Motivation
I felt that asymmetry was progressing
slowly from middle school, and I decided to operate because of my low
self-esteem to the point where I don't even want to look in the mirror because
I get stressed whenever I become an adult in high school. The reason for
choosing the EU has been a lot of research, but not only has the post-surgery
experience very solid, but it has also been comfortable to speak to doctors and
consultant.

OP Day
I couldn't breathe and I had a headache
because of the Facial Pressure Bandage. I was in pain because I couldn't
breathe, and I was so scared because I stopped breathing because of blood and
nosebleeds, but the nurse took good care of me and passed by well.
Post
OP 2 Days
I was drinking water and New Care, and it
hurt so much because my neck was scratched. I felt as if blood and nose were
blocking the hole, but as soon as I swallowed it, I felt like I spit it out. I
want to breathe just like before.
Post
OP 3 Days
Today is the day I leave the hospital. I
had my mouth disinfected the day before, but it hurt so much that I decided to
do it again today. It was also a painful time, but I was relieved that the
doctor told me that the operation was good. I had a hard time while I was in
the hospital, but everyone treated me nice, so I think I endured it well.
Post
OP 4 Days
My face began to swell more and more. Every
day was so painful and the medicine was so bitter that I threw up
everything. I want to breathe properly
and my whole body aches from sitting down and sleeping. I want to lie down and
sleep. I wish I could get better soon.
Post
OP 5 Days
My body has a low fever and my face keeps
getting swollen. I feel dizzy and downhearted because I have nothing to eat and
can't sleep well. I hope a month passes quickly.
Post
OP 6 Days
Now I can breathe pretty well with my nose!
Everyone asked me to hang in there for a week, but I feel like I'm going to
live. "I had no pain in my surgery and couldn't breathe, but now I think I
can overcome it better."
Post
OP 7 Days
It was so easy to breathe that I could
sleep well because I slept a little while lying down. I think we just need to
get rid of the swelling.☺
Post
OP 8 Days
I had disinfected it today. After touching
it, it hurt so much that I am scared to untie the stitches out.
Post
OP 14 Days
Tomorrow is the day I go to remove my
stitches. I am very happy to speak & have less swollen than I thought.
Post
OP 15 Days
I was scared to get remove the stitches,
but it only hurt on my upper jaw area and the rest didn't hurt. I can't talk
much because of the rubber band yet, but I want to open my mouth by working out
hard on my mouth exercise.
Post
OP 16 Days
Now I can take out the rubber bands and
wafers for an hour when I eat. Finally, I can eat porridge. Practice opening
your mouth is a bit hard, but if you don't practice, your jaw will get stiff,
so I practice hard.
Post
OP 17 Days
In the morning, my face gets puffy but in
the evening, I get better. My nose and mouth are still a little swollen, so I
hope I can get rid of it quickly.
Post
OP 18 Days
I went to the hospital today and the doctor
told me that I was good at mouth exercise and that I took out the wafer to 6
hours. It was much more comfortable.
Post
OP 19 Days
The swelling is disappearing noticeably.
"It's fun and interesting to look at the mirror. I still have a lot of
swelling in my philtrum, so I look like a rat." "I'm satisfied
because I get better when I'm less swollen."
Post
OP 21 Days
When I put my head back or lower my head,
it felt like my chin was falling out, but it was healed and a lot disappeared.
As time goes by, I feel much better.
Post
OP 22 Days
It's fascinating and fun to watch the
swelling go down. It's really different from the first day I got home.
Post
OP 28 Days
The asymmetry caused by swelling is also
improving!
Post
OP 1 Month
Now I don't have the rubber band that tied my
mouth to. As I untied the rubber band, I feel free to eat food better! The
doctor said that I am still swollen, but I am so much better that I am walking
around without a mask.
Post
OP 60 Days
There is nothing uncomfortable, but I am
working hard on mouth exercises. My mouth is still stiff and I think I'll have
to practice more if I want to open up like before..
Post
OP 70 Days
I still have a double chin, but I look much
better from the front!
Post
OP 80 Days
My friends say they can't remember the face
before the surgery anymore. It's a great change without double chin, too!
Post
OP 85 Days
A friend who I met when my swelling was
worse told me that I look much better now that I have less swollen. I wonder
what will happen if all my swelling is gone!
Post
OP 3 Months
My gums are still swollen, so it hurts a
little if I touch them! I hope my gums will be desweling fast just like my face.
Post
OP 4 Months
The swelling goes down more and more. You
can't tell from selfies, but my friends say my left side is still more
asymmetrical.
Post
OP 5 Months
The swelling of the gums is longer than
expected, perhaps because of the screws on the gums! I feel a little uncomfortable. I feel like
my face is getting deswelling day by day.
Post
OP 6 Months
I eat whatever I want, and I'm doing fine
without any inconvenience.
Post-OP 7 Months
My jawline looks slightly slimmer. After my braces, my whole surgery
journey will be over.
Post-OP 8 Months
Post-OP 9 Months
I’m having no discomforts doing my daily
activity! I just want to remove my braces quickly. I still have some swelling
under my chin. But other than that, I’m not experiencing any trouble.
Post-OP 10 Months
I was told that I only needed braces for 3 more months!! As the end of
my surgery process is getting more near, my happiness is growing. People around
me compliment me and say that my face looks really small. I feel really good!
Post-OP 11 Months
I’m starting to hear that the smaller, stubborn
swelling has decreased and that I look prettier. I’m having fun taking selfies
and my confidence increased! I’m not experiencing any discomfort after the
surgery.
Post-OP 1 Year
Time went by really quickly, I can’t
believe it’s already been one year since my surgery. When I look back at my
before/after pictures, I realized that I had a lot of swelling after surgery.
After the smaller selling decreased, everyone has been telling me that I got
prettier, and I feel highly satisfied. In the past, I had low self-esteem so I
would always photoshop my pictures but I don’t do that anymore. And the staff
at EU were kind to guide me throughout one year and six months with my surgery
and braces.
