99.255.230.211:03-26-09, 9:14pm:sara--is it expensive?
99.255.230.211:03-26-09, 9:14pm:sara--i cant afford it :'(
67.90.18.162:04-1-09, 7:23am:Adam Browne--It is expensive mine was $24,000. However, I think it is worth it.
65.66.126.138:04-1-09, 8:23am:Roman--How long did it take for the swelling to go away? you did lower jaw right?
65.66.126.138:04-1-09, 3:19pm:Roman--How many days did you spend in the hospital?
67.90.18.162:04-2-09, 8:14am:Adam Browne--It took about 3 days for swelling. I was there just for the day I came home at night time.
65.66.126.138:04-3-09, 8:22am:Roman--Just to confirm, your surgery was the bilateral saggital split osteotomy (BSSO) right?
67.90.18.162:04-3-09, 2:04pm:Adam Browne--Yeah how did you know?
88.105.228.79:04-13-09, 12:27pm:matt--hi im 16 from uk, i have an underbite, but im still unsure on whether to get the surgery done, after seeing some of the videos on youtube im still confused about what to do, i defo want to get it done but its all the recovery after and pain, can i have your views?
67.90.18.162:04-15-09, 3:18pm:Adam Browne--You are still young if I were you I would wait until you become 18 because you still might grow. That is my view.
86.96.226.87:04-18-09, 7:26am:Alec--Hi my name is Alec, i live in Dubai and i just recently found out what the hole problem with my jaw is (lower underbite) and now that i have to get surgery (in about a year, i recently got braces) i was really shocked to finaly understand this.. so i was doing research and i came across your page so i wanted to say Thank You its really motivational.. Thanx again
67.90.18.162:04-20-09, 11:18am:Adam Browne--I am glad my page was motivational for you
76.187.60.111:05-4-09, 7:55pm:David Johnson--You paid 24000 dollars out of pocket?
67.90.18.162:05-5-09, 12:28pm:Adam Browne--Unfortunately, yes I did. Although I was fortunate enough to have graduated from college and have a decent job so that I could pay that amount
68.48.173.83:05-20-09, 10:21am:elmer--how are the payments
68.48.173.83:05-20-09, 10:22am:elmer--could you pay by down payments?
70.121.155.139:06-1-09, 9:44am:Adam Browne--Yes, I have paid down all the payments
78.148.202.248:06-23-09, 1:41pm:mark--i just wanted to know how are you now after the surgery? im thinking of having it done but i am worried!
75.134.108.169:06-30-09, 7:55am:Adam Browne--I am very good after the surgery. I am happy and still get told how good I look after getting it done
72.148.65.51:06-30-09, 7:07pm:HOWARD--HI ADAM
72.148.65.51:06-30-09, 7:08pm:HOWARD--HOW ARE YOU?
75.134.108.169:07-2-09, 6:42am:Adam Browne--Hi Howard I am doing well. Do you like my page?
71.108.143.73:07-26-09, 7:52pm:Brian--How many days did you stay in the hospital?
97.102.118.193:08-5-09, 4:19pm:Adam Browne--Not a complete day. Just the night
63.214.229.115:08-7-09, 12:27am:selena--Im thinking about getting jaw surgery im just afraid of the harsh pain. Should i go for it?
97.102.118.193:08-7-09, 10:46am:Adam Browne--If you need it and can afford it then I say do it. The pain is not an issue IMO
69.66.165.65:08-18-09, 6:46am:mary--Hi Adam, my daughter is 17 and has an under bite and her bite is off set. How old do you have to be to have the jaw surgery? We live in Iowa and would like to know of a good oral surgeon.
97.102.118.193:08-18-09, 6:58am:Adam Browne--Normally you have be at least 18 years old in order to give your consent. Plus Oral Surgeons normally want to their patient to be finished growing so they won't have to have multiple surgeries.
72.196.211.219:08-25-09, 4:58pm:jamah murphy--hi, Adam! your speech seems to have improved with the surgery, is this something you have also noticed? Also did it do anything for you psychologically as far as confidence?
97.102.118.193:08-25-09, 5:23pm:Adam Browne--Yes, my speech did improve with surgery. It totally did improve my confidence and really helped me identify myself and my own individuality.
