Reason for Surgery :
Ever since I was in high school, I was
interested in taking care of my appearance but due to my protruded mouth, I had
no confidence with my side profile. Whenever I took photos, I would feel
stressed whenever I saw my selfies without any filters. The most difficult
thing was not being able to cut noodles with my front teeth properly. I was
scared and nervous to get surgery but I didn’t want to be stressed with my appearance
any longer so I made a huge decision to get surgery.
Reason for Choosing EU:
I found out about EU Oral &
Maxillofacial Surgery through a plastic surgery app. I searched for them on
youtube and found out that they had a channel. I subscribed to their channel
and watched their videos and ended up getting a consultation at the clinic. The
atmosphere at the clinic was okay and the staff were really kind and made sure
to examine everything carefully. It made me put my trust in them.
Post-Op: 1 Day
After I woke up from the anesthesia, I was
very dizzy and threw up blood. The most difficult part was breathing. I was
given “New Care” but I only ended up drinking half of it. My throat felt dry so
I drank a lot of water.
Post-Op: 3 Days
My breathing got better now but my swelling
got worse. When I looked in the mirror, I thought I was someone else. I
consumed soup and pumpkin extract when I got hungry. I also had “New Care” and
went out on a walk around my house for about 30 minutes.
Post-Op: 7 Days
I feel comfortable breathing now but my bruises haven’t disappeared. I think the swelling decreased. Other than when I was eating, I made sure to use the compression band. As soon as I woke up, I drank two pouches of pumpkin extract and also had some steamed egg since I was hungry. I also went on a 30 minute walk in the morning and during the night. I was craving something sweet so I bought ice cream at a nearby café. I feel like I only experience pain at night. I feel pain on my jaw. I hope this pain can disappear soon.
Post-Op: 22 Days
I wanted to go to Baskin-Robbins so I made
sure to go there during my daily walk. My swelling is decreasing pretty quickly.
My bruises are also disappearing and the area where I have bruises tends to get
itchy. Day by day, I can see that my swelling is decreasing. I’m making sure
that I’m doing my jaw exercises and I am able to open my mouth wider compared
to before. I still feel pain and tingling sensation on my jaw. Also, I’ve been
craving sugar so I drink chocolate milk more than New Care.
Post-Op: 25 Days
It’s been a while since I put on makeup. I
went on a walk to look at some flowers. Whenever I wake up, my face seems to
swell.
Post-Op: 38 Days
a lot of my swelling has decreased. Of
course, I’m still swollen though. The braces aren’t too painful but I still get
uncomfortable since food keeps getting stuck in it. I’m trying to find a place
that has good risotto. Recently, I went to Hongdae to eat an omelet soufflé. It
was very soft so I think I’ll go there often! I’m doing the jaw exercises
everyday. I’m worried if I can correct my dental midline without the wafers. It’s
not easy.
Post-Op: 52 Days
While brushing my teeth, I was able to see
the new flesh that was growing over the holes where the screws were. I think
only half of the sensation returned for the roof of my mouth. Sometimes, I feel
a tingling sensation on the roof of my mouth. I can fit 3 fingers in my mouth
and my dental midline is matching more compared to last time. I’m not
experiencing any pain or discomfort.
Post-Op: 114 Days
My dental midline matches now and I’m
drinking tea that helps with swelling. I can see that most of my swelling has
decreased. Also, I can fit more than 3 fingers in my mouth now. I went to the
clinic today and was told that I can eat any foods now. I almost cried when I heard
that. I’m trying to eat what I couldn’t like spicy rice cakes. I made sure to cut
them up into small pieces.
Post-Op: 142 Days
After surgery, I wasn’t able to eat
properly since I was in pain and breathing was also difficult. It seems like it
was only yesterday when I was having trouble sleeping. I’m able to eat chicken
and spicy rice cakes, foods which I couldn’t eat before I’m eating well and I’m
still going on walks. Since it’s my vacation, I was able to go to the water
park and since I had to walk a lot, my swelling got much better. Also, putting
on lipstick was difficult in the past. But now, I’m able to rub my lips
together. I’m not experiencing any discomforts.
Post-Op: 185 Days
I’m doing well nowadays. It seems like it
was yesterday when I had my surgery. Time flies by quickly. I can see that my
swelling is decreasing and my friends have been saying that I got a lot
prettier which makes me happy. I’m receiving the orthodontic treatment without
any problems. Since I have braces, I pay more attention to brushing my teeth
now. I’m always afraid that my braces will fall off when I eat so I’m being
careful. When I sleep, I put a small rubber band on y braces. It didn’t hurt at
first but as time goes by, I feel pain.
