 <▲수술전▲><▲수술전▲><▲퇴원날▲><▲가장 최근▲>I had surgery on May 30th. I was so tired before the surgery, but somehow
the surgery was over and I was able to write a review. Haha
I had IVRO surgery, and today is the 20th day.
Before surgery:
My lower jaw was very long, I had a prognathism, and I had a malocclusion, so I had trouble chewing.
I wanted to get double jaw surgery for a long time, but it was actually such a big surgery, so I kept worrying about it, and I
decided to just get it done instead of living without confidence...
I think most people who get double jaw surgery worry about it for years like me and make a big decision before getting the surgery.
On the day of the surgery:
I had the surgery scheduled for the morning, so I went to the hospital early in the morning. I think I was almost out of my mind at that time. I was so nervous... Haha
It's been a long time since I've been to church, but I kept praying to myself, "Please help me to get through the surgery safely." Haha
After listening to various manuals and preparing, it finally felt real... Haha It's a real surgery.....
I woke up after getting anesthesia and the surgery was done safely
. The first day was so hard because I couldn't breathe. Personally, not being able to breathe was the hardest.
Maybe
because of the structure of my mouth and my usual slight rhinitis, my tongue would block my mouth whenever I slept, so I couldn't sleep much until the second
day. Fortunately, it wasn't as painful as I thought, because I couldn't breathe well and it was uncomfortable and scary.
Second day:
I was going crazy because I couldn't sleep. In fact, I couldn't sleep well as the surgery date approached, and even after the surgery, I couldn't sleep,
so I just felt dizzy and like a zombie. The director came and cleaned my mouth and took out something like a blood bag.
It felt a little creepy when he took it out... Anyway, that's how it was. My face swelled up like a balloon and
there was more blood coming out of my mouth than the day before, so I panicked. I was scared, so I asked the director if there was anything wrong, and he
kindly smiled and said that there was nothing wrong at all and that it was normal...ㅎㅎ He reassured me, so I felt a little more at peace mentally. The pain was worse than the day before, but I could bear it, and I
gradually came to my senses, so I walked around the hallway and watched TV.
Ah, I'm gradually getting the hang of sleeping..ㅎㅎ I started sleeping little by little even though I couldn't sleep deeply.
Day of discharge:
This was when my swelling was at its peak. I took my first picture after the surgery, but I was
flustered because it looked less swollen than it actually was;; I was really swollen. It was so swollen that I wondered if a person's face could be this swollen.
I had IVRO surgery so my jaw bone is not fixed... The director moved
my jaw bone around with something like a hospital pliers, but it didn't hurt, and it gave me goosebumps... It was a strange feeling.
Then he sealed my mouth and squeezed it here and there with a wire so that I couldn't move my mouth at all
. I couldn't even breathe through my mouth. I also have a bit of rhinitis so it was difficult to breathe through my nose,
so I just bought some nasal decongestant. I heard that this medicine is not good, but I had no choice.
I had to breathe first... Fortunately, I was able to breathe because of the medicine, but my mouth
kept bleeding and it didn't come out, but it didn't swallow, and my mouth was all swollen and
ah... it was really hard. But after that, other than the bleeding from my mouth, I was fine.
Unlike other people, I didn't have much pain after the surgery.
I think it was really lucky.
Day 20:
Today is finally the 20th day. I went to get my mouth opened a while ago, and why did an hour feel so long...
But when I actually did it, it wasn't a big deal. They just cut one wire and that was it;; There are still devices in my mouth, so it's uncomfortable...
They say I can talk now, but I can't help but pronounce it... I'm awkward, so I'm not talking much.
But I can finally eat noodles, rice, and porridge that I wanted to eat so badly.
I cut the noodles really small and eat them with a spoon. I think I'll live!
I'm still like this now. I'm on a forced diet because I can't eat well, and
I still can't sleep well, but I'm sleeping smartly so I'm a little more alert than before.
I was so out of it and had no energy after the surgery that I didn't have time to take pictures
. When I tried to write a review, I panicked because there weren't many pictures; I'll post pictures taken before the surgery, the day I was discharged, and the most recent pictures.
When I recover a little more, I'll take more pictures and write a review.
I wrote it in a hurry so it might be a little disorganized... I hope this will be helpful to those who are about to have a surgery.
