Whenever I closed my
mouth, my jaw felt awkward and my wrinkles show on my chin. I visited a
hospital to get Botox due to get a better shape of chin but it did not help at
all. When people see my face they thought I am mad because of the facial
expression but I am not. When time goes facial asymmetry gets worse. I realize
that I couldn't postpone it anymore to get facial bone surgery. Lastly, I heard
that EU is good at facial bone surgery and oral and maxillofacial
surgeons.

I was so tired
because I couldn't wake up and I think I'm really going to die because I can't
breathe. I didn't know it was such a hard operation. My mom said it took me
about four hours, but when I woke up, the surgery was over. I hope the swelling
goes down soon.

I think the edge of
the chin swelling reduces a bit. I can drink some water and newcare. I can also
walk around a bit but still, it’s
hard to breathe through my nose.

Doctor stitch out for
me and my face turning yellow because of the bruise.
Post OP 12 Days
The bruise on my neck
gets much better. At first I was worry that if with surgery my face cannot
improve symmetrically but after deswelling, it looks much better. Finally, I
can lie down and fall asleep!

After removing out
the stitches, the swelling really reduces it a lot as the nurse said. I thought
I would eat something properly from now on so I removed the rubber band and ate
steamed eggs as soon as I arrived home. By the way, stitch out was so hurt that
I thought I was going to die.

The swelling on the
tip of the chin is surprisingly disappearing. As times goes by I love the
result of the surgery and I get used to wearing rubber band too J
Post OP 18 Days
The tip of the chin
is getting thinner and thinner. I visited the hospital to check the occlusion,
and I got goosebumps when I heard that if the upper and bottom teeth do not in
align next week, it should be fixed with wire. I was afraid that I have to eat
food with a syringe again… Also,
I think my sensation starts to come back since my left cheek is tingling. The
nerves under my eyes returned.

I still have a lot of
swelling on my face and double chin. : (
Post OP 24 Days
I realized that
taking a walk is the best to help reduce swelling! I feel better every time I
look in the mirror because I feel like my double chin is getting better. My mom
kept laughing at me, saying that I looked like someone else, but if I knew I
would look better like this, I would do it earlier. I never notice that facial
bone surgery can change my appearance this much!

Swelling on the chin
area reduced a lot compared to the cheekbone. For the first week of surgery, I
regret a lot the fact that I did the surgery. However, at this moment I am
proud of myself that I did surgery already! I cannot wait to see my final
result of the surgery!
Post OP 34 Days
I went to the
hospital and removed the wafer that I had been attached to for a month and
changed it to a transparent one. I did not put rubber band for a few weeks that
when I retry to wear it, I was so painful. I really wanted to cry
and bleeding from my gums.

It's posted OP 100
days!, but I've been chewing meat and eating soy sauce marinated crab well
these days. Before surgery, my chin was protruded that people told me that I
look upset. After surgery, I never heard that kind of comment from others. I'm
happy that I can tie up the hair these days. By the way, my face is still
reducing the swelling.

These days, I just
forget the fact that I did double jaw surgery! I think my mouth
feels much comfortable as time goes by day by day. Everyone who knows about my
previous face told me that I look much better after surgery! I'm
satisfied with my life.
Post OP 6 Months
Finally, I can wear a
turtle neck after surgery! Before surgery, when I wear those clothes my bottom
jaw looks so outstanding, but after surgery I look much better with same
clothes!
Post OP 7 Months
I really like my side
face and I do not feel insecure when people said they will take pictures of me.
Also, I can eat hard food!
Post OP 8 Months
I really like my
jawline! Sometimes my family show to be the picture of me before surgery. Those
pictures really shock me! I really like my side face right now! I just want to
say thanks to doctor!
