Motivation

When I was in middle school, my doctor diagnosed me that double jaw surgery can improve my long face shape and protruded jaw. And I've been looking for double jaw surgery for my entire life. Until I became an adult, surgery was impossible, and my parents were so opposed to bone surgery that I gave up to do surgery. I used to take group pictures from behind my classmate.

I thought I should change not only my appearance but also my attitude toward life, so I thought about double jaw surgery again and chose the EU. I found out through the application that Doctor has a long career and I trusted him because he is an Oral and Maxillofacial The surgeon specializes in double jaw surgery, not a plastic surgeon. I thought he could make me satisfied with his experience in plastic surgery, and my parents trusted him that allowed you to do the surgery since he was kind and detailed!

Yesterday, I had surgery and a stuffy nose, but it was hard to open my mouth, so I had a hard time breathing. I feel refresh when the doctor did suction on my nose in the morning. Fortunately, there is no pain, but it is still hard to breathe. Thank you for coming and taking care of me from time to time. I hope it's easier to breathe soon.

My face and neck are very swollen. I was so tired of breathing and fluids early this morning, but I was grateful that the nurse was so kind to me when I hospitalize. I got a laser this morning and now I'm leaving the hospital, so I'm worried about going home.

Fortunately, I don't think I'm more swollen than yesterday! These days, I look at the mirror first as soon as I wake up. Today, I walked for an hour and drink pumpkin juice. Breathing is not that difficult now. I hope only the numbness in the neck and under the eyes is solved!! I don't know why time goes so slow. I want to lie down and sleep after tomorrow.

Noticeably, the swelling in the philtrum has gone down a lot! When I observe my face I feel like my nose and lips seem to be getting less swollen with to asymmetry. I'm not sure if my nose is getting swollen because it's not as easy as I thought. I believe time will solve it. I wanted to eat something new, so I ordered cream soup and soy milk today, and I feel better now! These days, I'm scared to go out for a walk because of the coronavirus, so I'm walking around hard at home. I'm going to wrap myself up and go out tomorrow!

Tomorrow will be post-op for 2 weeks! My face needs to be reducing swelling a lot, but there seems to be a change already after surgery. My parents, who opposed the surgery, said I look better with surgery. I hope my swelling would go down and remove stitches.

It's hard to stay in the house, so I'm walking around with a mask on :) The swelling continues to go down a lot. Especially, it's good to see MY philtrum area getting less swollen!

I met my friend for the first time after surgery. My friend told me that outcome of the surgery is good because I have less swollen. I hope I can go around without a mask soon!

My swelling looks not that different compare to yesterday. My muscles are still awkward when I smile and talk. Nothing is bothering my life after surgery but I have a strong appetite, so I am suffering a lot. I only watch mukbang every day...I can't go out because of the corona these days, but I should do small exercise at home hard at home!

Finally, after a month, I went to the hospital and saw the progress and start the braces! There is still a lot of swelling left, but looking at the pictures before and after, I could tell that there was a lot of difference! I heard that I have more swelling than others. I hope my swelling goes down soon. I've been staying at home lately because of coronavirus, and now that I've been to the hospital after a long time, I feel refreshed. Now that I only have braces left to go, I'll have to take good care of it so I can have good results.

Now I am starting my part-time job again and meeting my friends one by one. My friends told me that my face shape changed a lot after the surgery that also my image changed too! In the past, if it looked frigid and after surgery, I look cuter. I've been eating a lot these days, so I gained weight again, so I should eat less and take care of myself more!

The swelling of my mouth has gone down a little, so the awkwardness has gone away a lot! My parents say that my face has changed a lot every time I see my face. They think that the result of the surgery is really good! I think it's a relief that the semester is being postponed. I can't wait for my swelling was gone!

There's still a lot of swelling, but the swelling on the philtrum has reduced noticeably! My friends tease me about why my lips got so small. I'm looking forward to it because I think it will change even more if the swelling goes away! I'm still eating noodles mainly because of my braces, but there's no big inconvenience! I feel relief after taking out the wafer!!! But I feel much more uncomfortable when I doing my mouth exercise after getting braces.

Time flies so fast already in April! The corona has been continued and not sure that when it will end. So I am taking such a long break. Even though my face shape has changed noticeably, I've been wearing braces, but everyone seems to believe that I've lost some of my swellings, but the problem is that I've been eating so well that I've been gaining weight, so I don't think I can get any less weight or swelling. I should lose weight hard. I feel comfortable now that my mouth is open!! My jaw is still splitting. I'll have to wait a little longer.ᅲᅲ!!

