Reason for Surgery
I had severe malocclusion since I was younger so I had trouble eating certain foods and it affected my daily activities. My chin had protruded a lot and my facial asymmetry kept getting worse which cause me a lot of stress. Due to the stress, I decided to get surgery.
Reason for choosing EU
I started looking up different clinics after I made up my mind to get double jaw surgery and found out about EU Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery. I asked the doctor question one by one and he was able to answer all of them. Also, there were a lot of reviews of patients with pretty facial lines from EU, which earned my trust. Also, the consultant was very kind which is what made me chose EU.
Day of Surgery
When I opened my eyes, the surgery was already over. I was told that I couldn’t sleep for four hours so I kept going in and out of sleep. I wasn’t fully conscious and after the four hours, I kept sleeping.
Day 1 Post OP
Other than having slight nosebleeds and my throat hurting, I was able to breathe and sleep well. I was worried that it would be too painful but maybe it was due to the injection, I couldn’t feel much pain! I wondered if I really did go through surgery or not. My mom was fascinated to see how well I was doing after surgery.
Day 2 Post OP
I received de-swelling laser treatment today. Just like yesterday, I am able to breathe properly and I only have a slightly irritated throat. Since I have to be in the recovery room for the whole day, time seems to pass slowly. I’m really bored but at least I can discharge from the clinic soon.
Day 3 Post OP
I feel so comfortable coming back home. My throat hurts whenever I swallow my spit but other than that, I do not have any discomfort. The swelling seems to be more severe today so I will try my best to receive the de-swelling laser treatments every day.
Day 7 Post OP
Since I am going to the clinic to do the laser treatment, the swelling seems like it decreased. My face seems to change every day. Whenever I see my smaller jaw while the swelling decreases, it amazes me because my face looks smaller.
Day 8 Post OP
I wore makeup for the first time after surgery and went outside. I’m still trying to adjust to how I look. Wearing makeup and a mask does not make it obvious that I am someone who had surgery. I hope my swelling gets better soon.
Day 14 Post OP
I removed my stitches removed. I didn’t think it was going to be painful at all but it did hurt a little. But it was a pain I could tolerate so it was okay. I was told that my swelling would get better after I got my stitches removed, and it seems like the case. My swelling seems to have decreased compared to yesterday.
Day 48 Post OP
The swelling has decreased so much that I don’t seem like someone who had surgery. I can eat foods as long as it’s not too hard or tough to chew!! I’m satisfied whenever I see slow changes to my face.
Day 55 Post OP
My face got swollen after I ate ramyeon last night…. I’m already swollen due to the surgery but it got a lot better. My jaw looks shorter and I can see my jawline getting more visible.
2 months have passed by quickly and it seems most of the swelling has decreased. My jaw looks shorter!! Time is medicine for double jaw surgery. People around me say that my face looks smaller and that it’s amazing that I had the courage to get double jaw surgery.
Day 75 Post OP
Most of the bigger swelling has decreased after two months. It seems like there hasn’t been much change for the past few days, maybe it’s because I keep eating too much…. The swelling in the jaw area seems to decrease the slowest. The double chin is bothering me but compared to before, it has decreased a lot. I can eat most foods, as long as it’s not too tough to chew!
When I take pictures of my side profile, I can see that my chin has been pushed back to a good position, which is making me really happy! I still have some swelling left in my jaw… but I really like my side profile.
I feel like the results that I wanted before surgery is starting to become more visible. I’m starting to take a lot of selfies now. My facial asymmetry also improved a lot and my face looks shorter which makes me highly highly highly satisfied! I’m able to eat any food well, even meats such as fried chicken and beef!
Before surgery, I never took pictures of my side profile. After surgery, I keep taking pictures. Since my chin got pushed back, my nose bridge looks higher and my lips have the shape that I really wanted before surgery. I feel so happy nowadays and I recommend double jaw surgery to people around me who also want surgery as well. I couldn’t be happier.
It’s already been 5 months since my surgery. I almost forget that I had surgery and I can basically eat any food now without any discomfort! My face has gotten much shorter compared to how I looked before surgery. It’s noticeable when I look at my face with my camera.
Day 152 Post OP
It seems like there haven’t been any changes to my face nowadays. My jaw and lips look really natural now!