62.120.170.216:09-10-09, 12:22pm:Shamery--Hi Adam, I want do this surgery, can you send the hospital address plz.
97.102.118.193:09-10-09, 1:48pm:Adam Browne--1350 South Hickory Street
Melbourne, Florida 32901
321-434-7000
114.143.126.99:09-15-09, 1:51pm:sargum--hi adam ...i livein india ..i am 17..i hv 2 get surgery in a year or so ,i am just worried if der r chances dat ur face can get worse after surgery permenantly?? pls reply asap
97.102.118.193:09-17-09, 8:26pm:Adam Browne--As with all surgeries I am sure your face could get worse after permanently. However if you have a problem now, it is probably worth the risk.
78.105.246.115:09-23-09, 9:32am:Jaffa--I am still at school (final year) but thinking of getting this done, how long would I be out of school for do you know? How long were you out of school/work for?
97.102.118.193:09-24-09, 5:04pm:Adam Browne--I was out for a week and a half. I imagine you are going to be in the same boat as I was.
60.52.5.219:10-7-09, 3:42am:hamizan--hi..do we have 2 wear braces b4 surgery?
97.102.118.193:10-7-09, 4:03pm:Adam Browne--Yes I had to wear them before the surgery
124.82.36.195:10-8-09, 3:56am:hamizan--cant we have the surgery straight away?
194.8.75.52:10-11-09, 1:59pm:MsgzyynybSYbM--awegaw1.txt;2;5
97.102.118.193:10-11-09, 4:14pm:Adam Browne--You could get it right away but normally they want to make sure your bite is correct when your surgery is done.
68.235.146.58:10-21-09, 7:20pm:RebeccaBaumann--Hi. I am going to have corrective jaw surgery, but my friends are being very skeptical and I'd like to thank you for being such an awesome inspiration. It really means a lot.
89.248.129.228:10-25-09, 10:21am:Amanda Ryan--Hi Adam, am having similar braces / surgery soon, just wondered how long you had your braces on before surgery? And after? Looking good by the way, bet you're really pleased with the results :) :) :)
97.102.118.193:10-25-09, 4:14pm:Adam Browne--Yeah I am really pleased with the results. I had braces on for two years before the surgery.
130.243.162.217:10-30-09, 2:57pm:Henrik--Hi Adam. Looks like you got really good results from the surgery. Do you know how big your underbite was (in millimeters) before the surgery?
67.251.116.155:10-31-09, 9:10am:matt--Did you have TMJ before the surgery? Because im pretty sure i do, and thats why i want my jaw fixed. but im confused if it will make things worse
97.102.118.193:11-16-09, 6:24pm:Adam Browne--I am not sure how big my underbite was Henrik. I did not have TMJ before surgery matt. I do not think it will make things worse.
If anything it will make things better.
222.152.75.252:11-20-09, 4:41pm:janine--yay i feel more confident now about my jaw surgery. Thanks adam:D
97.102.118.193:11-21-09, 7:46am:Adam Browne--Thank you for sharing your story!
72.199.48.44:11-23-09, 11:51pm:kim--Hi Adam. I was wondering how long it took you to completely heal? And how long did it take you to eat regular food?
71.130.201.110:11-28-09, 3:22pm:Jenna--was your face really swollen when you got your surgery? what kind of food did you have to drink and for about how long did you have to drink your food? did you lose a lot of weight? i might be getting mine soon but im just worried because i have high metabolism and i dont get fat easily and lose weight easily :[
please help me out i have so much questions! thank you!
97.102.118.193:12-6-09, 8:21am:Adam Browne--Kim, it took me about 1 month to complete heal and that is also how long it took me to eat regular food
Jenna, My face was really swollen, I eat everything but used a blender first for about a month. I was skinny before and I am still skinny now
94.192.122.29:12-8-09, 12:21pm:abby--Hi Adam! You look great! My underbite case is really similar to yours, i wondered if you could tell me how long you had to have your braces on for before you had the operation ? Thanks ļ xx
97.102.118.193:12-8-09, 4:57pm:Adam Browne--Thank you. I had my braces on for about 2 years
94.225.178.71:12-27-09, 3:36pm:veronique--Hi, I am very afraid for permanent nerve damage. Luckely for you, it turned out all right for you, but have you heard recently of patients who had to deal with permanent nerve damage after a lower jaw surgery?
