It's been about a month or two since my double jaw surgery.
At first, I had a lot of worries before the operation, and I ignorantly searched and searched, but the operation was over after sleeping in one breath.
In my case, the swelling on my face was not severe and the recovery was quick, so I got it right away, but I had a hard time because my immune system was weak or the inflammation got worse in the middle. ㅠㅠ The strange thing is that the senses usually return for up to a year and never come back at all. In my case, either the recovery is quick or the teacher who performed the operation is golden.. The sensations and swelling came back incredibly quickly. As a result, I don't know if it is a quick healing process, but the symptoms (pain such as cramps or neuralgia?) that are often considered to be side effects of both jaws were ignorantly severe. All day long, my muscles were cramping, my face hurt almost all over my face, and even the wind just touched my skin. However, after a little over a month, the pain gradually weakened and disappeared and disappeared, and as much as I was in pain at that time, my senses seemed to return very quickly. It's been about two and a half months now, except for the lower lip and the area around the lower lip, the sensation is exactly the same as before surgery, and the lower jaw and lower lip feel slightly less anesthetized? About 90% of them seem to come back. (Still, as time passes and I suddenly feel it, my senses seem to become clearer.) The doctor also told me to eat all kinds of food for about 7-8 weeks when I said that I recover too quickly.
Orthognathic surgery is a really difficult and major operation, but according to some doctors, it is an operation that does not cause any major side effects if only an accurate diagnosis, meticulous examination, and surgery are planned and performed. It is said that surgery such as nose surgery or eye correction is difficult to know the frequency of side effects or the outcome of the surgery even the person who performed it. But even so, I would like to refrain from performing double jaw surgery for simple cosmetic purposes. Of course, my surgery was for cosmetic purposes, but there were also big functional problems, so I decided to have the surgery.
If you have a malocclusion that is not for cosmetic purposes and need to be accompanied by functional improvement, I think you do not need to be afraid of the hospital well.
