The reason why I decided to do the surgery
I was
stress out at looking at my face due to long face, lantern jaw and especially I
do not like the side profile that I look older than her age. Also, when times
goes my asymmetric face got worse. First of all, I have stressed due to the
pronunciation was incorrect because of 3rd malocclusion. I really want to get
into this major which is count a lot on the appearance.
Why am I decided to do surgery at EU?
Since
double jaw surgery is kind of big surgery compare to other surgery that I have
been searching for the information a lot through application or acquaintance.
That finally I made my decision to do the consultation at EU! .
1st, I
visited a plastic surgery hospital since my friend recommends me but I get a
broken heart from the hospital and cannot trust them that I just came back.
2nd,
when I search it I heard that double jaw surgery must be done at Oral and
Maxillofacial Surgery Center.
I am still
a minor, and I have to go to counsel with my dad they are really worried about
my surgery. Even my dad was not active about the fact that I want to do facial
bone surgery. But after received a consultation, he made a deposit on that day,
confirmed the date of the surgery. I think because the doctor was really
trustworthy. Certainly, unlike ordinary plastic surgeons, the doctor only
caught the necessary parts that I need surgery on. Because He was sympathetic
to the patient’s
perspective and had the counseling, he was able to turn my dad’s heart even if I tried to persuade him for a few days. In
conclusion, the doctor’s true heart, experience,
patient-oriented mind, trustworthiness, the kindness of the consultant and the
EU staff made me choose EU!
Post Operation Day
I did not
expect to be this tough L It was painful and so hard to breathe.. It was so
tough. I was really sleepy and everything was very uncomfortable. But when time
goes, I found out how to breathe. Also, the nurse was taking care of me so
well! She was very kind and nice. Thank you!

I feel much
comfortable after removing the tube from the nose. I heard that doctor will do
dressing for me today, I can expect that I can feel much better after he
dressing for me!~ I finally I drink something that is not water, which is new
care! Also, I got laser treatment today which is so warm!!~ and good for deswelling

Today, I
was less thirsty than yesterday, so I was able to eat water with new care more
easily! I am happy that I can feel much comfortable than yesterday. I am going
to be discharged today. As soon as I wake up, I am being treated for laser
treatment, eating new medicine, disinfecting my mouth, and waiting for my
device to be inserted. My face was really asymmetrical that doctor must be cut
the different amount of left and right bone. So, I think that is the main
reason what my swelling of the right and the left side is different. Also, the
nurse told me not to worry too much! My condition is better than the 1st day
and the mood is better.

tough day because of the swelling, but I think I have been taking good care of
myself! Since I take a walk & medicine well! Also, I can sleep very well
and recover pretty fast compare to other people! I really wish that I can eat

that often that I do not need to worry about it! Please!!!~

swell is reduced already!

of things today, in the morning I drink cup noodle soup and ate small noodles

Today, I
ate chicken soup with ginseng! Finally, I ate something that is real food! I
want to eat this soup more often! Also, I am worried about my swelling because
it reduces differently but when I ask the consultant she said it's normal, so I
feel relief!

I did
makeup for the first time after surgery and it was a bit unnatural for me
because of swelling. But I can totally realize that my face gets much smaller
when I do makeup! Also, I did a part-time job today, and one of our frequent
customers told me that I get much prettier! I was really happy and I think that
I made the right choice for the hospital J

me that I look really pretty that I was so happy! J

In those
days I ate a lot of salty food that my face looks swell more than any other
days. I should avoid salty food & noodles. Furthermore, I realize how
important walking it is! From now on I will walk a lot and eat less salty food!
I wish that my face can look more natural after minor deswelling!
