Moved both jaws forward 14mm
recovery time varies. Good amount of pain for 2 weeks or so.

guide wires for 6 weeks+

lack of movement still going on but getter better. considering having second followup surgery to remove excess scar tissue.

numbness on and off still but considerably better after 10 months

would do it in a heartbeat again. A customer of mine who is 33 and on cpap had a heart attack the other day and is doing better. MMA is a small price compared to a heart attack.

I would ask the surgeons what happened in my case and is lack of range of motion something you should be aware of.
