A brave lady recently revealed her remarkable transformation after undergoing jaw surgery that cost R120K.

Jaw-dropping transformation

The video begins with TikTok user Cleopatra Phoku sharing the before images, where she faced challenges with her jawline and facial structure. Then, through a series of images and clips, she takes us on her journey of jaw reconstruction surgery.

The after photos have left viewers amazed by the dramatic change. Her jawline is now beautifully defined, and her facial features are balanced. The lady’s newfound confidence shone through as she looked happier in the clip.

In an exclusive comment to Briefly News, Phoku said:

"I didn’t know anything about the surgery. I only wanted to get my teeth aligned so when I went to my first appointment by the orthodontist they mentioned that I should go see a maxillofacial surgeon regarding my bite.

"When I got there my surgeon said should I get braces and then it would be a must for me to get jaw surgery because the braces would create more of a gap. Intially, I went for it because I wanted to fix my bite and my teeth but my jaw was my biggest insecurity."
