Why do I
want to do the surgery?
I have
never tasted ramen because my bite is not stable that I cannot chew the food
with front teeth. During the growth period, my jaws have grown too much. ㅠㅠ I was so uncomfortable to break
the food down with my tongue and upper teeth.. I was always dissatisfied with
the appearance of my face, My life has been like this so I decided
to go to double jaw surgery. There are also some hospitals that they do not
allow me to consult with a doctor. I have been searching the hospital
information from the internet and blog and visited many of hospital for the
consultations. Finally, I visited the EU for my last chance, and Dr. Shin
explained the operation in detail. I knew that it was major surgery and I feel
comfortable after the consultation with the doctor

Day
My throat
hurts a lot as I read in another review. It was difficult to breathe because of
the swelling, but I tried to take a deep breath.. The nurse and doctor
frequently visited and calmed me down that this symptom happens frequently
after surgery. After a few hours, I got better. It is difficult to sleep
because I cannot lay down and sleep while I am sitting down. I want to sleep
comfortably and sleep well.

Days
It is much
more comfortable than yesterday. It is very easy to breathe through the nose to
get rid of it. From this morning, I drink newcare, but the flavor is similar to
that of soy milk. I have not been able to fulfill the hunger feeling, but it is
much more comfortable. Today, the doctor disinfected in the morning, and he
came to the recovery room and checked it thoroughly. I was relieved to know
that I had a good operation and that I should not worry about it.

At 7
o'clock in the morning, I was awakened and I was treated with deswelling laser.
I took the antibiotics and removed the needles from my arm. Before I got
discharged, the doctor checked my body condition. He said I am recovering well,
so I got discharged from the hospital.

I woke up
in the morning and felt that my face was less tingling than yesterday. I looked
in the mirror and it seemed that less swell than yesterday too! I visited the
hospital to get laser treatment every day and when I walk outside it made me
feel very refreshed. Today I went to the convenience store and bought apple
juice. I am trying to eat a variety of things because I cannot stand it by
drinking only the new care. It is very delicious to blend it together with some
banana & almond breeze and some ice.

It has
already been a week since I had surgery. I feel sure that it gets better day by
day. I can felt that The sensation of tingling on his face also shrunk, and
swelling was much reduced. I still cannot adapt to my appearance so I want
someone to look in the mirror. My chin fits comfortably and my lips look
pretty. I have a swollen face, so I look fat. I am curious about the appearance
after the swelling is lost. It is the hardest to hungry these
days. ㅠ I
have too much to eat but it is painful because I cannot eat it. I want to eat
meat with the front teeth

Days
I visited
the hospital for the first-week checkup after the surgery. After disinfection,
I removed the rubber band which stayed inside of my mouth. It was much easier
to open my mouth and I was not able to speak well yet because of the rubber
band. But after removing the rubber band I can speak well. After removing the
rubber band, it became easier to brush the teeth.

As the day
passes, my face is getting deswelling pretty fast.. I look forward to seeing
the mirror in the morning. After removing the rubber band hanging on the screw,
the inconvenience was much reduced, and the number of things to eat increased.
But today, I speak too much that my muscles are a little stiff and it hurts. I
have to be careful.

Two weeks
have already passed after surgery. I really pleased that when people make a
compliment about my appearance and it seems like they like my face more than
me! I visited the hospital today and remove my stitch out! Dr. said I am
recovering very well! And I must have to remove the wafer when I eat food!
However, I cannot chew any food yet that I only can drink soft food! Start From
today, I will go to practice jaw exercise every day so I can recover faster!

I do not
need to wear a mask anymore since my face is deswelling a lot from the surgery.
Also, I can go to café and drink coffee with Tiramisu cake! Since this cake is
so soft that I do not need to chew. I am used to with habit that I have to
remove the wafer when I eat the food. Especially, I love it when other people
take pictures for me since I do not need to cover my lantern chin! I saw the
picture that my friend took it for me! WOW! I am really satisfied with my
picture!

I met my
friends and that was the first time after 2 years! They were really shocked by how
much I changed and they told me that I look handsome than the previous time!
Also, I do not need to blend the food and I can swell the food like porridge
and I can eat more various foods than before! Since I cannot exercise and eat a
lot of food that I lose weight a lot… L I even lose some of the muscles too! I wish that I
can exercise as soon as possible!
