Hello all!

Okay I'm not feeling like typing out a storm but I wanted to share some flashbacks of the past year in pictures since I haven't done this. I'll try to find some good profile shots :)

  1. Looking AWESOME Terra!!! I love your photos - thank you for sharing them. If you don't mind me asking, what type of foundation do you use? :)

    1. Thank you beautiful :)
      The foundation I usually use and what i have on in most of my pictures here is vichy dermablend. It's designed for sensitive skin with pigmentation problems but I find the coverage is flawless. The only think I don't like about it is that it comes in only 5 shades i think so if i get some sun my foundation doesn't match anymore and the next shade up is much darker.

  2. You look gorgeous!! What a blessing to have everything over with! You don't look as swollen as I do still, why! share some of that luck with me, would you? Lol. My cheeks are still so big! Any suggestions?

    I love reading your posts, your blog really saved me while I was preparing/going through the whole process, thank you! :)

    1. Aw thank you :) It feels so good to be done with the whole process. It's so slow. lol
      I've had the same issues with a lot of residual swelling in my cheeks. They're going down more and more but one cheek is still really swollen. I guess you could compare it to a rhinoplasty where it really takes at least a year for the swelling to go away so hopefully over time our cheeks will go down.

      So glad I could be of help :)
      How far along are you now?

  3. I have to say you were beautiful before surgery, but you are just glowing in the post-op pictures!!!! There is such an air of confidence about you and i really love that you can see it in pictures:) I hope that's true of me too, now! Congrats on everything, and I am so glad that you got the results you wanted, because you truly do look great! I just have to tell you that your blog helped me SO much when I was preparing to have my double jaw surgery,and even after. It was so comforting to know someone else was going through all of these things just like me. So thank you! And i totally agree, your skin is flawless<3 haha

    1. Aw thank you so much Stephanie :)
      I think that first you go through an adjustment phase but later on you end up feeling really comfortable with yourself and it starts to show.
      I've gotten really good at covering my skin issues because I had a lot of breakouts post op. I'm still breaking out on my forehead and I'm really hoping it goes away soon. I think that's another common side effect. How long have you been post op? Hope you've had a fast and easy recovery :)

  4. Well all I can say is WOW you look extremely beautiful, hope to undergone the same procedure the way you did, it is not a miracle though it just lets out the natural beauty that you have inside. They unleashed it pretty good. Not like you I don't have the funds for the surgery lol, having that surgery would always be a dream for me. Anyway if you know any Surgeon or Dentistry organization that promotes free surgery or teeth correction, hit me back I would mean everything to me. thank you.. goodluck pretty love your smile. OMG
