Motivation
of the surgery
I stressed because my front teeth twisted
backward, and my gums were showing too much when I laughed. When I was in
middle school, my friend used to tease me how my chin looks and it hurt my
feelings. I did not even hear about it from my doctor, but I feel insecure
about my jaw. As I grew up, I felt my jaw was severely asymmetric.
When I took pictures with others, I did not
want to be part of it. Therefore, I always chose to take pictures for others,
turned my back, or covered my face. My brother visited the dentist for braces so I
go with him so I can improve my teeth with braces. But the doctor told me that the only
way to solve all my problems was double jaw surges. At that time, my parents
were so opposed to the surgery that I could not do it. However, I decided to do
double jaw surgery and I thought I'd prepare it to step by step.
< Before >
Why
EU?
When I heard that it was a case where I had
to do double jaw surgery, I spent three to four years wandering around related
cafes such as plastic surgery, dentistry, double jaw, and looking at the
hospital's website reviews and post-surgery photos, focusing on dentistry and
oral surgery. I've heard a lot from my acquaintances that Double jaw surgery
must be done in a university hospital...ᅮᅮ Also, there were some messages
saying that there were side effects from the surgery at the university
hospital, so I thought that the university hospital was not as safe as it was.
The biggest reason is that I want to improve asymmetry and make my face look
pretty. So when I look at EU homepage
and saw before after picture I really like the result.

OP 1 day
When I came back to the ward, I feel cold. Doctor
explained to me before the surgery that I need to relax my body so it will less
swell because it was so cold that my body kept getting tense and I was shaking.
The hospital turned on the heater, but the cold lasted for a long time. I could
sleep when the anesthesia was all awake. Now I should go to sleep but my nose &
throat seems to be stuff that I cannot fall asleep. I woke up, slept, and woke
up. I cannot wait until tomorrow morning to remove the tube on my nose.

result of the surgery already! Thank you, Doctor!

I visited the hospital for the deswelling laser
treatment and medical certificate. I kept trying to adjust my wafer since
it keeps coming off from my teeth. I will visit the hospital tomorrow again so the doctor will check my wafer again! I think my swelling start to reduce again but the left and right side of face swelling seem a bit different.

OP 8 days
Today I fall asleep while practicing to
make bite in align with a wafer with a facial pressure bandage. After I wake up I
feel pain bottom of my ear: ( I assume that I bite too strong. Since yesterday, my right side of the ear is popping and I felt like my molar is bit ache.
Is it because I cannot brush my teeth well?

OP 9 days
Finally, I get to stitch out from m zygoma! I
had better need to be making sure not to get exposure from the sun since it can
discolor. Therefore, I must put tapes for 2 days on the zygoma area. Today I
watched the video that Dr. Shin explains about stitch out and he said that he
tried his best to remove it so make sure that patients do not feel pain. Perhaps I bite my teeth too tightly yesterday
night that my left jaw is tingling as if it is my first time feeling it after
surgery. It felt a little lumpy and uncomfortable, so I apply a warm pack on my
jaw so I feel like pain seems to have decreased. If I do not feel get better, I
will ask the hospital. I am happy to see that the swelling is going down
little by little!

OP 10 days
It was the first time to take shower and wash
my hair after surgery but it was not easy L Also,
I did zygoma surgery that I cannot put my head down. After a shower, I feel so
dizzy and hard to breathe. Luckily, I do not need to wear facial pressure bandage
anymore since it has been a week from surgery too! I feel like my life getting
more comfortable than the first day of the surgery!

OP 11 days
While going back home, I was hard to breathe
and feel dizzy that I about to passed away L I
must have to eat well! Therefore, I took some rest at home and ate soup and
yogurt. From now on even though I do not want to eat any food, I will force myself
to eat it for my health. I can also feel that my palate sensation is almost
coming back but my lips area sensation does not come back fully. Ah! Before the surgery I read the reviews
about zygoma surgery, the symptoms appeared in the right ear just as I read
that cheekbones could feel numb like water went into the ear! Symptoms appear
when swallowing saliva, then it's okay when swallowing it again, but I think
it's going to get better gradually and it's not that uncomfortable, so I'm
going to wait comfortably!

I removed stitch out today! I hope its
not pain but my upper jaw was bit hurts. However, I really appreciate that I
can eat more food than before after stitch out! From now on, I can work on jaw exercise
so I can open my wider!

2 days ago, I was trying to brush my teeth
molar area but toothbrush cannot reach it but thankfully, it can reach today! My
family and cousin told me not to get the surgery but after they see my face
with surgery, they really like the result of the surgery too! In addition, they
told me that my face shape gets much prettier even with the swelling! I think I made
a good choice to do surgery at EU!

OP 16 days
I ate a home run ball snack, but my jaw did
not open well yet, so I pressed the home run ball snack a little flat. After
removing the stitches, I could not complete 10 jaw exercises 4 times. I think I
should work harder. My left side is a little stiff and my right side is less
stiff. I can't wait to eat more delicious food!!
Post
OP 18 days
When I wake up in the morning, I get a
little more swollen. The swelling goes down a bit in the evening. I only can
put one finger yet, so I think I should work out jaw exercise harder. The shape
of the left and right jaw is different, but I do not know if this is swelling
or bone. I don't think I'll know until the swelling goes down!!
Post
OP 19 days
While washing my face, I blow my nose so
bad that I feel like my ear is blocked I think because I put a lot of pressure on
my face. I should be more careful. I saw my surgery review picture again and it
seems like my face has been deswelling a lot! I will work hard on my jaw exercise
so I can put 2 and a half fingers inside of my mouth!
Post
OP 20 days
If you bite only a wafer and relax your
lips, your lips will not close and there will be a space between them. I am a
little worried about this, but I am also worried because both sides are not the
same. Will it get better when the swelling goes down later? I think I should
ask the hospital tomorrow.

