Young Singer Reveals Her Double Jaw Surgery Journey, Leaving People Stunned by the Results

A singer known by the stage name ‘Aiela’ underwent double jaw surgery to correct long-standing complications from childhood cleft palate surgeries and a progressively worsening overbite. The dramatic procedure and its striking results have left people online stunned.

As a child, Alesia Konovalenko underwent three cleft palate surgeries, including a corrective procedure following complications from the second.

These early medical challenges affected the development of her facial bones and bite alignment. Years later, persistent ear pain prompted the singer to undergo double jaw surgery in March 2025 — a procedure that brought profound physical and emotional transformation.

“My initial desire was to have a beautiful smile because I’ve had overbite issues and my teeth were just acting out during my whole life,” says 24-year-old Konovalenko.

It wasn’t until recently that the full impact of her cleft palate history — and how it influenced the development of her face — became clear. During her early surgeries, there was limited awareness about preventative measures such as proper mouth posture or jaw exercises that might have helped avoid future bite complications.

The long-term impact of her cleft palate — and how it influenced her facial development — wasn’t fully understood until much later.

Konovalenko first got braces at the age of 12 and wore them until she was 16. “My teeth, they looked straight, but my overbite was still pretty big,” she explains. “So that basically was just like a cover-up.”

Two years ago, Konovalenko began experiencing frequent, unexplained earaches. While in her second round of braces, a gnathologist warned they could worsen her symptoms. Further evaluations confirmed her ear pain was linked to her overbite — and surgery was the only effective solution.

Konovalenko’s first week of recovery was challenging. For the first five days, she ate through a syringe before switching to a small spoon. She was surprised when her doctor cleared her for soft-chewed foods by day seven — especially since she had mentally prepared for a long-term liquid diet. The recovery, while difficult, brought mostly positive surprises.

Improvements began almost immediately after the surgery. “I breathe so much easier,” Konovalenko shared. “My smelling abilities increased geometrically so much that I might write a comic book about that.”

She was genuinely surprised by how open and effortless breathing became. Initially, she feared post-surgery numbness — especially in her chin and lower lip, where there’s always a chance feeling might not return. But just days after the procedure, she noticed tingling and burning sensations — encouraging signs of healing.

Her vocal tone has subtly shifted thanks to a more rounded palate, making singing feel smoother and more powerful. Pronunciation has also improved, a vital change for someone who uses their voice as their primary instrument.

Recently, another girl’s awe-inspiring journey, captured in a viral TikTok video that racked up 77.5 million views and more than 3.2 million likes.

Virginia’s story detailed the extensive process — from getting braces in March 2023 to undergoing double jaw surgery — and revealed the depth of her physical and emotional metamorphosis. It was this dramatic change that became the heart of her viral success, captivating millions across the globe.

With unfiltered honesty, Virginia shared images of the immediate aftermath, showing the extent of her facial swelling — a raw testament to the challenges she faced. Following the surgery, she was on a liquid diet and unable to chew during the early stages of recovery.

The comments section of Virginia’s TikTok video became a heartwarming testament to the positive impact her transformation had on viewers. Overwhelmed with support and admiration, the community showered her with messages like, “I could see the happiness in your smile post-op, congrats girl, you look amazing.” Others expressed sheer awe, saying, “That looks phenomenal,” underscoring the visual impact of her journey.
