any products the contain food oils. Most solid deodorants contain castor oil, which is not allowed…. Currently I am using Pantene products for the hair. I changed my lotion to Neutrgena oil free face lotion but use this for hand and body lotion as well. I changed my soap to liquid Zest. I did not change my shave gel either. No issues that I can see and I get all products at Wal-Mart.

Chloe Adisson answers:

Better no to waste your money.
“500-calories per day is severely restrictive! In fact, it is not enough calories to support normal brain function. Your body will compensate by using stores of glycogen, protein (muscle) and some fat, which lowers your resting metabolism. Before you can lose true weight, you will be so irritable, lightheaded, and cranky that you’ll reach for whatever food you can get your hands on and have a field day.

There is no scientific evidence supporting HCG as a weight loss strategy. The FDA has required all marketing and advertising of HCG to state the following: “HCG has not been demonstrated to be effective adjunctive therapy in the treatment of obesity. There is no substantial evidence that it increases weight loss beyond that resulting from caloric restriction, that it causes a more attractive or ‘normal’ distribution of fat, or that it decreases the hunger and discomfort associated with calorie-restricted diets.”

I lost 16 pounds in 24 days with the Hcg diet I bought form prohcgdiet.com The Hcg deit in general starts out with 2 days of “loading” which means you can eat anything you want and as much as you want! I did burgers, pizza, ice cream, fried chicken and more. Talk about feeling guilty!

Anyway, on day 3 I started the VCLD (very low calorie diet). On day 4 I woke up to a 3lb loss and then the next day it was almost 2 pounds! When you are dropping weight like that it real easy to stay motivated. I cheated some and still had great weight loss results. I have tried a lot of different diets and this one was actually pretty easy and most of all, FAST! Good Luck!

Chloe Adisson answers:

HCG is an acronym for the hormone Human Chorio Gonadotropin, which is
found in both men and women, though pregnant women have the highest
levels of HCG in their bodies.
The HCG hormone can be made synthetically or extracted from a
pregnant woman’s urine and then processed for use by other humans.
Advocates of the HCG diet believe that, by strict dieting
and taking daily injections of HCG, people can successfully lose
weight. They say that dieters following the HCG
diet should expect to lose somewhere between a half pound and 3 pounds
(.23 to 1.36 kilograms) each day on the low-calorie, high-fiber plan.
You consume a mere 500 calories a day on this diet.
They say that that combining the
low-calorie diet with the HCG hormone injections will lead to
immediate weight loss without the common side effects of many
diets, such as hunger pains, headaches and nausea. They
believe that because the HCG injections burn fat, the hormone provides
the body with necessary energy while reducing hunger and keeping the
body out of starvation mode.
Anybody eating that little is bound to lose weight, of course, and
many people found out that injection did not make it easier to bear
hunger.
And the drug lacks substantial research, so exposing your body to such
a restrictive diet may not be in your best interests.
The original HCG diet plan is quite restrictive and particular. For
breakfast, you can have only tea or coffee without sugar. The diet
puts a one-tablespoon limit on how much milk you can consume each day,
so if you require milk with your coffee and tea, you’ll want to keep
this in mind. For lunch and dinner, you can cook 100 grams (.22
pounds) of lean meat or seafood and pair it with one vegetable from
this list of 13: asparagus, beet greens, cabbage, celery, chard,
chicory, cucumbers, fennel, green salad, onions, red radishes, spinach
and tomatoes. For lunch and dinner, you can eat one toast cracker and
an orange, apple, half a grapefruit or strawberries.
Administration of the hormone is usually through two methods — either an oral
supplement or a liquid injection.
The FDA has approved HCG injections for use in fertility issues, but not in dieting.
There are a few dangers that come with injecting HCG into your body.
As with any injected medication, the potential for blood clots exists. Some women
who have injected HCG have experienced a serious condition called
ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), which can be deadly.
Other less serious side effects might be headaches and
depression. Young boys taking HCG might experience premature puberty.
Pregnant or nursing women could cause harm to their
babies if the hormone is passed on.
And although advocates claim that HCG keeps the body functioning
properly, a diet of 500 calories is below any healthy amount
recommended by most doctors. Weight loss is almost guaranteed when
you’re eating so much less than the recommended daily allowance, but
you may risk your health. And although the HCG is supposed to help
with side effects, in one study the HCG injections showed no different
feelings or results than a placebo injection.
