I don't know if this counts, but my husband had broken his jaw and it had to be wired shut. That is a form of jaw surgery- it has to be done by an oral surgeon.
It was wired shut for several months. He couldn't open his mouth, had to use a water pick to clean his mouth, and had to eat shakes at every meal.
Of course, shakes at every meal sounds pretty good, but after days and weeks of only shakes, you start badly wanting some real food.
The scariest part was that they gave him wire cutters to keep on him at all times. Why? In case he got sick. Got to be able to open your mouth when you get sick.
I know that sounds pretty awful, but what else can you do with a broken jaw? It was worth it to get healed up, that's for sure.
I don't know if this is what you were looking for in an answer, but that's all I know about any sort of jaw surgery.
