Is Brielle Biermann OK? 'Don't be tardy' star shares pics after double jaw surgery
'Don't Be Tardy' alum Brielle Karenna Biermann announced on Monday, September 6, that she underwent double jaw surgery aka a bi-maxillary osteotomy to improve her 'TMJ and 9mm overjet overbite.'
On Instagram Biermann shared the pictures and wrote, "Sooooo… i had double jaw surgery on august 23 to correct my tmj & 9 mm overjet overbite. this was NOT for aesthetics but for quality of life. I sucked my thumb til i was 9 ishhh which made the roof of my mouth suuuuuper narrow and my excessive overbite cause my teeth to have no contact whatsoever. have you ever thought about what it’s like to not be able to bite into pizza? or omg trying to bite into an onion on a burger? impossible for me. i had to use my tongue to help me chew and almost choked every time i ate. that lisp some of y’all complained about? thank the overbite for that as well. i was so scared… i was completely dreading this surgery fearing the worst of the worst but thankfully with my positive mindset, strong family & friends support system." She further added, "i got thru the first two weeks, which are supposed to be the hardest, easy breezy! i already feel more aligned and can breathe way better, especially at night when i would snore and have to breathe thru my mouth."

She added, "I got my braces put on in November (SO NO VENEERS CLEARLY!) and tried my hardest to hide them because honestly, who at 24 years old wants to look like they did in middle school again? not me! I was told in august 2020 if i did not get braces and get this surgery i would crack my back 4 teeth and never be able to eat again by the time i was 27 so i really had no option… and man am i so thankful i did it already!! eating thru a syringe has really sucked now im on to baby spoons and soups or smoothies thru a cup but it’s still difficult. if you have any recipes for food that tastes good blended please let me know!!!" She further commented on her post, "I also left out I’ve lost 13 pounds and weigh 122 pounds now. I feel like a twig and have lost my ass. anyone know when i can hit the gym? lol."
