Credit: SWNS / Izzy Sehon<br /><br />A woman bullied for looking like a "squirrel" underwent $200k surgery to replace her jaw - with STOMACH fat in her face - and now says she feels "beautiful".<br /><br />Izzy Sehon, 22, was two years old when her mum, Cherise Gerrard, 60, noticed her jaw wasn’t very pronounced and looked “different”.<br /><br />At eight years old the issues started to progress, and Izzy suffered a lot of jaw and joint pain.<br /><br />She went to countless orthodontists and has worn braces “about six times” in her life.<br /><br />In June 2020, a doctor finally realised she had idiopathic condylar resorption (ICR) – a rare condition that causes the bones in your jaw to breakdown.<br /><br />Izzy was told her face looked like “someone who had got blown up in war” as her TMG joint – the two joints which connect your lower jaw to your skull – was “non-existent”.<br /><br />She underwent bilateral total jaw joint replacement surgery in February 2023 - which involved cutting her jaw in four places, removing her original jaw, and replacing it with custom made prosthetics.