Yesterday, I asked about the asymmetric lip,
and they said it was because of edema, so I decided to wait!!! I want to chew

I start to have a pimple on my face as I read

I am desperate to chew some food!

Finally, I can chew more food than yesterday!

It was the first time to put makeup on after
surgery. I feel like it is not my skin! My friend told me that the surgery result
is good that the surgeon is like a god! She told me that even my side view is pretty
that she wants to take pictures with me.

. I think my nose swelling is not reducing
fast as other parts. Today, I hang out with my friend and she took a picture for
my side view. Before surgery, usually, I do not allow my friend to take pictures
for me but this time I allow her! I look cute! J My
whole face looks small! I totally satisfied with it!
Post
OP 44 days
I feel good because I can see that the
swelling is going down! I went to eat grilled clams today, and I chewed some
soft parts and swallowed some hard parts and or spit them out if it is too big.
Maybe it's because I didn't do jaw exercise properly for a few days, but when I
opened my mouth right away without the rubber band, only one and a half fingers
can go in. I think I need to work out my jaw exercise often.

I am doing well except that my jaw and cheekbones
feel stiff when I yawn!!! I am not sure I am in the right position of the
bite since when I try to chew the food I cannot chew well L I feel like rice is going the edge of the teeth … I don’t know how to
explain it! I just want to eat pork belly soon!

I met an acquaintance who did not know I
had the surgery, and she almost cannot recognize me! "It's me, but she does
not think it's me," She asked if the facial bone surgery is hurt, so I
said it did not hurt. I told her it did not hurt as much as double eyelids, but
it really did not hurt... Why doesn’t it hurt when you are cutting and move the
bones? I do not know if it is because of the injection and the medicine, but it
there was nothing like this at all, and there was only a little uncomfortable
breathing right after surgery, not being able to eat as much as you want, and
living as if you could not take shower! But I think I was able to endure it
well because of the number of things that became more comfortable!!

OP 54 days
My right face feels like the sensation is
coming back! I do not have a heavy feeling anymore. My left side pulling feeling is
decreasing when I lie sideways. I asked the hospital for a few more days later
if I still uncomfortable\. I will wait for a few more days because I will have a monthly check-up with the doctor. I think I am gaining weight now that I have eating
more food.
Post
OP 57 days
The feeling of pulling for the left side
decreased, but the feeling of the left jaw or cheekbone began to feel tight.
Sometimes I had pain in my ear, but the feeling of water going in like in the
early days of surgery seems to have disappeared since I have not felt it for
weeks! I have had ear pain a few times before the surgery, so I do not really
care about it, but... I am most concerned that the left side feels tight. I
hope it's fine! Whenever I feel tights on the left side of my face that I am paying
more attention to the left side of my face and jaw exercises! I took a selfie and
it seems like my face got shortens a lot that I am satisfied with the result
of the surgery. Therefore, I do not need to edit my photo anymore!
Post
OP 65 days
I went to the hospital a few days ago to
check a CT scan and a doctor's consultation because I felt like I was pulling
only my jaw, but he said there was no major problem! The reason why I cringe on
my left side is when I move my mouth, there is a part of the screw that is
stuck in my gums. Alternatively, I was relieved to hear that it could happen if
the muscles were tense because the teeth were not in the right situation! Maybe it is because
I was nervous to remember the right position of the teeth after taking out the
wafer. Therefore, I tried my best to get rid of it. These days, I have a
tingling sensation that my left sense is about to come back!!!
Post
OP 70 days
Maybe because I did not practice opening my
mouth, it was hard to put cherry tomatoes in one bite. Everything else is
fine!!! Now I can chew the cucumbers by cutting them into small pieces. I still
have swelling in the nose and the philtrum is still a little stagnant!! I am going
to have to work harder on my jaw exercise so that I can open my mouth wide.
Post
OP 78 days
I used to feel tight on my philtrum when I
put on lipstick or when I pronounced O, but it is a little less these days!
Now, when I wake up and open my mouth, two fingers go in as standard, but three
is too tough for me. I am doing many mouth exercises whenever I think of it! I
am happy to see many selfies!

OP 86 days
Two screws stuck in the upper gums do
surgeon removed for me! I was really touched because the surgeon removed them very gently
so I can barely feel the pain. When will the orthodontic treatment end?
I want to show my teeth and smile!! Sometimes the side of my left lip stings,
but it is okay because it is tolerable! The right one was tickling, but the
left one was tingling and it felt right. I have been hearing a lot of comments
that I look cuter after surgery! I think it is because the length of my face gets
much shorter and my cheeks get chubby because of the swelling, but I feel
great.
Post
OP 92 days
Finally! I cut my hair! What I really
wanted to do after surgery was to cut my hair short!!! After the surgery, I
think I am gaining confidence. I am happy to hear that I look good in
everything after I cut my hair... I'm happy again because I finally cut my hair
very short!... I am very confident that I will try another short cut next time!
