Last week, 22-year-old Qinthara Fasya posted a 30-second video to TikTok that documented her double jaw surgery, starting with a countdown of “T-16 days” before her operation.
Before her operation, Fasya appears to have a severe underbite, to the point where her front teeth do not touch at all.
Only three weeks post-operation could she take out her mouth guard and finally eat some soft foods.
In response to comments asking her about the cost, Fasya shared that it cost her about $26,000 for the corrective double jaw surgery and another $5,000 for the braces she had tried out before.
So far, Fasya’s TikTok video has garnered nearly 10 million views.
Fasya posted a second video on Saturday, March 19, with more details on why she got her surgery, saying it was not merely an aesthetic decision but also because her severe underbite affected her ability to chew.

At the beginning, Fasya appears to have a severe underbite, to the point where her upper and lower front teeth do not appear to touch each other.
The video ends four weeks post-op, but along the way she admits to having “cried and broke down” three days before surgery. At three weeks post-op, she could take out her mouth guard and finally eat some soft foods.

Fasya posted a second video on Saturday, March 19, with more details on why she got her surgery, stating it was not merely an aesthetic decision, but also because it affected her ability to chew her food properly.
“I noticed sometimes I wasn’t eating at all,” Fasya confessed in reference to her underbite days.
In her most recent video, Fasya looks nearly healed and happy with the results of her surgery.
