Brielle Biermann went under the knife recently, and it looked painful!
In a recent post she made on Instagram, the 24-year-old daughter of Kim Zolciak posted pictures of herself post-surgery. Brielle had a “double jaw surgery” late last month to correct some issues.
A Difficult Time

The first three photos showed her lying on the hospital bed with tubes attached to her mouth and oxygen to help her breathe. The fourth upload in the series featured Brielle holding a big syringe to her mouth that contained water. Her cheeks were all puffy from the surgery, and she could barely talk properly, let alone eat solid food. Meanwhile, the following snaps showed the influencer out of the hospital and in her house. She showed off the progress by posing sideways in both pics. A swipe to the right showed Brielle taking a short clip of her face, which had bruises.
In the last three snaps, Brielle took the time to show off her newly healed jaw and new braces.
The Reason Behind The Surgery

“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,” Brielle wrote in the caption.
She also thanked the people behind her surgery and the ones who helped her get through the pain:
“I was completely dreading this surgery fearing the worst of the worst but thankfully with my positive mindset, strong family & friends support system, @tbtofga IV’s & my incredible doctors (Dr. Kuhmichel & Dr. Maron!!!! BEST OF THE BEST I SWEAR I’m so thankful for them!!!) 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.”

Brielle also added a little back story about her journey.
“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!!” she explained. “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!!! i keep telling Tracey please don’t let me get hungry enough to where you blend a burger.. that sounds so gross lol but i did blend Mac n cheese and ravioli already and let me tell you.. deeeeeliciousssss. but never again. i think it was all the pain meds lol. anyways, that’s what’s been happening in my life the past 2 weeks. 4 more til i can eat pasta and soft foods and 3 months til pizza!!! counting down the days literally.”
Fans and friends took the time to show their love and support for Brielle by commenting on the post.
“You are the toughest cookie I know! So proud of you!!! It’s only up from here!!!!” her mom wrote.
