Reason for Surgery
Ever since I was young, I was concerned
about my facial asymmetry and I had a hard time chewing food due to my
malocclusion, which caused frequent indigestion. This was causing me a lot of
stress. I’ve always wanted to get surgery but since my parents were worried
about such a big procedure, I kept pushing it back. People around me told me
that EU Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery were good at jaw surgery so I decided
to get surgery! I’m very excited and nervous for my upcoming operation.
OP
Day
I was surprised that the swelling was not
severe. My throat hurts everytime I swallow T__T The doctor told me that my
surgery went well which made me happy! However, I couldn’t breathe well. Having
a portable humidifier at night is really helpful! I hope time goes by quickly
so that I can breathe better.

OP: 2 Days
After the tube in my nostril got removed, it felt refreshing.
Breathing felt much more comfortable! They also removed my catheter and after
that, I was able to move around more. Right after the surgery, I felt so tired
to the point where I didn’t use my phone. After one night, I felt much better.
I’m looking forward to m new appearance!

OP: 3 Days
The doctor disinfected my mouth in the
morning and I got de-swelling laser treatment and got discharged. The
consultant went over the pre-cautions after surgery with me before I left. It
made me felt more relieved. After arriving home, I blended one can of New Care
with a banana (it tasted really good). I also had some pumpkin porridge and
took a rest. The dental wafer still feels uncomfortable but I feel better
compared to yesterday and the day before.

OP: 4 Days
My sore throat is finally getting better! I’m
able to drink and sleep better now! Other than my nose feeling a little bit
stuffy when I sleep, I feel much better. I’m looking forward to how I will
recover!
Post
OP: 5 Days
The swelling seems to be decreasing. Up
until the fourth day, my swelling seemed to have been getting worse. It made me
worried but now I can see that it’s decreasing very slowly! I go on 1 hour long
walks, consume porridge, mashed sweet potato, New Care, soup, pumpkin extract,
etc. Maybe since I’m consuming a variety of things, the swelling seems to be
getting better. I’ll try to recover quickly by eating well!

OP: 6 Days
Wow. When I woke up, I could tell that my
swelling decreased. Of course it’ll still take some time for it to decrease
completely, but since the difference is visible, I’m really happy. The dullness
in my ears disappeared. My nerves/sensations were already fine after surgery
and my body seems to feel better after each day. I’m able to enjoy outdoor
activities more. I wore my mask and went on a walk outside. I’m taking my
medication everyday and I’m using the compression band everyday. Maybe that is
why I am not experiencing any skin sagging? Also, I suggest to eat well after
surgery. Tomorrow will be one week since my surgery and I want to go to the
clinic quickly and receive my laser treatment. Everything seems to get better
after 6 days J
Post
OP: 7 Days
It’s finally been a week! I went to the
clinic and saw the doctor and got my laser treatment. The swelling seems to
decrease faster after 7 days. I’m not experiencing any severe difficulties
while doing my daily activities. I’m getting tired of consuming porridge, soup,
new care, etc. There are a lot of foods that I want to eat but I can’t chew
anything right now. But I still feel it was worth it when looking at my
appearance. I’m glad that I chose EU and I am grateful to Dr. Kim.

OP: 8 Days
At first, the swelling under my chin didn't
go away so I looked like a toad. But now that it's gone, the jawline is a bit
more visible. Maybe it was because I walked a lot yesterday, but my swelling
went down a little more. The more you walk, the less swollen you’ll be. I’m
happy that I can finally lie down and sleep (without having to sit up). I hope
time passes quickly.

