[Real Patient Review] Korean Double Jaw + V-line Surgery for Facial Asymmetry


Double Jaw + V-line Surgery





Reason for Surgery

I did braces when I was young but my teeth are still not aligned. The dentist also said that double jaw surgery is needed for me. I met a professor who is famous for orthodontics and she said that the length of my jaw joint is different. Originally, I wanted to do surgery since I wanted to work in the service field. Also, I do not like my asymmetric face and I feel uncomfortable when chewing food! Even before the surgery, I tried to collect information from acquaintances who had done double jaw surgery. My parents and I thought going to an oral & maxillofacial center was better than going to a plastic surgery clinic.



Post OP 1 Day

I woke up from the anesthesia, and the surgery was done! I can't even think about looking in the mirror. I was really weak and tired and kept bleeding, so I was scared. Breathing is also inconvenient. At night and dawn, the nurse often checked up on me. I remember that she was so kind. Thank you so much.

 

Post OP 2 Days

I remove a tube out of my nose and went back and forth to the bathroom once, but I feel weak. I was better than yesterday, but I was still weak, so I lied down like a dead body. I felt stuffy because I couldn't speak and felt a little refreshed when my mouth got disinfected!

 


Post OP 3 Days

I was discharged from the hospital. One disadvantage after surgery is that my face was swollen more compared to days 1 and 2. I was surprised to see the mirror. I can't even wash my face since it's so swollen I feel like my head is so heavy like a blowfish. After about 3 days, I was not sick and tired anymore. When I try to laugh loudly, I feel pain from the sutured area.


Post OP 4 Days

I think I'm more swollen today than yesterday. I went to the clinic and they said it was possible to get a de-swelling laser treatment and wash my face. I was so happy to remove the tape on my face and it became soft and smooth. My face was so swollen that it was hard to wear the compression band. I heard the third and fifth days are the worst!!



Post OP 6 Days

I do not feel pain or sick after surgery. I'm looking forward to seeing the swelling decrease!!

 


Post OP 7 Days

Now that I have the trick to take medicine easily! I'm not getting used to the taste of New Care so I try to drink other stuff instead of newcare.  I'm not dizzy and I am doing fine!

 


Post OP 8 Days

The doctor checked my bite after disinfection.

 


Post OP 9 Days

Father told me that he liked my face so much! I can speak and laugh much better than before, so I was fortunate to have a better recovery. There are so many foods I want to eat now. I never realize that chewing is a big happiness.

 

Post OP 15 Days

Time to remove stitches! It has been post-op 2weeks already that I was nervous because I heard it was painful when the doctor removes the stitches. Actually, it stings a little bit? I feel much refresh after removing stitches. Also, the doctor told me that my bite is a little unstable, so I wore a rubber on my teeth and it was uncomfortable.

 

Post OP 17 Days

I think my mouth is getting more natural than before. It's more natural when I take out the wafer! I'm waiting for the swelling to go down on my mouth and cheeks!

 


Post OP 28 Days

I was checking the progress with my surgeon and I thought I made the right hospital to do the surgery. The surgeon is so kind and well-mannered and my mom really liked him! Also, its my first day to get braces and the orthodontist told me that my bite is still unstable that I need to wear wafer and put a rubber band on my teeth: (



Post OP 35 Days

Due to swelling, I feel like I still have asymmetry and I can eat verity food right now.

 

Post OP 54 Days

Finally, I made an appointment with my friend, my face looks much better than another day. Also, I should practice mouth exercise more often due to making a better mouth shape.

 


Post OP 5 Months

I am really happy that my bite is stable and when I look at the mirror I really like my jawline.,

 


Post OP 6 Months

I took a picture with the basic camera and it was good that it seems like I have a symmetrical face and my bite is stable. I'm thinking about getting pin removal surgery. My face looks very natural without deswelling! Also, I like the chin line the most when I smile. Right after surgery, my lip looks unnatural, but now I'm glad that I look good after surgery!

 


Post OP 8 Months

I am living a comfortable life after surgery. I can't remember my life before the surgery. It was really hard then, but I'm living happily after adjusting to my daily life. LOL. Even if I turn back time, I think I'll definitely do the surgery. I can't wait to finish braces. Also, I'm thinking about removing pins within this year.

 


Post OP 9 Months

After surgery, I felt that the face shape looks the prettiest when there isn’t much fat on it! But since I haven’t been maintaining my weight, my face became very round. It’s been a long time since my surgery that I almost forgot. I want to finish my braces as quickly as possible. 

 


Post OP 10 Months

10 months after surgery, I’ve been doing well. The only people who know that I had surgery are my close friends, and no one else knows ^_^. I guess it looks natural! It wasn’t my intention to keep the fact that I had surgery a secret though. I’m still in the middle of orthodontic treatment at EU. Since its done to match my occlusion, it gives me more trust in EU. Time flies by quickly and I want to retake my ID picture. If it wasn’t for corona, I would have went around outside more. I’m glad that the surgery went well and I am not experiencing any discomfort!

 


Post OP 11 Months

It’s almost been a year since I had surgery. I’m living without any discomforts. Traveling to Seoul for my monthly orthodontic treatment is a bit difficult but since the staff are so kind, I’m able to go with no problem! So nowadays, I’m considering pin removal surgery. I sometimes forget that I had surgery and I’m completely satisfied and happy.