It's almost been post-op 3months!!! I can't believe how much time has passed. Now there's no discomfort and I've got a lot of sense in my jaw! Sometimes it stings, but it doesn't bother me. I can even eat tender meat! I eat so well that I can't lose weight. But it's good to get rid of stress!! I always shortened my chin after taking a selfie, but it's so comfortable because I don't have to do that. I was worried that people would notice that I had surgery, but people didn't notice that I did facial bone surgery. They just told me that my face got much smaller! 

Post OP 4 Months

These days, I forget that I had surgery. I am so happy that I don't have to shorten my face length when I take selfies. Even my parents who opposed the surgery said that it was better to do it for sure. There is no discomfort at all, my senses are almost back, it doesn't hurt, and my swelling is almost gone!! I think the unnatural feeling disappeared a lot!! I'm just waiting for the swelling to be gone in my nose, mouth, and jaw. I am really glad that I chose EU to do the surgery.

6 Months Post OP

It seems like it was just yesterday when I was deciding about getting surgery. It’s already been 6 months!! I met with the doctor last month and did a progress checkup. He told me that there were no problems and that I have been recovering well. I don’t have any discomforts with my daily activities or when eating. My nose is still a bit wider but it does not bother me, plus, I was already warned about it before surgery. When taking pictures, I’m happy with how my jaw changed. I’ll proceed with the rest of my braces procedure. I still have minimal swelling left so I’m waiting for that to decrease! After surgery, I’ve been staying home for a while, I hope corona ends soon. I want to be able to go outside and take pictures. To EU, I want to say thank you once again!

7 Months Post OP

I cannot believe that it’s already been 7 months since my surgery. Due to my braces, my mouth hurts sometimes but other than that, I’m doing well! Who said that weight loss happens after double jaw surgery and braces?! I’m eating well… too well, so I haven’t been able to lose weight! But the swelling in my face is almost gone, I feel that the remaining swelling may also just be my skin. I’m really really really going to go on a diet. Thank you for performing the surgery and making me recover well enough to eat. I’m really satisfied with how much my mouth and jaw changed. I’m thinking of just doing a nose job in the future. Oh right, I also went to EU today to get my braces checked up and the orthodontist was really kind and examined everything carefully. He’s always really kind heehee EU is the best! My vacation is over and I thought I would be able to meet my friends but I only stayed home the whole time. I’m sad but at least my classes are online so I want to do my pin removal by this year. If I meet people, they’ll tell me how much I’ve changed and I would be able to know. I can’t believe I stayed inside during my 7^th month. Next time, I will lose weight and provide a dramatic post OP selfie. I’m always grateful to EU.

8 Months Post OP

Hello!! This is my 8^th month Post OP review~! Everyone I meet keeps saying that I have natural looking results and that it’s hard to tell that I had surgery. Right after surgery, I had bruises on my neck so I couldn’t go outside. Now, it’s been a long time since my bruises have disappeared and I think I only have a bit of swelling left. I still have some fat on my neck that sticks out. I’m not too concerned about that but the braces still make my mouth feel awkward. But compared to how I was before surgery, I am not too bothered about the braces! I want to take them off quickly though. Due to the pandemic, I haven’t been able to go around with my face showing. But when I turn on my camera for my online classes, I am not self-conscious about my face. I tried to take pictures at different angles but I’m not good at taking selfies.

9 Months Post OP

I can’t believe 9 months has passed since my surgery. Everytime I write a review, I feel like time flies by! After losing a little bit of weight, I’m not concerned with my nose widening after surgery and my mom said that my lips look much prettier after surgery. Without it being too obvious, I had positive changes. I feel really happy nowadays! Getting braces surgery will not last as long as I thought, I’m getting it removed next month. It feels like it was only yesterday when I was sitting on the bed after surgery. I’m always thankful to the staff at EU for always being so kind to me. ♥

12 Months Post OP

It’s almost a year since I had surgery!! Time seemed to have gone slowly while I was having a difficult time recovering after surgery, now it’s almost a year! I did my pin removal surgery last month and my process for double surgery is now over! After pin removal surgery, I was swollen for 2~3 days (same amount after double jaw surgery) but after 10 days, it’s almost gone. While I was getting my stitched removed, the doctor said it would be the last time we would meet. It’s amusing how I’m completely over with the double jaw surgery process. Before surgery, I had a lot of concerns and had to think about it a lot but I think I had a good result after surgery. I want to thank the doctor. I will wear my retainers everyday and take good care of it! Thank you EU! ♥