My swelling is decreasing more and more! Time
is medicine… I’m consuming pumpkin porridge and going on my daily walks. The
only thing that’s making me uncomfortable is not being able to chew solid
foods…. Time seems to go by quickly now that I feel more comfortable. But I’m
feeling stressed out that I can’t eat regular food…
Post
OP: 10 Days
My swelling decreased more. I met my
friends after a long time and they told me that my face looks smaller and that
my appearance improved. It made me feel happy. Just like what Dr. Kim said,
there are a lot of positive factors that I can gain from double jaw surgery. I
was able to walk a lot with my friends today.
Post
OP: 11 Days
My swelling got better so I was able to
wear my mask and do outdoor activities. I found the best food that people can
eat after double jaw surgery… it’s castella bread dipped in milk. It was so
delicious that I almost cried. I went on my daily walk and had some pumpkin
extract.
Post
OP: 18 Days
Most of the bigger swelling seems to have
decreased. I’m used to taking out and putting back on the rubber bands and
dental wafer! I’m still doing the jaw exercises despite it being over 2 weeks.
I can fit 2 fingers inside of my mouth. I want to be able to chew foods as soon
as possible.
Post
OP: 19 Days
It’s been 19 days since I had surgery. I
almost forget that I had surgery because I am not in any pain! The first 4 days
after surgery was really difficult. Everything feels much more comfortable now
and I can open my mouth more widely. I’m still sad that I can’t eat what I want
though. My diet consists of mainly soft foods. Recently, I had soft tofu since
it breaks apart easily. I have to think about what I should eat next time.
Post
OP: 20 Days
It’s been 3 weeks since my surgery. If I
don’t tell anyone that I had surgery, they don’t notice! I hope the remaining
swelling decreases soon.
Post
OP: 21 Days
I ate too many salty foods last night so my
face was puffy when I woke up. I’m still drinking pumpkin extract. I’m back at
work and I have no difficulties when doing my job. I’m craving so many foods so
I keep eating and eating. Maybe that’s why I gained weight heehee. I want to be
able to chew foods quickly.
Post
OP: 22 Days
Whenever I wake up, my face tends to get puffy. I’m trying to eat so
that I can survive, not because it’s delicious… I went to work and everything
seems fine! I’m having no difficulties, I want to thank the doctor and the
consultants at the clinic! Thank you very much!
Post
OP: 23 Days
I keep thinking about chewing food T__T. I sleep about 10 hours a day
so I’m happy. I want to go to the clinic quickly for my post-op 1-month
checkup.
Post
OP: 24 Days
Whenever I go to work, my face seems to
look swollen. But I can see that the swelling is decreasing so I’m glad about
that! I just need to wait a bit more about chewing food.
Post
OP: 25 Days
I’m still doing the jaw exercises and using
the rubber bands. It’s best to do what the doctor instructs you to do for
safety. Time is medicine. At first, my face was really swollen so I didn’t have
high expectations with the results, but as the swelling decreases, I get
happier. Most of the bigger swelling has decreased. I only need to wait for the
smaller swelling to decrease.
Post
OP: 26 Days
It’s hard to fall asleep nowadays. Maybe
that is why I’m breaking out. But I really like my jawline. I hope more of the
smaller swelling decreases.
Post
OP: 27 Days
I’ll visit the clinic tomorrow and see the
doctor. I’m looking forward to it. I hope that I can take off my wafer.
Everyone around me is complimenting me so I’m happy.

I met the doctor and he told me that I can
finally chew food now!! Also, he told me that my bones are healing well and are
attached well. I went to a rest stop and had a bowl of udon noodles and I
almost cried from happiness.
Post
OP: 29 Days
I heard that there is a good noodle place
in Gangnam. I was with my sister and we happened to walk by the clinic.
Whenever I’m near the clinic, I want to go in for some reason. Since the
surgery was carried out well and I had no complications! Once again, I’m really
grateful to the clinic.

It’s been one month since I had surgery.
I’m happy now that I’m able to chew food. But I still can’t eat anything hard
or tough… only foods that are breakable with the strength of my fingers. But
I’m still happy!
Post
OP: 43~50 Days
Other than really hard foods, I can finally
eat a variety of foods. Before surgery, I had malocclusion so I couldn’t chew
properly. Now, I can chew foods without any problems. It’s really cool and
makes me happy. I’m in the middle of doing braces so my teeth hurt a bit. But
whenever I look in the mirror, I’m happy. I

OP: 51~58 Days
My swelling decreased so much to the point
where people can’t recognize that I had double jaw surgery. I get compliments
from people telling me that I look handsome. I feel happy everyday and since my
occlusion matches, I can eat food properly. I want to thank Dr. Kim and the
staff at EU Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery one more time!
Post
OP: 59~66 Days
It’s been more than two months since my
surgery. I almost forgot that I had surgery. Other than foods that are too hard
and tough, I can eat everything else! I was having a hard time right after
surgery but now, I’m very very very happy! If anyone around me considers
getting double jaw surgery, I will recommend EU Oral & Maxillofacial
Surgery to them!

I got a haircut today. I’m able to look people
in the eyes when I talk with them. Everyday, my swelling seems to be
decreasing. It’s important to take care of your skin so that you can prevent
sagging.
Post
OP: 106~136 Days
The bigger swelling has decreased and I can
see my appearance improving! When I bite down, my teeth are in a good position.
Before surgery, it was difficult to cut food with my front teeth. I can eat
ramem noodles without any problems now.

I highly recommend EU Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery!

effects! I still feel uncomfortable with pieces of food getting stuck in my
teeth. I’m happy that I can chew and eat foods without any problems now.
Post
OP: 9 Months
My face looks big in pictures, but it’s
because I take pictures close to my face. My face actually looks small in
person. People don’t recognize that I had surgery unless I tell them. I want to
take my braces off!
Post
OP: 10 Months
It’s been 10 months since I had double jaw
surgery. My face shape looks much smaller and better. I don’t like how wide my
nose looked so I got surgery for it. I was told that it’s possible to get a rhinoplasty
3 months after double jaw surgery. But I wanted to wait 10 months just in case!
Post
OP: 12 Months
It’s been 1 year now. I don’t have any
discomforts now! No side effects either. I had one friend who was considering
double jaw surgery and after they saw me, they had no doubts. It improved my
facial asymmetry and made my face look smaller! I’m happy.
