Macaiyla took to Twitter to tell fans she was “okay” after the surgery. She also took the opportunity to tell a few jokes about her new jaw, which had fans relieved that she was feeling well enough to make light of the situation.

Thnx for the nice comments I’m doing ok today. Not sure if they’re trying to suck me off but they said everyone at the table was shocked at my face. I’m just hoping they didn’t make my jaw too small. I still like a long jaw it’s good for head pic.twitter.com/tLbqesojzx

Why did Macaiyla get jaw surgery?

Some fans were confused as to the reason Macaiyla got the jaw surgery. A little while later, Macaiyla cleared everything up and explained that it wasn’t an elective surgery.

According to Macaiyla, she’s had “bite issues” since middle school. After getting braces, expanders, and rubber bands, her bite improved but it was still not right. Unfortunately, she couldn’t get jaw surgery yet because it’s only available from 18 years old and onward.

“So I am doing it now because the recommended age to get it done by is between 18 and 25. I am turning 25 this year. I was always recommended the surgery and head gear, but just never got to it,” Macaiyla continued.

I’ve had bite issues since I was in middle school around 12. My bite doesn’t look as bad anymore because I had braces, expanders, and rubber bands to help appear normal. You can’t get jaw surgery until you are 18 (that’s when it’s developed). So I had to wait but then I met Tyler

Macaiyla also told fans that she’d probably be “normal” again in a month. For now, fans will have to wait for an upcoming vlog on the jaw surgery. This should clear up more questions about her jaw, bite, and the process of the surgery.

Ummm so this is supposedly what the doctor sent me for my expected “after” results 🤨 crazy pic.twitter.com/nQMw1UjfQq

Until then, Macaiyla will most likely be resting and taking a break from her streaming schedule.
