It's been 10 months since I had double jaw surgery for my temporomandibular joint, asymmetry, and protruding mouth. I
decided on this hospital after consulting with 4 hospitals over 3 years.
Overall, I'm about 70% satisfied.
The protruding mouth has improved so much that you'd think I had a nose surgery, and my
temporomandibular joint is fine. Since 3 months ago, I started hearing sounds again and felt like they were misaligned, so I was prescribed a muscle relaxant a month ago, took it for 3 days, and it improved a lot. Are you working
too hard on the rubber bands while aligning your occlusion during orthodontic treatment? They said it could be done if you do that, so they prescribed
it to be easy to put on the rubber band... And for the asymmetry, I did the contouring with
both jaws . They said they couldn't make it 100% symmetrical before the surgery, but
the left side was asymmetrical, but the left side was shaved too much, so
the right side became asymmetrical
. I just had my chin adjusted and
asked them not to shave as much of the bone as possible because
my chin is relatively small... I'm stressed because of this... I
'm stressed every time I look in the mirror... It's so crazy that people around me ask me if
I still have swelling
because one side of my chin is big. The bone thing
is said to be adjusted this fall when the pins are removed. They
said they shaved less on the right side because it's where the pins are inserted. They said
they should just shave less on the left side. ㅠㅠ
Also, I've lost a lot of facial fat and my skin is a bit saggy, so I
'm really worried about the nasolabial folds. This is because
my nose is originally small, so it's just a little bit?
It was a surgery that would have been 90% satisfactory if
the asymmetry was corrected and there was no sagging skin.
I hope the pin removal goes well in the fall and the asymmetry is adjusted perfectly.
