Hello, I'm upset... I wrote a long post twice and then lost it, so I'm rewriting it... It turns out that it automatically logs out after a while . ㅠ
My name is Hong Seon x, a 27-year-old direct living in Seoul.
Since I was young, I was under a lot of stress because I had an unusually square jaw, and I
lived with the promise that someday I would get jaw surgery. Two years ago, I was busy looking for hospitals by signing up on the Internet, but with so many hospitals, it was difficult to make a decision... I started looking around on my own. I go there every Saturday because I work at work, and the area around Apgujeong in Gangnam, which is very old, is famous for its specialty. Even though I visited several hospitals, they were all similar and it was difficult for me to make a decision due to my meticulous and persistent personality.
One day, I was able to narrow down my decision after getting to know the director of one hospital.
Unlike other directors, I was very impressed by the way he carefully wrote down the things he could promise in his career record and passionately explained the surgical method without missing any details. Of course, there were parts that I did not understand
. Because of my personality, it is a bit difficult to make a decision, so I must have visited this hospital 3 times over the past year and a half.^^;
While I was waiting for a consultation, I got the contact information of two patients who had surgery at this hospital and came to have their stitches removed about 10 days ago, and I
asked them various questions and made the final decision.
The common story between these two patients is that, as in the reviews and as the director said, on the first day after the surgery, the pain was so severe that it was difficult to sleep without significant pain in the surgical area. What I was most worried about was what would happen if the pain was severe on the day of the surgery. It proved it. Also, the
importance of the surgery, including same-day discharge and minimal bleeding of about 2 pieces of gauze, not to mention
the number of patients, really struck me. I finally got a month's sick leave from the company and set the surgery date for November 1st. I arrived at the hospital calming my nervous mind with my beloved mom and dad.
I was so grateful to my parents who were so worried about me even though I was feeling sick, and I had a strong belief that the surgery would go well. Even though I was very scared and scared, I put on a calm face and went straight to the operating table. Is it gas anesthesia
? As soon as I asked if it was an injection, he said it was an injection and that he would be anesthetized right
away. I remember it vividly until right before my eyes closed^^;
When I woke up, my co-worker was next to me in the recovery room. It was very cold and sleepy and I didn't have the pain I was most worried about, but the nausea was a bit severe. Since I was
discharged on the same day, I was told that I should walk and move again, so I endured the nausea and drank warm water, walked around the hospital, rested, and repeated. My mom was sick with body aches, so I went with my dad first. He said he went and asked his sister for a favor, so
he took a taxi that she found and went home comfortably.
I was able to fall asleep easily on the first day after eating the rice made by my mom, but because of my sensitivity, I woke up and woke up again and again, and I couldn't help but
think of the director who performed her surgery so neatly and skillfully. ^^; I was so respectful and grateful.
I was thankful that I was able to sleep and eat rice without any pain despite the painful surgery to remove the bone. I didn't properly read the instructions given by the manager
and took anti-inflammatory medication that day, so I vomited up everything I ate, but I was really thankful for the painless surgery.
What I was most worried about was the pain on the day of the surgery, but I was very fortunate^^
5 days' worth of anti-inflammatory medication and painkillers. It was a 3-day supply, and surprisingly, I didn't even need a single painkiller!
It was the second day after the surgery. As expected, there was almost no pain, and it started to swell, and with the desire to recover quickly day by day, I
decided to eat well and ate well, starting with soybean paste soup, kimchi soup, and samgyetang soup. I ground my legs and breasts, and mixed them with fruits and yogurt. He gave me drinks, milk ice cream, etc. (I have a very strong appetite and eat very well ^^:), and I ate well without feeling hungry. My mom was so surprised by my appetite that she started laughing. Even her lips were swollen and I apologized and thanked her. In
fact, I was thinking about going for a walk that day, but I refrained from going up to the rooftop and repeated the walk. They also gave me an ice pack. It was the
third day after surgery... . Haha, the swelling was at its peak and the bandage was very frustrating, but it was still like this! I thought.
I also took a picture of her.. haha. On this day, I armed her face and walked with her mom and dad up Mt. Ujang in front of her house for about 40 minutes.
I guess my resolution to do aerobic exercise every day, which is said to help with swelling, worked. I had no trouble walking at all.
I took one painkiller that day. I thought it would be difficult to sleep because the bandages were so stuffy due to the swelling, so my mom said I would be able to sleep well if I took painkillers, so I took them. As expected, I took them well^^.
The swelling went down slightly on the 4th day after surgery, and the swelling began to go down noticeably in earnest on the 5th day.
To be honest, I had decided to only have a square jaw, but I found out that clowns are a part of my strong appearance, so I got a square clown, but the swelling went down quickly and I didn't have to worry about it. My mom was really against clowns at first, but now I have a clown. You both realize the importance of ^^;
Last week, Friday, the 12th, as my second visit after surgery, the last stitches were removed and the director took pre-surgery photos, surgery scene photos, and post-surgery X-rays. Thank you^^
Feeling light and happy, I met a friend and went to Pizza Hut. I ordered carbonara, tomato spaghetti, and salad and ate them carefully. The spaghetti was harder than I expected and had no taste, so I left a lot of it, but I was grateful that I could eat it anyway. I didn't tell my
friend about the size. I thought it was just my chin, but when I tilted my face and said that it really seemed to have changed a lot for some reason, and that it would get smaller when the swelling went down, it was amazing. I did.
The director said it was okay to eat real rice, so on Saturday, I ate rice mixed with stir-fried fish stew and melted soft bread, so I am eating well. Yesterday, I met my boyfriend and went to Bonjuk, ate porridge, and looked at his face. I thought I wouldn't see him for a month, but he said the swelling was relieved and he was
pretty
. They say it's young.
It was really difficult to decide to have surgery, and it seemed like it would be difficult and that I would have to live through a harsh
time, but surprisingly, I felt like I was doing so well, and time passed very quickly. I downloaded American dramas I hadn't seen before and went for a walk with my dog. .One more thing, I think I've been giving the dog a bath since the 4th day after the surgery. My mom says she likes it because I stay home and do the dishes and housework.. haha I'm living
happy and grateful every day. The outside is important, but now I am determined to cultivate my insides as well, become more mature, upgrade myself, and live a fulfilling life.
If you are really having a hard time with a complex and living with stress, it may be a difficult decision, but I am posting this in the hope that it will help you relieve some of the stress.
I would like to express my utmost gratitude to the director who performed the surgery so well that I was able to spend my post-surgery time comfortably, and I am also grateful to the director who answers patients' text messages in real time even in the early morning. He is truly a professional. Be careful to chew so that the cheekbones are well fused for up to 3 months, and now the front jaw and lower lip are still near the nerve line, so it feels tingly and slightly uncomfortable, but I don't think it's anything. Time is the essence. ^^ It can change little by little from 3.6 months to 1 year
. When I think about myself, I really feel like it's nothing. The thickening and hardening of the scar tissue is called contracture. They say it takes more than a year for it to go away. They say the effect of the surgery improves by 10% every month, so I'll have to wait until a year to see it and leave it to time. That's right!
Still, I feel good because I can see the overall softer facial lines now.
Good luck to everyone who is worried about surgery! Next time I post a review, I will attach a photo and post it together~ haha