97.102.118.193:12-27-09, 3:55pm:Adam Browne--I have never encountered anyone personally that had permanent nerve damage. Most people that contact me about jaw surgery tell me they have had great results. However, I have heard that there is a small chance to have permanent nerve damage
199.2.112.76:01-13-10, 9:08pm:candies--Hi there, I have been watching lots of video¡¯s on YouTube. And I seen most of them got braces. So I m asking do you need braces before you do a surgery? Or you just can do a surgery without any braces. And I read your comments; most of them said that they got 1 year braces. Is that a must? Or what? I m 16 now, can I have a surgery? Or I must be 18 to have a surgery? If did a surgery this year(16) , will my underbite grow back when I m older? Thnx, pls msg me back and thanks for all your information. It really helps allot.
97.102.118.193:01-14-10, 5:41pm:Adam Browne--I had to wait until I was 18 until I could consent to get the surgery. If you get your parents to agree to it I am sure you could get it while you are younger. Personally, I would wait until I was 18 and could decide on my on personally. I believe having braces before for about 1 year is a must. You may be able to get braces now for like 2 years and get the surgery when you are 18
188.221.66.48:01-17-10, 5:02pm:EDGAR C.--did it really boost your confidence or your social life in anyway
97.102.118.193:01-18-10, 4:59pm:Adam Browne--yes. it totally boosted my confidence and improved my social life greatly
98.193.73.183:04-8-10, 8:26pm:Andy--going in for my osteo consult on Tuesday! same problem here!
190.35.104.38:05-1-10, 11:12pm:luca--hey there my name is Luca and one side of my jaw is kind of bent while the other is not (lower jaw)and my father is a plastic surgeon but I was wondering if I should go to an orthodontist and see if there is a better way to correct it
213.5.71.85:06-1-10, 3:20am:Moly--eu4wIW My name is Moly, i am a funny girl. This post is fake, hahaha.
122.57.64.252:06-21-10, 8:02pm:Lee Anne--Hi Adam, my names Lee Anne from NZ and I recently put out of my head the idea of having surgery.. main reason being that I'm worried I'd look different from what I do now and that worries me. I've competed in beauty pageants such as Miss Philippines NZ and have been told that I'm beautiful without surgery.. but sometimes I would get the occasional person who would notice the underbite and get offended which brings down my self esteem a little. Now my question is, Why did you choose to have the surgery? Did it bother you or people bother you about it? Thanks.
97.102.118.193:06-22-10, 4:34am:Adam Browne--Lee Anne, Yes it did bother me. People would notice my underbite from the side. Plus it was impossible to chew with the front of my mouth. I always used the back
120.28.123.62:06-23-10, 3:40am:awd--24,000?!
41.247.125.254:06-28-10, 1:41pm:Garth--Hey Adam cool website. Cool of you to put your experiences up. I've currently got an underbite that has bothered me for some time, i can feel my muscles tense because of my jaw pulled forward in my neck, shoulders and back. Did you have this and did it disappear after surgery? Ive had braces before, which i am told could be a reason for the underbite, also stress im told is a factor. What caused your underbite?
97.102.118.193:06-28-10, 4:13pm:Adam Browne--I never had the tense muscles but I did develop the underbite sometime at a young age. So there was really no reason for it other than a growth spurt or it developing naturally as a child. I hope when you get the surgery you get rid of that stress.
174.26.18.28:07-13-10, 8:18pm:nikky--Hi Adam, would you recommand dr timothy Lang for our oral surgery??
97.102.67.86:07-13-10, 8:28pm:Adam Browne--Yes I would highly recommend Dr. Timothy Lang. He did my jaw surgery and I am very happy with the outcome.
174.26.18.28:07-13-10, 9:47pm:nikky--Hi Adam , Sorry i forgot to ask you also if you lost any weight after the surgery and how many lbs was it?
97.102.67.86:07-14-10, 5:24pm:Adam Browne--Not really I was 160 around the time I had surgery and if anything I gained weight with all the milkshakes. Probably got up to 180. I am about 210 now.
