Reason for Surgery
The position for my upper teeth and lower
teeth did not match. I’ve been contemplating surgery for a long time and I was
told that I needed to change my orthodontic treatment plan to match it
accordingly with double jaw surgery. Whenever I took pictures, my face would
look long and my chin looked protruded. That is why I decided to get surgery!
1 Day
There is a lot of phlegm in my throat so breathing is
uncomfortable. The plug that was put inside my nose is also stuffy and I got it
taken out at dawn. My throat hurts a lot and swallowing my spit is difficult.
2 Days
The pain and stiffness got better compared
to yesterday but I still have phlegm in my throat. Breathing is uncomfortable.
I’m not sure if it’s due to the wafer but drinking water is difficult and my
nose is clogged. I want to take out my wafers quickly.
3 Days
The swelling on my face makes my face feel
stiff. Swallowing my saliva is still difficult. Other than that, everything is
okay. I’ll try to make the swelling decrease by going on walks!
4 Days
I think that my swelling got worse. Even
when I removed the facial tape, I read on the precautions after surgery that
cold compression is only recommended for 3 days. I stopped the cold compression
and I’m proceeding with going on walks and using the compression band. I hope
my swelling decreases quickly.
5 Days
I’m going on walks frequently and I’m
making sure that I use my compression band. I don’t think the swelling
decreased dramatically but I’ll still make sure that I maintain this routine.
I’m trying to practice opening my mouth.
6 Days
I’m satisfied with how my face got better compared to yesterday! I also go on walks and eat as much as possible. Maybe that’s why it feels like I’m healing quicker. I hope my bigger swelling decreases quickly!
7 Days
I can see that my swelling is decreasing
slowly through selfies. Eating feels much more comfortable. The roof of my
mouth is swollen so my throat still hurts when I swallow my saliva. But I’m
glad that the swelling is getting better. I hope that the swelling gets better
quickly.
8 Days
I don’t really see much of a difference
today. I got my mouth disinfected at the clinic today. One week has passed and
I hope 2 weeks pass by quickly.
9 Days
I feel that the swelling decreased a bit
today. But of course, it’ll still take a lot more time. Since it rained today, I
couldn’t go on a walk.
11 Days
The swelling in the inside of my mouth
still isn’t decreasing. I’m starting to crave different kinds of food slowly. I
got used to the liquid diet but I still want to eat food. I hope I recover
quickly.
12 Days
I’m going on long walks and it’s helping my
swelling. I’m starting to get comfortable day by day.
13 Days
I’m not sure if it’s because I went on
walks frequently but I can see that my swelling decreased a lot through
pictures. Opening my mouth feels a bit more comfortable.
19 Days
The swelling decreases a lot and I’m happy
that I don’t have to wear a mask anymore to cover it up. People around me said
that I changed and compliment me so I’m happy!
22 Days
The swelling on my philtrum and jaw will probably take
the longest to heal. Other than that, I’m not experiencing any discomfort. I
want to be able to chew food T___T. That’s the only frustrating part.
33 Days
I’m happy that I can slowly eat rice now. I
don’t have any discomforts but the left side of my cheek is still swollen which
makes my face look awkward. Other than that, there’s nothing wrong! I’m
satisfied with everything else.
41 Days
Chewing is a lot easier now. The roof of my
mouth and my philtrum is still swollen so it looks awkward. It doesn’t affect me
from doing my daily activities though. I’m in a good mood nowadays!~
2 Months
I’m doing well! I still have swelling on
the inside of my mouth but it doesn’t affect my life, so I’m okay. I’m able to
eat more foods so I’m worried that I might gain weight. I want to end my braces
procedure soon.
3 Months
I can proceed with eating and doing my
daily activities without any problem! About 90% of my swelling has decreased. I
just need to make sure that I don’t eat foods that are too hard or tough. Other
than that, I can eat almost anything. I’m still in the middle of doing braces
after surgery.
4 Months
I have no discomfort with swelling or
anything else! I’m almost done with the braces procedure so I’m excited to get
them taken out in the future. I can eat well! Time flies by quickly.
5 Months
A lot of people tell me that my surgery
went well and that my appearance changed, so I’m satisfied. I’m in the last
month of doing braces. After one more month, I’ll get them removed. I’m happy
that I’m recovering well and that the surgery went well.
6 Months
I don’t remember what I looked like before
surgery since the results look natural. People around me are asking about where
I got my surgery so I feel happy. I’m thankful that I was finally able to fix
my long-term concern about my face. I’m getting my braces taken off next month
so I’m happy. Everyone around me says that the surgery results look natural
which makes me even more satisfied. ^_^
7 Months
The swelling on the inside of my mouth and
the swelling on my face seems to be gone now. I’m happy with how natural my
face looks. I don’t have any discomforts! Now that I think about it, I don’t
know how I was able to handle such a big and scary surgery. Thank you to the
doctor and consultant and staff that treated me with care!!
8 Months
The skin that was sagging after surgery got
much better. Whenever people around me look at me, they said that I made a good
decision to get surgery. This makes me realize how important it is to decide on
getting surgery. I’m glad that I was able to have a positive outcome with surgery!
9 Months
I’m not experiencing any discomforts and
all of the worries I had before is completely gone now. It makes me wonder why
I was so worried before. I’m proud of myself for choosing to undergo such a big
surgery. I have no regrets and I’m glad that I made this change in my life!
10 Months
Time seems to fly by quickly. It’s already
been 10 months since my surgery. I can’t believe it’ll be one year soon. The
concerns that I had all my life is now gone, it feels like a dream. My face
looks natural and everyone around me says that I look younger. They get
surprised and say I look like a different person. I’m 200% satisfied! I made
the right decision to get surgery at EU.
