Motivation of the surgery
First of all, I have face asymmetry +
occlusion + lantern jaw + long face. From the time I went to the dentist when I
was 12 years old, they told me that it is difficult to improve with only
orthodontic treatment, and necessary to get double jaw surgery. My parents also
told me that they would do double jaw surgery later, and I kept it in mind that
if I grow up I will do the surgery for sure. As the bones grew, the asymmetry and
lantern jaw was getting worse. When I was in the middle school, classmate
teased me a lot about my appearance and I was stressed about it. As I entered
high school, it continued to shrink, making it harder to deal with new people.
It wasn't a strange personality, but when I saw it, I was riding it very hard.
Functional improvement, such as leaking pronunciation or not being able to cut
noodles, of course, is the enough reason to gets double jaw surgery, but I
think the aesthetic is taking big part of the reason that I should get the
surgery done. In the functional part, I don't get much stress, but due to the
appearance my self-esteem is very low and I started put down myself. So, I
think I decided to do double jaw surgery for myself.
Why
EU?
My parents were very concerned about
safety. So I went looking for oral and maxillofacial surgery hospital rather
than plastic surgery hospital. First of all, as soon as I entered the hospital,
I was surprised because there were many people. There will be a reason why
there are many people, so since I entered, I have more faith than other hospitals.
When I was consulted with the doctor, he explains to me that you could help me
to get the ideal face shape that I want such as the degree of the face or the
ratio. In other hospitals, I was only interested in the operation itself, and
there was no consultation tailored to me. I had severe rhinitis, but when EU
mentioned the part differently from other hospitals and told me that it would
be good for surgery.
Operation
Day
I think it would be a lie to say that
nothing hurts. Still, it's not enough to die, but it's enough to be able to
bear it. And others said it was hard to breathe, but I wasn't that bad. The
hardest thing was when the blood kept coming up to the throat and I was feeling
sick. Because of general anesthesia, I woke up often spit out blood when I
suppose to sleep. .

It's been a day after surgery, and my
physical condition has improved compare to yesterday! The nurses also said that
I am in better condition than others. My case was severe that even post op 2
days I look so different. I say that I
start swelling from day 3, but I think it will be better than before surgery.

OP 3 Days
When I was discharged and came home, I
asked the consultant about pain on my teeth since it was so painful with wafers
and pressure bandages. She kindly told me that I can remove the pressure
bandage for a while. And after lunch, I have to take medicine now, but I
haven't taken medicine well, so it's very difficult to take medicine. I think
the tips for taking medicine should come up quickly.

OP 5 Days
I swelled so much that I could never feel this swelling in my life. Most of the people said that the face will be even more puffier up to 4-5 days. When I sent a picture to my friends, they said that they seemed to have used a mobile phone application that turned into a baby face and that I looks like an elementary school students. The swelling is the most symmetrical at the maximum, and I'm so impressed that the chin went in a lot.

OP 10 Days
I'm getting lasers treatment at the
hospital steadily. In those days wafers fit well that I can bit comfortably,
and I have a tip to take medicine. So everything is comfortable. A few days
later, I'm going to remove my stiches! I am looking forward to remove my
stitches!

OP 13 Days
I think the swelling is slowly falling out.
I have feeling that I can see my jaw line? I was forced to diet because I did operate
that I cannot eat food freely. I can wear pants comfortably after lost about 5
kilos. I'm going to keep my weight!

I was nervous about removing the stitches,

the wafer. Wafer supposed to be detached from the 2nd week, but I have to fix
it that I need to eat liquid food 2 more weeks

OP 18 Days
My think the swelling is reduced a lot more
than photo that I send it to her last time, but she said that my face is still swelling
a lot. I asked her if my swelling looks like a fat ad she said that I just
looks like swelling from the surgery.

I didn't have physical strength, but after
I had surgery, my physical strength fell so much that I feel like If I do not
work out I couldn't move it soon. I
think fitness management is essential before surgery. Otherwise, you'll burn
out like me. I just walked at the gym, but I improved my fitness a lot even
though I was walking.

OP 26 Days
It's the first time I saw her after
surgery, and she told me that my face was getting small and cute. I'm not used
to compliments yet, and I am very embarrassed, but I feel great. Now it's a
month! I think the jawline is clearly visible now

OP 29 Days
I think time went really fast. I went to
the hospital for braces and monthly check up. Doctor told me that symmetry was
improved a lot, the occlusion was good, and the surgery outcome is also good.
When I looked at the pictures before and after X-rays, the difference was huge.
I can trust and entrust Dr. It's Kim !. I met an orthodontist for the first
time because I was surgery first approach than braces. Why are all the EU
doctors gentle? I was so impressed they treat me so kind.

After a month, the swelling seems to have
decreased! In the past, when I was taking a selfie, I used to edited on the
photo and modify my jaw to looks smaller and the symmetry was not correct even
when I was edited. The bangs were mandatory and I was busy covering my face
with my side hairs, but I feel like I reborn after surgery..

OP 44 Days
When I applied my makeup properly, I think my
image really changed a lot. The acquaintances who don't know that I did the
surgery, they think that I changed my image a lot maybe cause of the braces or
diet. Also, people cannot recognize that I did double jaw surgery unless I told
them I had surgery first. I think doctor did the surgery so naturally. Thank
you for being so good at the surgery and being kind to take care of the
post-care.

I can smile much naturally nowadays, and I
can open my mouth well. I am available to eat many foods unless it is hard or
chewy! It seems that my stomach has shrunk a lot because I didn't eat well
after surgery. It seems that the diet is automatically adjusted because the
amount of eating is less than before the operation. I think there are so many
benefits from surgery. The image is softened, I am dieting, I am deeply confident,
and I think it has changed a lot.

I had a part-time job at a convenience
store and the manager told me that he chose me because my first impression looks
good. I feel good when customers sometimes give drinks.
