F/30/5’6″ [220 lbs > 140 lbs = 80lbs] 7/1/22-current

I had upper jaw surgery (9 mm expansion so nose, cheekbones, etc ALL change as well) in the middle of my weight loss journey. I was looking through old photos and noticed how much my face has changed! My face has always been EXCEPTIONALLY round no matter what I weighed so to me it’s insane to see my face NOT look like a bowling ball. I genuinely believe it’s 80% surgery & 20% weight… so I posted to the jaw surgery page l’m on and asked if anyone else had drastic changes from the same surgery. WAYYY too many people are discrediting the surgery & putting the facial changes entirely on weightloss. It made me curious if people who have actually gone through a weight loss journey could clock it: how much weight do you think has been lost between the two photos? Hint: the photo on the left was NOT taken at my highest weight and the photo on the right was this morning. Whether anyone recognizes it or not – I am DAMN proud of myself for losing 80 lbs and even MORE proud of myself for undergoing jaw surgery. Shit is not for the weak! 💪🏼
