Next Step: Jaw Surgery
You may decide that jaw surgery is the next (and hopefully last) step in your sleep health journey. It’s important to do your due diligence and rule out lifestyle factors like sleep hygiene, exercise, nutrition, and stress management, improve oral motor behavior, and address any other factors that may be impacting your sleep breathing and quality before signing up for jaw surgery to address sleep apnea. Addressing these factors before surgery will allow a faster recovery and better sleep quality after surgery.
After you’ve decided on jaw surgery, choosing the right jaw surgeon is crucial. Meet with several surgeons. Take your time. Ask good questions. Know what you’re signing up for. Hire the most qualified surgeon you can find – don’t compromise. Once you’ve chosen a jaw surgeon and date, our Jaw Surgery Preparation service is here to assist you!
Ready, Set, Recover
Preparing for jaw surgery can be overwhelming, but with proper preparation, you can improve your outcomes, reduce healing time, and increase comfort. Our Jaw Surgery Preparation service is designed to equip you with the knowledge and tools you need to navigate this process with confidence. Drawing from crowd-sourced experiences and expert insights, we provide comprehensive guidance on crucial aspects such as logistical planning, realistic healing timelines, and caregiver support recommendations.
Our service goes beyond the basics, offering practical advice on food and supplement preparation to ensure optimal nutrition during your recovery. We’ll introduce you to products that other patients have found invaluable and share movement recommendations to aid in your healing process. By setting accurate expectations and helping you prepare thoroughly, we aim to minimize stress and maximize your readiness for both the surgery and the recovery period.
Remember, while this service offers invaluable support, it’s not a substitute for medical advice. We encourage you to direct specific medical questions to your surgeon and, when necessary, we can refer you to a nutritionist for personalized dietary guidance. Please note that this is not a physical therapy service.
