Reason for deciding to have surgery
I had malocclusion since I was young and visited the dentist, but I was told that orthodontic treatment alone would not be enough, so I was considering double jaw surgery. As I grew up, my malocclusion caused asymmetry, and my chin became protruding, so it was not easy to accept my appearance when taking pictures, and I even avoided being photographed. As a result, it affected my daily life, and I became increasingly timid and my confidence dropped, so I decided to have surgery.
Reason for choosing Lee Yu-gu
I received consultations at about 5 places, but the first place I visited was Lee Yu-gu, where the kind director consulted, and Director Shin Hee-jin explained my pictures and jaw joint pictures in an easy-to-understand manner, so I chose her the most. I also liked the fact that the director had previously operated on patients with similar cases to mine and talked about the surgery in general. I
am on my way home after being discharged
on the 3rd day
. My face feels swollen compared to yesterday, and I try to walk a little whenever I have time, but I feel weak because I'm hungry ㅠ
On the 4th day,
the swelling got worse and worse, and my neck swelled up. Still, I feel refreshed after my first shower and face wash after being discharged. When I took off the tape, I felt more swollen. I usually don't have much of an appetite, but I feel more greedy after only taking Newcare..! I have to go for walks a lot! It was hard to sleep at night because I was so swollen, but I took medicine and forced myself to sleep. I go for walks regularly and take Newcare regularly, but I want to eat regular food soon ㅠㅠ Green bruises are starting to form around my mouth and neck ㅠㅠ
On the 5th day
, the swelling peaked last night and has gone down. Since I go for walks often, the swelling keeps going down. My jaw and cheeks are still swollen, so I'm doing mouth opening exercises whenever I have time! I want to eat food soon.
On the 6th day
, I slept better today than yesterday. I went for a walk for about an hour for the first time, but I think I should gradually increase the time from now on. Now I have almost no problem breathing, and I keep getting hungry, which is a big problem.
On the 7th day,
I went to the hospital and got disinfection and laser treatment for swelling, and the swelling seems to be going down faster! My stuffy nose is now almost 80% gone, and my senses are slowly coming back. I want to eat more and more foods. In
the 3rd week
, the swelling in my mouth has gone down a lot, and I can go about my daily life without any problems, to the point where I don’t recognize my friends. Also, I can eat rice mixed with soup to some extent, so I want to practice the mouth opening exercise that the reason sent me and eat other foods that I can chew.
In the 1st month,
I also eat more, and I can cut noodles with scissors and eat them. The swelling has also gone down a lot, so I can barely feel the swelling except for my cheeks. I need to exercise hard to get rid of the remaining swelling quickly.
In the 2nd month
, I don’t feel any stinging sensation anymore, and I can go about my daily life. Even simple tasks like part-time jobs and light exercise have helped reduce the swelling a lot. Aside from the swelling on my cheeks, it’s the same as before the surgery. I’m looking forward to the 3-month mark! I had a
consultation with Director Shin Hee-jin to see what’s happening after
the 3-month mark
, and she said I can eat whatever I want . I feel good because I think I just need to focus on reducing the swelling going forward. I can even do exercise like swimming, so I’ll have to focus more on reducing the swelling!
I’ll come back and write a review when I have time. Anyway, I’m very satisfied with my double jaw surgery!
